    Oil leak

    I’m dealing with almost the same thing. I just changed everything out because the cover was corroded and losing coolant. Got the car running and it’s leaking at the crank seal, now. Very frustrating! My friend suggested to put the cover on loosely, install the balancer and then tighten the...

    Early 273 intake problems

    Thank you for that info. I forgot to add I upgraded to the Mopar electronic ignition distributor with an orange box. I gave it some thought and ended up with an Edelbrock Performer intake (I’m going to sell the RPM). Hopefully it will be running by the weekend.

    Early 273 intake problems

    Makes sense. This engine is only going to in for less then a yr, if everything goes right. I just need it running and driving right now. I drive with my foot on the floor most of time so that should help too :steering:

    Early 273 intake problems

    True but I couldn’t find anything else. Plus being a 4spd car should help. I have a Weiand stealth intake on my Stude’s 360. I was thinking about swapping them

    Early 273 intake problems

    I ended up with an old performer rpm manifold. I went ahead and bought an Edelbrock AVS2 500cfm with a manual choke. I have everything to put it together but now it’s thanksgiving and it’s suppose to rain for almost 2 weeks :BangHead:

    Early 273 intake problems

    Yeah I thought it was odd too. I’ve put a new tank, lines, filter and pump in it. I drove it 1100 miles to the Zip Tie drags with no problems after I installed all that. I’ll have check it Edit: the original carb was shot. Too much play on the butterfly shaft to hold a constant idle. So 2...

    Early 273 intake problems

    Sorry I’ve been absent. Work and family stuff. Thank you all the responses so far. This is where I’m at today (with y’alls help)... I feel that the Offy is for a later model and I definitely have 315’s heads (273). I think I’m going to sell the Offy. It’s soo nice, I don’t want to be the one to...

    Early 273 intake problems

    They are 5/16 bolts. The wrench is a 1/2. I just went checked the casting #. They are 2465315’s I’ll get pics tomorrow. No locating pins

    Early 273 intake problems

    Yes there are a few locally. The intake looks like it sits correctly on the heads. I need to double check it.

    Early 273 intake problems

    Pics 3 & 4 show the difference. It’s a little bit off between the 2. Enough to cause problems. That’s what is making me think it’s possibly for the latter engines. I’m lost too! Lol

    Early 273 intake problems

    This was on the factory intake and it uses 5/16ths bolts

    Early 273 intake problems

    Early 273 intake problems

    First things first. I have read all the stuff on early 273 intake bolt sizes and angles. I’m looking for a solution/suggestion to my problem. My 273 used the 5/16ths intake bolts. I have a ‘64 Valiant 2dr ht Valiant with a 273/4spd setup. I’ve had nothing but problems with 3 different 2bbl...

    Anyone else using MegaSquirt on a LA motor?

    subscribing. I have a mag motor I want to put MS on but I have no idea how it all works. I just know I’m sick of my stupid carb! Lol

    Not in a A Body but listen to this small block scream!

    That sounds absolutely bada$$!!! I wish I could afford to build an engine like that for my Valiant. Then it really would be the Flying V! :lol:

    5.2/5.9 Magnum Swap, Who's dun 'em?

    My 2 engines are OBD-I which is why I was thinking going Mega squirt. I read somewhere that OBD-II is a better system, making it better for a retro fit.

    5.2/5.9 Magnum Swap, Who's dun 'em?

    Where was this? I have 2 magnums and want to use the efi but I know the computer/efi setup sucks. I have been thinking about a mega squirt set with the stock magnum stuff(engine efi stuff), but haven't really looked into it yet.

    Magnum stroker ?

    Thanks for the responses! Before anyone says something like.."just use an LA engine"...I have 2 magnums and I am going to use what I have. I forgot about the cams being more $$. lol That's OK. I want a roller cam anyways. It will take some time to gather parts. I will have to wait until...

    Magnum stroker ?

    I have a 360 magnum that I want to build into a mild stroker. I need to do it on a budget(shocker! lol). I hope to be able to use the stock heads but will buy the RHS X heads if need be. Of course this drag it out longer but oh well. So I ask these questions..... Is it possible to build a...

    Blueprint Engines 408ci Mopar Motor

    I thought blueprint gave you a dyno sheet on the engine and a warranty? Got to be worth something. Of course it might not be the one for that engine(dyno sheet).
