I would take the hood off either way, bock the back tires and jack the car up. take a chain and run it from a decent bolt spot to another with the chain really tight then pluck it right out, assuming that you are not pulling the transmission. One of the holes on each side of the cylinder wall...
Im trying to save space on the post, seeing how I have already talked about my engine and other what not on here.. besides I can search one post and find all of my intel. :D
It is a stock 360 block out of an 86 Dodge truck. This is all I know, a guy offered it to me for 100 dolla so I...
nope, I am totally stupid, it was the harmonic ballencer. Lmao.. wow.. anyways after i got past that I got the rest done in about 30 min.
BIG HUGE THANKS TO PRINE!! He pm'd me and kept giving me tips on the best way to deal with taking things off.. He is def. one of the nice guys on the site..
I stuck a pry bar up in the crank and then did it, it came right off then, but now how do I get the pully off? does it pull straight out?
sorry, I have never taken the internals out, I have put a few parts in while I was in school, but the next class always continued where we left off. so it...
when I try to turn it, it just keeps going and going.. turning the pistons and all.. but the bolt is staying in the same place...
I can get the block about half way turned then it stops..
I will try to pry it around tomorrow. I am filthy and I need to get cleaned up.
it was 3/4 and those fuckers were on there.. but I got them off.. new problem is that my dad mounted the engine onto the stand using the heads, so I need to dig my cherry picker out of the back corner of a hoarders garage to lift the block up and replant it.. :/
its looking to be a long night...
I cant seem to break the bolts loose on the heads on my 360. This is the first time I have ever attempted to take a set off and appart so does anyone have any tricks?
The lifter bosses are another way to tell, but I think MA has ten bolts in the head? and LA has around 6?
Lifter bosses on a MA. are beefy, LA is beefy but has a gap between them...
I thought they made MA. back in the day also??
Good news is I was just offered a night shift management position at a 24 hour gas station. 12.00 an hour is better than minimum wage (7.55) at wendys any day lol.
Ferg. struck a nerve lol, my slant spun a bearing so I might def. consider that.
I have to have the heads worked on in Neveda...
Well my Hp range is 475 to 500. What pistons would you recomend? or should I get everything forged and call it good? How doess the cast Iron gear help? sorry for the dumb question. lol
As we go I am writting this stuff down.
I wont buy as I go, I will save up as much money as possible and...
Yes I understand, you lose .012 so order that on what you want.
I am looking into kits right now and I am going to talk to the guy that builds the motors at the shop to see what he believes I should get.
Performance wise, what type of crank and cam should I get?
I am really good friends with the guy that owns the only mopar shop within a 50 mile radius, he has an engine shop at the base of a hill and a body shop on top, he has a bunker/basement that he keeps all of his blocks and car parts in. I showed him the pictures of my block and he agreed that it...
So what you are saying Ferg Is that I have to put more into the block to get what I want out of the alum. heads?
I want the motor to be streetable, but fuel economy is not a problem.
I was considering dome pistons, I dont know what rods to get, same for crank and cam. I am certain that...
After scrubbing the block with a tooth brush and some cleaner I got this
<3418496.4.850>
the Ex. manifolds
T 88703371-1 5-22-75
Strating from the bottom up.
How big of an oil pan will I need for a Stroker motor? most have enough space for 4.125 stroke, Is that the stroke of the 408?
well ****, I must have miss read the article on moparmagazine.. anyways these are the numbers I got off the block, they are small and 8,6,5,9 are hard to read.

I will take another look tomorrow so I have better lighting.
