Had a similar problem with mine. Does yours have the two piece needles? The kit I bought came with both two piece and solid so I changed to the solid ones and solved the problem. Bruce

Any center sump car pan. Bruce

Sorry to see all the carnage, you better pull the pistons and check the undersides for cracks. Hard to believe the valves would hit with that big of a relief in the pistons. Hope they are ok.

If the head broke off the needle is probably seized, can you drill it out with a reverse bit and the drill in reverse? Maybe spray some penetrant in first.

Are the secondarys closing all the way? I had that problem with the same carb, those big bores only need to be open slightly to make it rev pretty high

As stated above you should have two for the alt, mine has a blue for the a/c compressor in that same loom. If you have two blue wires you can test for continuity to the pressure shut off on the dryer to see which one is the compressor wire.

There are several posts on this site go to search and put in 360 magnum swap.

Thanks for he info Joe Those Harlans IIRC are $700 without the shafts or hold downs, don't think I can afford those. The rest of my valve train is comp so maybe I should go with theirs for any warranty issues that may arise from the rest of the comp pieces. Just pray the ole 18 will hold up...

Comp cams claims 15-20 hp gain with their rollers. Do the alum hold up or is steel the way to go? There is a stainless set on e-bay reasonably priced but how does a guy get real world info on these products? Also is there any gain in buying the 1.6 ratio over 1.5?

thanks for all the input guys Dustertogo The motor is being built it's not in the car .030 over 360 flat top hyper pistons 9.5-1 comp 480 cam 231@50 stock heads MoparJ the rockers are not on the motor I'm real close to putting the motor together so checking all parts now I think the...

They look galled and it's all of them, now that I have a decent job I will be looking at replacing them with a roller setup. Do you have to buy different pushrods with the rollers?

Yea, stock 86 360 don't know how many miles.

How much play should the rockers have on the shaft. Mine will rock about 1/8" sideways on the shaft. Seems like to much to me. Bruce

What is the idle set at? May just need to speed it up. Could also be a dirty carb since you said you need to pump it to get it running. Will it rev up to say 3000 in park without dying?

autozone and other parts stores list the pickup it's called oil pump screen

Sparks are much easier to see in the dark.

Mancini has the oil pan package on sale under clearance, think it was $89 for pan pickup and dipstick.

You guys got me freaked out now, when I had a shop pull my pan and unclog the pickup the guy put a high volume pump in without asking me about it, and didn't replace the drive shaft. Didn't think about it at the time. No more high rpms for the 318. Bruce

Well on the happy side at least you don't have to sit down and think about what you can do on your time off, and just think of all the experience you will be getting, and all the posts you can do telling us what went wrong, are you getting happy yet?

I agree read the post by BJR Racing he tested both heads and not much gain for the money. Bruce

I have a cam from comp cams that has that lift and dur, I'll dig it out and check the #'s. Bruce

What grit sand should you use?:cheers::cheers:

Yea mine did the same thing, siliconed the bolts, no more oil.

Are the pump and pu tube the same 318-360 center sump? Wish this weather would make up it's mind 90 degrees today. Thanks and God Bless Bruce

I know what you mean, what was up with the engineers back then, ( lets put everything we need, starter,shift linkage, steering box as close to the motor as we can get it, brake cyl and booster,) on the left side of the motor and watch (or laugh at) those who try to work on them . Its like the...

My starter went out so I dug out the small high torque that was on the 360 when I bought it, hobe wan kanobe batman, that worn out 318 starts just by looking at the key. Those starters are really worth the money. Bruce

Also I believe the 408 is external balance so a different flexplate or torque converter will be needed. If it is a column shift don't forget to unhook the linkage, it will tilt the trans when you raise it and make alignment difficult.

The interchange book I have shows that casting as used on 70-71 340 sixpack and 72 340 and 360 Hope this helps. Bruce

Thanks Scamp I though maybe they were just wasn't sure. Bruce

Are magnum and pre-magnum center sump 360 oil pans interchangeable?
