Hi, I got a bad motor in my Durango and need some magnum advice. From what I'm seeing eq heads are hard to get. What are the current budget offerings? This won't be a high performance build, just as much as I can get out of a 318 with the factory 98 computer. What are some budget minded...

I'm thinking about putting together this engine: I have these parts: 360 unopened engine out of a 79 truck. Unknown miles. Some zollner/badger p290 +.020 pistons. Dont know any specs on these other than I think they are flat top with reliefs but I'm not sure. They are at the shop right now...

Ok, im getting parts for a budget rering smogger 360 with stock heads. Of course compression is low. I do have headers, hi rise dual plane, comp xe262 cam. I am strongly considering Rhodes superlube original lifters. I need to get a timing chain. What I want to know is, if I should look...

I recall reading a thread somewhere about hyd. FT lifters failing these days. Specifically from Comp. What's the deal on this? I have a comp xe262h cam I'm gonna be using soon and need to get new lifters. Going in a 78 360 block. I had planned on using Hughes 1110 springs and was gonna get...

Iirc there used to be a cheap, adjustable rocker for the la shaft mount rockers. Like a summit brand or something. I'm looking for something along the lines of the old 273 rockers. Cast iron non roller is ok. I want to say I remember something from summits house brand or something of that...

I'm not looking for exact numbers, just a general idea. This is low buck stuff here. I already have a few sets of magnum heads. And an intake. I'm not bringing the heads to the machine shop, or the short block. I'm taking a free short block and bolting free magnum heads on it. I have...

I am wanting to get a set of the Indy MAX, Magnum type heads with hydraulic roller beehive springs from Brian at IMM. The special he advertises. I want them because they seem to be a good deal and they can support upgrades in the future. But with all the other stuff going on I really cant...

I seem to have magnum heads coming out my ears, and I wanted to mess around with cutting spring pockets and valve seal location. I have been looking at a few different things, and for the costs it seems that its something I would want to try. What is the best spring seat OD to start off...

MY build is a standard ole 318 magnum build. Eq heads, weiand action plus, carter 625, under 230 at .050 hyd roller. BUT, I have a forged crank and some scat I beam rods. But all the stuff that would make a good strong street 318. Nothing crazy. I am thinking about building a "stocker...

Right now I am planning my budget EQ head project. I have been looking over and over at Mopar Actions dirt cheap 360 build and thinking about some of the ideas they used on the heads. Ehrenberg used circle track springs Comps P/N 26975 springs which had a .920 ID. The EQ supplied heads...

Could this crank be bent from storing in this corner for three years?

After searching with no luck, Will a Magnum timing cover work on an LA318 (roller cam TBI motor) with a LA318 center sump oil pan? That would allow the magnum serpentine setup. I can find all the info in the world for everything else, but not for putting a magnum front end on an LA...

Who is the "official" importer of the EQ heads. Or the RHS heads, OR THE DANG IRON, FLOW BETTER THAN MAGNUMS, CAN BE HAD WITH LA OR MAGNUM INTAKE BOLT SETUP, CAN USE STOCK MAGNUM VALVES, THE BANG FOR THE BUCK, 300 DOLLAR A PIECE BARE, heads? :D I am confused as to exactly who and where they...

Would the IMM heads and an RPM airgap be too much in a dart sport with 323 gears? Want a good streetable car. Was just thinking that after getting factory heads rebuilt I could just up the coin for the IMM heads. I would use stock heads if they didnt need any serious money dumped into them...

Does anybody know how much clearance Probe puts into its SRS pistons. Specifically part number 12351? I measured my bores in my block with a dial bore gauge, and came out with 4.0442 on the top of the thrust side of cyl 6 and 4.0438 at the same place on Cyl 8. All the other cylinders are...

Is it feasible to run a hot enough cam to bleed off some compression while still being able to use 3.23 gears? If not, what is the highest (numericaly lower) gear I can consider? I am trying ensure that I will be able to run 92 octane on 10.5 compression with iron magnum heads and .040 of...

OK, I did some searching but I need a little specifics. I have a 2-6" Starret outside mic. All I can get access to at this point is some cheap telescopic gauges from harbor freight to get the inside measurments of the bores. Will these two tools be reliable enough to make an hone or...

I got a 5.9 Magnum that I want to put new rod and main bearings, along with rings, oil pump and timing chain. I just want to freshen up the engine before I install it. The cam and heads are stock, but the pistons are .040 over sealed power pistons, and the rod journals are .010 under. I got the...

I got a magnum 5.9 out of the junkyard. Tore it down and found it had been rebuilt. It has Sealed Power 405P +.040 pistons in it. I plan on putting new rod and main bearings, along with moly rings on the pistons. I can still see the crosshatch in the bores, so I am hoping that everything...

I just tore down a 318 with a cast crank and found a spun rod bearing. Crank wiped out. I got a forged crank that can replace it with , but I am not exactly sure what it came out of. I know its not a 318-3 truck crank. With the stock rods and pistons, will I have to re-balance the assembly...

I had asked awhile back about a cam grind to have my factory roller cam reground for my super budget rebuild. Here are the parameters of the car that I can tell about. It will be a street car. No passes down the track with this engine. I am wanting to get the rest of the car in nice shape...

I am doing a budget build on a 318. 74 dart sport (You know, a politically correct Demon), aprox. 2500-2800 stall converter. Roller LA 318. 904 with 999 gears. Dual plane intake with 600 holley vac. sec. 302 casting heads. 3.23 rear gears in an 8.25. Gonna start out with stock valves in...

Three or four years ago beehive springs were all the rage. I know they are more of a chebby thing, but I dont even see them much in other, lesser mags. I havent been able to follow the engine building scene as much as I would like and sorta missed the whole beehive spring thing right after...

I am strongly considering the program main caps for a 340 block to increase the power handeling. Say I use a factory fordged 340 crank, H beam rods, Premium Fordged pistons max at .30 over, and the Program caps with all the proper machine work done. What would the basic power handling and RPM...

Something different, What color do you like to paint your blocks? I think my next ones gonna be black. Also what paints? I usually use high heat from the parts house, one shot thats it. But I have seen some of those nice paint jobs that probably used the hi tech setups and they do look...

I scored this for 150 shipped. This is the crank I though was a eight bolt flange, but its a six with I guess some balancing hole or flexplate lineup hole. It has 15435 stamped on the front most counter weight, on the surface that would be closest to, up against the front of the block...

I dont know exactly where to post this, so I figured since its small block powered and I do have a cam question I would post it hear. The plan on the drivetrain is this, since I have collected 90% of the parts over the years. 74 Dart Sport Pre Magnum bone stock roller cam 318 with 302 heads...

I got a pre magnum roller cam 318, If I swap to magnum heads with pushrod oiling will I have to swap out lifters? If I do, will magnum lifters drop right in?

So what are they going for now? I saw one in the marketplace for 1000, already machined. Is that average? Also, what about Mopar blocks? A couple of years off from now, but I always wanted a 340 (no stroker stuff, just a 340 stroke). I may be better going with an R3 block. Are they still...
