Play with the timing, after you confirm its not a 318. Engine size is cast right above the starter.

The weight on the balancer looks more like a LA 360.

I used a LA plate with no issues. I believe the plate I used was off a 74 318.

Mag and LA are the same

I just bought a LA roller cam for my swap, and a harmonic balancer with no pulleys for a mag. Used everything else LA, timing cover, fuel pump eccentric, water pump, oil pan, pulleys, and all the LA accessories, like alternator, and ps pump.

I left it, no need for it, even though it would have cost me $150. Just sold a built mag.

Just last weekend I bought the 8 lug axles out of a 90 dodge truck with a 360, auto. Power-train was intact, he used a couple body parts off it. I could have bough the whole truck for $600, but he did not have a title. A title is required to junk the truck in WV, so I just grabbed the axles and...

More like $400 from the scrapper

Scrap metal weight, that is were the money is. Sell a good part, get the same weight back. Anything sold is 100% profit, and you still have your scrap weight.

If you pull one from a wrecked vehicle, check for obvious damage caused by the collision. Broken engine mounts, or frame pushed into the crank pulley etc. Bought a 2.5 liter once out of a wreck for my wife's Daytona. The doner engine came from a car hit pretty hard on the drivers side. I had...

Not worth it unless you buy a parts truck with everything.

J&S Enterprises in Fairmont WV has never gave me a bad head, he is so good the local NAPA uses him for a rebuilder. He also sells on E bay.

I put a 5.9 mag in my old 1978 W150 in the place of the 318, the difference was very noticeable. I did put KB107 pistons and elebrock heads on it with a comp roller cam. It was strong.

Rusty, I have seen plenty of cast cranks that have pilot busing from the factory, it does not make sense the factory would make two cranks for the different trans. For the op it will be hit or miss on the engine you bought. I have a 72 340 in my duster, cast crank, it is drilled for a pilot...

For a flywheel look at Mcloed ones with the bolt on weight. For the clutch look at Ram muscle car series, it is easy engagement, and grips good.

I put KB 107's in my 5.9 mag, and mallory was needed and added to the crank.

318 or 360? If 360 mag Mcleod makes a flywheel that has a bolt on weight for a mag.

I know I have an annoying leak around the bottom radiator hose on my duster. I broke the engine in on my engine start stand, left it on their for 3 years before putting it in my Duster. No leaks. The only thing I did was was remove the water pump, drop it in the Duster, install new gasket and...

Seems like it is always something.

That make an adapter that goes in the top radiator hose. Jegs sells them.

I think the mount spacing has to do with spacing of the bores.

Put some washers in the space, no need to spend money.

Standard electronic distributor. Buy one for a 73 duster.

Pic of it going in.

The magnum I ended up using was only $200 when I bought it, but it came with the car pan and pickup. I bought it as a core. Tore it down, the cylinders looked excellent, the heads as usual each one was cracked, but the crank and bearings were rough. It needed turned, it came out of a 250 van...

What is the clutch size on the 1986? You will want to use one for the trans you are bolting the motor to. Most likely it is a 143 tooth flywheel with a 11” 23 spline clutch.

I used a mcleod flywheel that that takes a bolt on weight when I put the mag in my W150.

Not sure of the model number on mine at the moment. I think I still may have the box.

Is yours SFI rated?

My balancer did not have the step. Does yours look like this, sorry it was the only picture I could find.
