    Edelbrock intake Temp sensor

    I have the magnum airgap rpm and it takes the small water temp sensor. I believe it is 1/8" ntp. All the sensors that come in the kits are the larger ones. Anyone have a part number for a sensor that will work? I would like to stick with a readily available one or an oem instead of ordering it...

    magnum cam extension from hughes?

    I am getting ready to assemble my 360 and I need to make a choice about fuel delivery. I was running a carter high volume mechanical pump previously and the new cam has the short snout so I would have to run an electric pump. Hughes sells a snout extender to run a mechanical pump but I am...

    Priming question

    How is this done? Do you pull out the distributor gear and make or buy a shaft to drive the oil pump or do you leave the gear in and drive the entire assembly? Thanks.

    Scat connecting rod question

    Getting ready to put my 360 together and never thought about rod orientation. Do the Scat rods have a front and back? Not sure if I worded that right. I just want to make sure they go in the right way. I did notice they all have a raised dimple on the rod portion. Any help appreciated.

    Installing rings in block for fitment

    What tool will allow you to install just the rings in the block to file fit them? I know I need to square them up too. Is it ok to slide the rings in the bore dry? Does it need to be oiled first? Sorry for all the questions, I don't want to scratch up the bores.

    360 machine shop issues

    Just picked up my roller 360 from a "recommended" shop. I didn't look it over real well until I got it home. I found what looks like some pitting that was not removed. I can feel it with my finger nail. What now? Would it be ok to use on no chance.

    Need help with engine ID

    I picked up a roller 360 and the numbers stamped in the block are 53006921360. Is this a 92 block? Also an interesting fact is that it has a la timing cover with the mechanical fuel pump housing blocked off. I'm thinking previous owner blocked it off because the cam has no place for the...

    I finally tore into my 360 that started making a bottom end noise. I pulled the pan and rocked the crank back and forth with the balancer bolt. I can see and feel play in the connecting rod bearings. I pulled one and it has a little gouging but nothing too severe. I had swapped out the pistons...

    magnum valve springs?

    Does anyone know if there are heavier valve springs for the magnum heads that don't require changing the clips and retainers? I'm thinking the magnum head valve springs are pretty weak to stand up to a non-roller la bottom end. Since almost all magnums are roller I think they went with a lighter...

    timing issues

    I decided to start looking at some of reasons I had such a slow day at the track and Timing was first. I had been running about 6-10 BTD and moved it to 15 just to see how it responded.
