I am doing the identical thing to a Dart Sport right now. A mellow 440 and all. My understanding is that the RPM will not clear. I have a weiand Team G and it won't clear either they say. Many guys like the Holley Street Dominator I think it is. It clears and produces good HP even...

I love living remotely. I ride everything I own on my own property. I can do all the outdoor stuff within a few feet of my door. Skunks, Coyotes, Deer Elk etc. all come with it. That and no parts stores. It should be fine. I am fixing it this week end. Thank you, ROB

Here is the story now that I have a second. The truck is right before they went to FI so there are vacuum hoses etc. all over. I removed a good sized box of unhooked smog parts and there was still a pile left on there which I have not removed yet due to time and weather. Anyways, once I...

I'm literally in the process of ripping an Aspen RT apart right this second and I would agree with Rumblefish. The look the same as my 73 Dart that I parted. Just a thought, ROB

Sorry for the Ford question but I know you can help. I have an older (87) truck that I use for towing. It has a 460 and is set-up to tow. Apparently it had an engine oil cooler. At some point, someone had bypassed the cooler and ran a high-pressure rubber hose and attached the two...

Two questions 440 Duster: 1. What does it run in the quarter? Does it go sideways at 30 when you stab it? 2. Is your mileage out of single digits? I'm asking, because I am contemplating doing a 440 in my old Duster. Thanks, ROB

So you're saying that I can take a b/RB block, get cordoba mounts and bolt it into my 73 with a factory 318? No modifying of the K at all?

OK. Thank you for the link. I didn't want to pursue them if they were not likely to work. Have a great Thursday, ROB

I have come across a set of heads that were on the same engine. One is the common 4027596 head The other is a 4071051 Head What is the practical difference between these two heads? Will it hurt to run them on the same engine? I am considering using them in a performance...

I've always thought that valve guide knurling went hand in hand with ridge reamers and dingle ball hones. Good for a firewood truck but a high performance engine? They could have at least used slightly oversized stems or some other "trick". I know you know, but ring eng gaps shouldn't be...

I will have to check on it. I have not had that many motors apart to not remember. My kids just took a car pan off of a known 318 car so I think I will compare them later in the week. Thanks for the help, I knew something was smaller there. ROB

It is a center sump. Isn't one of the main caps smaller on the 360 or something that makes the pan different? I know it is, but I don't have both of them in front of me to see for sure. Thanks for the help, ROB

I have what I believe to be an oil pan off of a 73 360. It has the numbers 955 on it in big numbers. Is this the car pan for that vintage? Thanks, ROB

I did it on a 318. I used a magnet and some pliers etc. It was a booger, but it came out with some time. It seems like I used a screwdriver. FWIW-ROB

A couple of zero's ! I think it would handle 3 horse for sure. I meant to say 300-400 HP build-up. ROB

I went out and looked at a potential engine for the budget Duster. I was told that it was a 74 truck engine and the casting numbers seem to agree. Casting numbers are the following: BLock: 3418496 Heads: 3769974 I was told that it ran good etc. I tend to be very cynical when I...

I usually sell off what I don't need. That is how I have paid for my Jeep projects in years past. Tomorrow I have an appointment to go and look at the 360 to see what is there. I just found out that the drums off of an old 7 1/4 were the same as my new 8 1/4. That saves some bucks...

I suppose I should start a new thread, but the big picture is I want my 73 duster to run in the high 13's next summer. I am a shop teacher and I have been looking at options to get there. I have found several big blocks, looked at an install or two this weekend and I don't think I want to...

Sounds like it may not be the best foundation for a build. I didn't really think that they would boost the compression to make things work but I thought I would ask. I'm still looking at combos....and what parts I already have. Thanks, ROB

I have a 79 318 with a thermoquad in a Volare. There is no question that the combination is factory. I have read that these cars used 360 heads, like the 596 or something. Did the factory do anything with the compression or is it just real low? Thanks, ROB

So I guess the question that is this, is a magnum head a magnum head? I know there are the RT ones, but what about the differences between 318 and 360 heads? Thanks, ROB

I have been out shopping for parts and I came accross a couple of engines. The first is a 94 318 and the second is a 96 360. I don't believe that either is anything special. Just run of the mill engines. Can anyone tell me what casting numbers the heads are likely, and what if any...

The problem that I have is that I have been collecting small-block stuff for about 7 years. Nothing spectacular, but I am resourceful and I part out trucks on occasion. This has left me with an early 360, 302 heads for a 318 build, an aftermarket intake, and a complete factory 318 4-barrel...

You must be the purple Cuda guy. My kids and I love that video, although their favorite was "burnout steve" from Austrailia. It is a black Charger. Three years later my kids still ask me to show them the video. I think it was on MOPARTS. Not that we watch burnouts all day, but it helps...

That sounds like a good idea. I had a line on a 360 from one of my students and then it didn't come through. Not sure why, I will check. One of the other students has a low mileage 400 that he would like to send my way. Always good and bad being a shop teacher........ ROB

My off road trucks run a minimum of 38" tires because they are bigger and make life easier I don't see any reason why the car thing would not be the same........ Ideally I would like to see the car in the lower 13's and still be DD capable if needed. ROB

I like what I am hearing about the 360's. I know bigger is better but the thought of "tire-shredding torque" sounds good to me. I became converted to Mopar years ago from a friend of mine with a stock 74 E body. Tired 360, small RV grind and some 4.10's with small tires. It would smoke...

I have done way more with jeeps than Mopar cars and it is that confusing. Ford ignitions etc. Once you learn the basics though, it isn't too bad.

That is good to know. I actually removed it about 4 years ago when I was collecting parts and then sold it to one of my students dad's. He put it in a truck that I had sold them. The put a new carb and intake and then didn't drive it. They are convinced that it is a bad engine and are...

I have a pile of 318's. A couple are real good runners with decent vitals. Here is my question. Assumming similar set-ups in each engine, what is the performance increase by using the 360 vs. the 318? Is it the old 1hp per CID rule? Any one with a comparison who has ran both? Thanks...
