Ok. Until today I ***-U-MEd :oops: there were two rear pan/cap sizes. Had the pan all cleaned up for the 360 beater motor and sticky stuff in place. Surprise! There's 1/2" between the seal and the cap?! THIS pan fits the 318 three feet away that's the next project? Are there 3 different...

I was scrounging around the garage yesterday and found another set of 318 rods. They are the older ones with bushings. The beam is smaller than the newer press fit rods. The question is: use the newer heavy ones or the lighter bushed ones? Less mass is good but strength factor is important too...

Any opinions? 318 .040 over with cast pistons. Mostly street with as much loud pedal as the law will allow:) Won't be a daily driver. Maybe a couple K a year. 6500 redline? or when it noses over.

Seems a clumsy uncoordinated dummy let the carbide burr slide across an exhaust seat:( It probably needs new valves anyway. Does anyone have a source for oversized valves? I can find .017 oversized but a teeny bit more would be nice. By the way, it's a 360 head(s) with .375 stems. Thanks guys.

I have been searching the old posts for info on the Torker 2 340. Seems some of you have unkind of things to say about it. Is there an upside to owning/using one? I have one and am considering using it. It will be on a 318 with 360 1.88 heads with some "home improvements". Comp around 9.5...

Been following the posts for quite a while. I haven't (or don't remember) seeing anyone having discussed/tried magnum valves in an LA head. If the guides have to be replaced anyway why not go for lighter parts? Would the length be the same? The valve springs might present a problem. If the...

I'm thinking of using 360 heads on a 318 build. Without decking or milling the heads what would be a realistic compression ratio? The original pistons are 0.104 down in the block. Heads are stock size with a valve grind done. Pistons have dish and valve notches. My abilities to measure...

Pulled a stock 360 apart yesterday. After getting all the pistons out I thought now would be a good time to check the deck height. Pulled the rings for easy reinstallation. Snugged the bearings back up. Dirty bathwater Batman!!! It was between .095/.100. Wasn't interested in closer measurment...

I know someone has done this. Has anyone done it with stock pistons? Doing the math(sideways) it looks like it would have about 10.7 CR with open chamber heads. Does that sound even close? Someone posted recently that they were going to try it for giggles. Just wondering if any success has been...

Has anyone tried 187 & 188 exhaust manifolds on a small block 68/75 model? They look close on the steering shaft but not so good with power steering. Holding them over the fender of a complete 318 setup that is.

Just picked up a 360. Has a Q-jet and twin snorkel air cleaner. Was told it was from an 85 Ram. Can anyone tell by the block #'s? 5K 360 8734 1 168082 135 9 Thanks.

Will a C body 360 oil pan clear in an A body?

I've read the stories about poking through the pushrod hole trying to get the port as big and straight as possible. Some didn't have happy endings. I've been playing with some 302's and noticed how pinched up they are around the pushrod hole. Not wanting to strike oil I thought of several ways...

I know heads and cams have flogged to death lately. I would just like to know if anyone has an opinion on a H 278 2 cam. I'm guessing it is a Crane. It will be in a 318/302 motor. It was run maybe 30 minutes and free. Just looking for a mild/moderate street motor. Auto, maybe 3.55 or 4.10 gears...

I know someone out there has a spec and part # template for their engine builds. I found a very good reference for disassembly and assembly but it was a little short on the parts list. http://emp.byui.edu/SPRATLINGT/Automotive%20Engine%20Rebuilding%20GuideAuto%20250Revised%2012.pdf I hope...

I just reread an article in Mopar Muscle/July 06 about Mopar heads. It rated the various heads as to power output. It said that the swirl port head(302-308 casting) would make more power than the X or J heads!? Following that would be the 92 and up Magnun head. Of course the aftermarket heads...
