The driver side was backward.

I was wondering if the springs are too tall for the cam, but like I said it's all buttoned up now. I installed the oil slinger and the engine turns freely.

So, I picked up a 76 LA 360 long block off Craigslist a couple years ago from a rolled Powerwagon. Low miles on a rebuilt motor, 20k or so and stored inside since pulled. $140 That said, I needed a core anyway so I got it home and on the stand and started looking it over. The oil pan was only...

Dad modified the driver side manifold on his 71 Dart . First he cut away the area that hits the power steering an angle cut about the size of a cigarette pack side view with a cutting wheel. Next he flipped the removed piece over and fit it back in place. Next heat it to red and arc weld it...

Just a thought, I installed an Edelbrock Torker on my '70 340 and it leaked terribly. After a few months of screwing with it I installed a 71 dual plane with some mild porting, gasket matching, cut away the 4 hole inlet to 2 slots, etc. It sealed perfectly and ran like a champ. There is a lot to...

I can't find anything aftermarket. This is making me crazy. Just stupid sh*t. Cheaper to scrap this block and find another one.

They are right on, but I need all 5.

Line bore. Already prepared to do one, Not bothering to hit the machine shop until I have main caps. Stay tuned.

The bolt holes should be 3.7" center. Building a '72 block hoping for a successfull build.

Just a shot in the dark but I'm in the market for a set of 360 main caps and bolts. Thanks.

Had the same problem on my 340. Had to adjust the timing so far forward that the vacuum advance hit the manifold. I pulled the distributor and backed off the oil pump shaft 1 tooth. I then moved the plug wires to the new locations. Worked for me.

First set your balancer to TDC then Back your cam- oil pump shaft back a couple notches with a big flathead screwdriver and reset you plug wires on the new rotation worked for me.

#4323345 1985 318 police interceptor. Has a swirl port design with a high volume combustion chamber. Run with flat top pistons, no valve reliefs, and machined for roller lifters from the factory. I knew '85 was a good year for something. :glasses7:

I changed the oil and filter and was pleasantly suprised to see the pressure was back to normal. I will pass on that additive next time. Thanks guys for the input, you ROCK!!! :burnout:

Cam berings are replaced, I did notice a threaded hole in the distributor hole when I pulled the dist. is this what you are talking about????

Possible, i used an additive for breakin by comp cams, a graphite based additive could do this? Plugs are all in no severe oil leaks, just a little here and there at the timing cover.

This is a wierd one. New motor, .030 360, no exterior oil leakage, starts up and goes to 80+ psi. Begins to warm up and drops to around 60. At idle drops again to around 30 increased RPM does not affect the drop in pressure. Pressure increases and decreases at random and soon drops below 10 psi...

Boy you got that one right, I scrapped out my 273 after the 340 went in the 65 barracuda and the very first thing to go was the crank. This guy was just peeing a ring around himself to get it for $80. He just washed it up and dropped it in his 318 happy as pie.

Same crank as the 318. The only real thing to look for is if it is cast or forged steel. Pop one of the lobes with a small wrench and listen to the ring. Low its cast high its steel. If it is in good shape it is worth a hundred bucks, if not maybe fifty. Turning it will cost around eighty or...

I use some big washers and lug nuts as spacers if the bolts are too long.

I here you man I had a Edelbrock torker 340 on a 340 and had nothing but problems, changed back to a stock 340 cast intake and my life was so much better. Now I have a Edel. Performer on my new 360 and I'm back to the same ol same ol. I guess I should have learned the first time.

The cam would be specd at the factory to the 2 bbl setup. Increasing the fuel supply would do little in the way of performance if the valvetrain is unable to keep up with the airflow thru the motor. I have seen 2bbl setups run better without any mockup, for both performance and economy. A...

In other words dont even bother with it. BTW I meant a higher lift and shorter duration cam, duh. ](*,)

I know it sounds like alot of trouble, but without upgrading the camshaft it will not perform like you want it to. On a scale of 1 to 10 you may get a mushy 4. Remember longer duration and higher lift is what gives you better compression and power. New lifters and timing set will give you a...

That being said, I need them out of the garage so I figured I would do a valve job on them put in some new oil seals and clean up the bowls and ports. I'm sure some local OEM Nazi will want them, go figure.

I have a pair of 65 273 heads leftover from an engine swap. Would it be worth it to recondition these heads of just off them as is? They are closed chamber with the small valves, but look like they would breathe better than the J heads if I change the valves. Any advice?

This is the second new battery with the same problem. I'll change the regulator first and go from there. Thanks.

76 Aspen R/T 360 elect ign. Stock setup.

The VR is in the alternator correct?
