Haven't changed the exhaust gaskets yet. Will work on the exhaust leak and report back. I'm guessing some slop in the valvetrain on the driver side as well. Don't know enough about it to know what adjustment there will be yet. Looks like a learning lesson in the works.

Its a la360 10.5 compression flat top pistons. I'm looking for the cam specs but it has a healthy chop. 10/30 with zinc

I've been told these engines are supposed to sound like sewing machines. I think mine sounds a little noisier than that. I hear the exhaust leak, but there seems to be something else there. What do y'all think? Motor has about 6000 on the rebuild. Feels strong but this noise seems to be...

you could easily sell the chevy and pick of a small block 360 in its place

Another vote for the Shumacher torque arm bolted in. Works fine and simple to install.

A "400hp" 408 with good internals plus 15lbs of boost will be pretty close and run on 93 octane. I've got a few of the needed pieces for the turbo setup from the last build and have local contacts to source the other parts from. If I didn't have those contacts your suggestions would probably be...

Thanks for clicking. I'm planning out how the build on the Dart will go and could use some guidance. Currently it has a LA360 motor with Flat top pistons at 10.5-1 compression. Looks to be a fairly basic rebuild. A TCI Streetfighter 727 transmission with a manual valve body and an 8 1/4 rear...

Sorry I missed this post. I ended up going with a Edelbrock vacuum secondary carb. Other than that the recipe stayed the same The car was a very fun cruiser with cold ac and decent handling for a 40 year old car. I sold it to a friend of mine who was looking for a weekend cruiser and picked up...

Thanks guys. The xe262 is the overwhelming response I've seen for this setup. I can't find a sound clip of it at idle though. There are plenty of xe268 stock 318 sound clips on youtube though. Oh well.

Thanks guys. This really has been a learning lesson of a car.

Back from the dead. Decided to not mess with the cam for now. Current progress about to be finished this week. Stock 2bbl Holley -> 600cfm Holley DP. Stock Intake -> Edelbrock Performer with 318 ports Stock exhaust manifolds -> Hedman Longtubes New AC Parts Went with a front end rebuild...

Anybody have a clip at idle?

Glad I asked. Local guys are saying the purple shaft will work, but web research says it's not the optimum choice. I bought the DP to be able to eventually mod it for a blow through setup. The more likely scenario now is whatever mods go on the car in the next few months will be the mods...

yes

Tire is 245-45-17 25.7" diameter. Not sure what gear is in it. It's not a steep racing gear. I'll have to count the driveshaft rotations when the rear end is in the air this afternoon. Converter is whatever came with it. Again.. probably pretty close to stock. Yes. Picked up the parts...

Double checking the cam. It came from a guy who ran it in a 340 and wanted something a little more radical.

When I picked up my '72 she still was pretty much bone stock. I've picked up a small pile of parts to perk up the driving experience. I'm hoping to get some feedback on my parts list. Here's the plan Stock 2bbl Holley -> 600cfm Holley DP. Stock Intake -> Edelbrock Performer with 318 ports...
