    Balancer tightening up to timing cover creating shavings.

    The title pretty much says it all. I have a newer build and recently pulled the timing cover and everything that goes along with that (balancer). I was verifying that the cam thrust plate bolts were in place due to oil pressure problems... Now my problem is that once I started the 360 motor the...

The motor: 74 360 .40 10.5:1 J heads about 400 miles on fresh rebuild with 2 thousands bearing clearances (told by machinist, and I checked with plastigauge). Symptoms with...

    need help choosing 360 pistons and cam

    Hi there I have a 75 360 at the machine shop right now which is 20 over which the machinist is going to take to 40 over. He is going to line bore it and turn the crank and recondition the rods. He is completely redoing my j heads (I plan on using stock rocker arms) , and he will balance...

    Can someone give me advice on pistons?

    My block, heads, crank, and rods are all at the machine shop. The machinist needs pistons soon and he recommends forged probe pistons over forged Kieth black pistons. So I'm looking at 70 over probe pistons and here are some of the option differences that I don't know about: Compression...

    Sonic check on a '72 .060 360 motor thick or not? To be determined soon.

    Hi there I just dropped my .060 over 1972 360 block off at the machine shop for machine work if they determine it is capable of .070 over. I have read the myths of the legendary early thick wall motors, I will keep you posted on whether this one attacks or supports the theory. Was told I should...

    how much do machine shops typically cost?

    I have a 72 360 motor that runs great but now I have it out of the duster and I'm looking for more out of it. Not sure if I should just get my j heads redone and some mild cam. O if I should go to a machine shop and start on the bottom end. It all depends on how much it costs to get my block...

    please help me with a heads question

    I have X heads on my 360 motor and I'm guessing that it is running bad all of the sudden because a washer from my carb linkage is missing and I think it may have slipped down the EGR port in the head. I found the cotter pin right next to the EGR "hole", so I believe that the washer slipped down...

    360 is slow now, please advise.

    So all I know about this motor is: I pulled it from an RV about 4 years ago, and it has run great. Has J heads, headers, edel dual plane intake, new 600 cfm edel carb, and a new complete tune up. The car is still doggy and slow. The timing is correct because my friend who only drives and deals...
