those #s are pretty good... just about how my 318s were... i would pull it, make sure the wireing is good while the motors out, redo the gaskets, timing chain, oil pump and bearings. if the rest looks good slam it back together and in and go have fun...

go to www.engine-swaps.com . there you can find the conversion mounts and pretty much anything else you will need. as far as parts go... engine, trans, conversion mounts OR V8 Kframe, motor mounts (if you go K frame route), exhaust y pipe or dual exhaust, radiator, upper and lowr hoses...

i have always just used what the factory used..... it works decent for what i need it for anyways...

just be glad ya caught it now and not goin 130MPH down the track and have a rod decide to leave the block.... that would suck...

i am not runnin the Air-Gap but i am runnin a performer with stock covers no problem. i dont see why they wont work.

when i ran one on my 173k 318 in my 71 dart i was pullin 135-150 on all. and mine smokes at times! so if yours has been kept up it should be around there... mine hasn't been..... i have not been nice to my 71...:burnout:

i have to do the oilchange on the 87 SOON.... i am only 2k OVER the 3000 mile mark. i have 5 qts of 15w50 Mobil1 full synth and a bottle of lucas, and a mopar filter sittin in the back... thats where it has been sitting for the last MONTH... so dont feel bad.... I WANT MY 360 TO LOOK LIKE...

check the swap meets and also try these guys. they may have one like what you need. i just stopped by these guys after running all over hells half acre trying to find a timing cover for my PW... you'd think with it being a 360 EVERYONE would have at least one either in stock or can order...

i have always done the manifold bolts in the corners. thats how i pulled the 360 outta my truck.

you should see what i still have to deal with........ you'd be happy that yours is in decent shape..

i agree with him! also i would tear down the top end and redo the gaskets. valve seals, intake, exhaust, valve covers..... it'll run if you dont do it but if you want to do it right thats what i would do. i have to go through this with my scamp but its only been sittin 8 yrs.... not 18.. plus...

well with me, my wife is a car nut as much as i am so its easy to get things when they are needed. when we have the $$ that is..... and your car will never be done. they never are. theres always something that breaks, or needs work or you think of something cool to put in.... its never done.......

thats what i am thinking i will need to do... problem is $$..... i dont have a lot of it. so this is turning into a VERY long term project.... and i need the truck sometime this summer but oh well... i have one running truck so that will have to do. thanx guys. your more informative than the...

not a clue. it was in there when i got it 2 years ago. plus its been replaced once already. #s dont match

the rod and main bearings in my 360 for my PW are pretty much trashed. they seem to be warn down to copper, or whatever it is they are made out of. this cant be good right?? what could this problem be???? if you need pics i can have them but it might take till this weekend to get em. also...

well points are not an issue anymore on this car... they ahve been eliminated with the install of the electronics. yes it is a vac advance on the distributor and yes it is hooked up. i am not sure which port its on as i did not do the setup on it. and yes i did time it with the vac...

thats what i thought as well.... but i have been told through various people that the ballast cuts it down. but how far down????

i would run one of the newer starters. i have one in my ram and it turns a 488 no problem. the new "mini" starters are a higher torque than the stock style ones from what i have heard.

i forgot to mention i have changed the dist for the stock one out of my 73 dart parts car. i still have the MP dist but even stilll it pings when adv.\ret. at all....

well i went down and checked the ballancer.... its right on the money. but ia m beginning to think that maybe the chain has streched in the last couple of years.... has this happened to anyone that doesn't drive the car much????? well i also took it out for a short run so it was running for...

i dont knwo what the shop did when they put the chain in.... the car wasn't mine when they did that. as for ballancer i will check that hopefully tomorrow

looks great.... cant wait till my 360 looks that nice!

his is like the one on my power wagon.... there is no 90* adapter. the filter spins directly on the block. the only thing there is the male\male thread adapter. for that i dont know if there is a seal there or not. i was wondering if there was or not under that plate. i can take a pic if nessessary

well checked the compression and found a few things that struck me as odd.... most had good compression.... but there were a few that were lower.... heres the compression for all cyls... #1: 147 #2: 135 #3: 123 #4: 150 #5: 145 #6: 140 #7: 125 #8: 145 no i am no expert by any means...

i'd like to know how to take that off as well.... i know there is a gasket kit from the dealer that can be gotten because i have one somewhere that i got with my 71 dart. if i can find it i will post the part number.

will do.... as well as check compression.... gonna have to work on it some tomorrow...

so... maybe time for a balancer???? i have one off my 73 dart that i could use for now to see if thats the problem..... who knows it might just be:D

nice!!!! now i gotta see if mine will look that nice when it comes out of the shop.... once i find one that is!!!!

its never been hard to start. thats why this is so strange. starts beautifully untill the caps come off then it runs like crap. i have never heard a backfire outof this beast but that doesn't mean anything... timing is set to 0* and if it is advanced or retarded at all it pings BIGTIME!!!!! ther...

sorry... no backfires that i could hear. as for compression:banghead: i should have thought bout that..... will check tomorrow if the weather is ok.... (might have to move frige in sho.......:shock:nm......) talking to my self i guess.... and yes the crankcase vent system is hooked up and...
