    360 build. Is this good street build? Heads work?

    I wasn't there. I was out on the road when it was done. I'm thinking the carb needs adjusted yet

    360 build. Is this good street build? Heads work?

    Nope- no 245's lol. That's alot of great info here! Oh- I made a mistake. The pistons are below deck at .012. I'm going to have to print all that out so I can study what you have e better. Dumb question- what did you mean by SG? And I'm guessing you did the chalk on the tires to get the right...

    360 build. Is this good street build? Heads work?

    Just an 3/4" spreadbore to squarebore spacer. I don't remember if I have another spacer in there or not. I brought one to the dyno but I wasn't there when it ran and don't think it was used.

    360 build. Is this good street build? Heads work?

    I was thinking that also. I was thinking the 20-227-4 cam . Mine is 230/236- .488/.491. The 2274 cam is 231/237- .525/.525. So a little better lift. A guy on YouTube has almost the same stuff I do and he is at 420hp I think. Plus he has out of the box eddy heads. Since mine is all new- I will do...

    Is this a decent intake manifold?

    looks like the same intake off my 1978 360 I took out of a Cordoba.

    How do I check port alignment between intake and heads

    did this math the other day. Basically whatever you mill off the heads- take 70% of that to each side of the intake.

    Loosened Distributor hold down bolt, car won't turn over...

    If you have the seatbelt interlock-one year for that-1974- that may cause the problem. Make sure the transmission didn't somehow get bumped out of neutral. Then last may be the starter relay. Unless the battery is dead. That's all I can think of. Seat belt interlock is about the size or slightly...

    edelbrock carburetor flooding like crazy....

    Do what Johnnydart said. I have an eddy 600cfm and had the same problem. It was a piece of unseen dirt somewhere. I redid the floats several times and cleaned the needle valves several times. No luck. Took off top of carb and took out jets and mixture screws. Blew air into all holes. Put back...

    I have that same book. And also have Mopar chassis-Carroll Shelby's speed secrets for a,b,e,f,and j body. Chrysler corp part # P4349341. Has suspension mods, trans build ups, and drivetrain tips. It also has a section of what engine to use and what parts to buy to get into a certain time bracket...

    Sos valve seal help fast

    do you have metal spring seats or do the springs ride on the shims or aluminum parts? They are supposed to ride on the metal spring seats. Sounds like your heads are getting pounded where the springs sit on the head. I heard eddys are known for this mistake.

    2000 360 engine- put in car or truck? What is needed?

    I just bought a wrecked 2000 Durango with a 360 in it. I am looking at several options and not sure what to do or how to do them. I am thinking that I want to put it in either my 74 Duster or my 98 Dakota. My duster has a 360 in it now but it has 200K miles on it. Doesn't burn oil or smoke but...

    Power brakes vs intake manifold 72 Demon

    Not quite sure what you are asking, so dont smack me lol. Heater hoses hook to the top of water pump and to the front top of engine- on manifold. Manifold gasket is cheap and can get at advance auto, etc. Cam you just bought sounds alot better than the one you had already. Brakes prob suck...

    How much horsepower is your small block putting out?

    Doogie- let me know what you end up with, both in hp and in parts used. I HAVE to do a rebuild on my internally stock 200,000 mile 1978 360. My cam blew its tires and is now running a little flat- popping up through the carb. Outside of engine, I have a factory 340 intake, 600 eddy, and...

    360 rebuild-low budget good power recommendations

    Have some real nice decent combos here. Im wanting to keep the stock or lower rpm torque converter. think I will go with the crane cam 272 H10 or next one- the H-272-2. Then 9.0-1 pistons-try for forged for the nitrous shot set up in future. Cylinders bored out to .030- .045. Would a stock...

    360 rebuild-low budget good power recommendations

    I am planning on rebuilding my 1978 360 motor in the spring. Looking for a good setup now so I can start buying parts. I had a decent 360 that my dad built 20 years ago. The one I have now is stock. The one my dad built was bored 30 over, had 8.8 piston-stock was 8.4 cr, original steel 340 4...

    timing issues

    I am watching this thread because I have a stock 1979 360 that HAD a/c and a 2 barrel from a 79 cordoba. It is now still stock but with a/c deleted and now a 340 intake with a 600 cfm edelbrock and headers. Without vac advance, its a dog off the line, with vac advance hooked up-no changes in...

    Oil filter doesn't fit

    66dartman is right. I have mine facing to there the filter in by tranny. It wont be at the 9-oclock position, it will be at the 7-8 o'clock position. I have mine that way with headers and its the only way a filter will fit with headers is with the 90 degree adapter-trust us. keep adapter bolt...

    header glowing?

    maybe a mouse found his way in and is wearing a fire retardant suit and blocking that hole? Sounds like a blockage problem or for some really weird reason- its firing late in that cylinder?? Maybe the header is just "thin" there? Is it right next to another exhaust-like one of the middle set...

    have to close choke plate?? to keep car running-why??

    Thanks everyone! Im going to try the vacuum leak stuff first. Im leaning towards the jets or something having dirt or bad gas. I may pull the top off the carb and see whats going on. It did sit for about 6 months or so. I looked at it some last night and looks like the right side has some white...

    have to close choke plate?? to keep car running-why??

    I wasnt sure where to post this or how to search for this as I am being vague today lol. Anyway- I have a 360 in a 74 duster. Just put the engine in recently-from a 79 cordoba. Both engine and trans together. I cant figure out why I have to completely close the carb choke plate to get it to run...
