Looks like I am buying back my first car after finding it. a factory E-58 1976 360 Duster. Fairly rare build as I can't find any info on 360 cars from that year. The main issue is the body is all done, interior i in great shape but the engine is out and apart. The previous owner had a...

Put an ATI rattler on over the winter, fits great no issues there. I knew it would make some noise but figured I could handle it.... Well it kinda annoys me. Street driven car that wll rarely see 6000rpm at the most. Internal balanced 340 with a forged crank maybe 350hp range. What would...

Checking the adjustment on my valves in the 340. It has a Hughes #HEH2328AL hydraulic cam with crane gold rockers. On the cam card it reads .000" Valve lash Hot On the Hughes website under the install directions it reads: "Hydraulic lifters should have approximately .040” to .080” lifter...

Here is my current combo, it's a street driven car and full bodied etc. I don;t want any steeper gears then I currently have. I'm looking for more power by tweaking my current combo. Contemplating cam changes and or Edelbrock heads but not sure if there are enough gains with the heads on a...

I am currently looking to source a Y fitting in male 1/8NPT with both Y's in female 1/8NPT. I've found a fitting but not sure If they will send me one. The reason for this is to be able to run the stock oilpressure guage in my Duster as well as a mechanical guage. Anyone have a line on such...

I just ordered the nice billet oil filter plate from Canton with the o-ring seal -No more leaks!- Does anyone have a part number or even know if the filter stud for vehicles that had the factory filter plate is available?

The intake I had on the 360 is going on the 340, its not very old I sprayed it with clear high-temp paint to seal it and keep it looking good but the fuel spills stained the laquer. Its not terrible but not going to get any better either. Not sure if it should go orange like the block...

Anyone try one of these? http://www.cantonracingproducts.com/adapters/SB_mopar_filter_adapter.html

I think my car has it out to get me... after all my en gine troubles I decided to build my 340 nice and mild 350hp street engine. The first very good chrysler experianced engine builder was priced so high I wont repeat the numbers. The second sent me a quote that he said he went high on...

So I've decided to start fresh with my 340. Its the original number smatching block with x heads. The engine will end up at .040 over the original forged crank may or may not be good anymore its .010 under already and bubba weleded the mallory weights on in his backyard badly so its to be...

Thinking a freshstart in the engine for my Duster might be in order. After a years worth of work and every case of bad luck I'm to the point where I wouldn't cry if it cratered tomorrow. My latest thoughts are to pull the 340 from storage and have it built and try again. But If I end up...

Will I notice a huge change/difference in a mild 360 from stock rocker shafts to racer brown rocker shafts?

As stated in my Desperation thread my engine finally ate the racer brown nylon rocker shaft bushing. I want to drive the car while I wait for new spacers and figure out why it ate it I'm going to run my stock rocker shafts , but can I run stock pushrods from my 340 in this engine with a...

With the money I've wasted and time spent I'm almost fed up with my cursed Duster. Starting with the mild original 340 and chaseing the bog down and decideing the motor was tired and having a 360 built for it and tossing a shiny new Demon at the problem and wholenew fuel system, ignition you...

Has anyone ever had a car tuned on the dyno? Just curious if it's worth it. Been having all sorts of issues with my small block and think its not making the power it should.

Ok heres the issue. I had my 360 built by a reputable place. I dont doubt anything is built wrong. Still need my spec sheet but thats another matter From the start the car had a lifter noise. BAD. I am running Johnson lifters, Smith pushrods and racer brown 1.5/1.6 rockers and a racer...

I put Schumacher magnum mounts in my duster when I put the engine in, I get a wicked shudder in the car with vibration starting at about 1500rpm comes and goes with rpm shifts etc... I swearched and cant find a thing rubbing anyone seen one of these moutns get stuck locked up?

Well the machine shop has advised me while it is rebuildable its not worth it. Look at a .40" over bore, the caps have been bounceing off the block... also needs a serious line bore as there are some huge variations in size of the caps. The crank is already .10' under and needs to be cut...

Wow nothing much looks salvageable for as good as it seemed to run. It had a fair amount of blow by. On what was supposed to be a recent rebuild. All the ebarings are horribly scored the piston skirts are scored and scratched theres almost 0 cross hatch in the bores either. It's .030' over...

Was looking through ebay and noticed the Professional Products Harmonic Balancers are cheap, seen their cataloh in the parts department at work. For the price they are sellign at it looked all good, just thought i'd be nice to have a balancer thats got 60deg of timeing marks on it. Are they a...
