    Let's Build a 416 with Cast Iron Heads and Manifolds

    As the title suggests, I'm going to build another stroker engine. I've already had a 500hp 408 in my Dart, but now I want to build something different for my Duster. I'll use this thread to discuss ideas and thoughts that people might have about the build. The car is a 340 "tribute" car so I'm...

    Help with 360 I.D.

    Hey everybody. I bought a running 360 last night for a couple hundred bucks and I'm trying to get some more info on it. The casting numbers are 4006830-360-5 which I know aren't much help, so I cleaned off the stamping pad and the only thing I see is what looks like a backwards J and the number...

    Broken Valve Spring - Which New One?

    My buddy broke a valve spring on his J headed 360. We don't know much about the engine. He was told it was a 380 hp 360 crate engine when he bought it, but we've since noticed that the heads are a different color than the block so we know they've been off. No idea what cam is in it, but it is...

    Anyone Ever Use a PRW Flexplate?!?

    I'm still gathering parts for my internally balanced 408 build and I need a neutral flexplate. I had planned on just buying a B&M 10230 flexplate from Summit for $95, but while shopping for some other parts I came across this PRW Platinum Xtreme Duty flexplate on Mancini's website. It's $35...

    Biscuit mounts thick vs. thin

    I was going through the parts pile I have and noticed that I have two different biscuit mounts. The thick one has a part # 2265 on it, and the thin one has # 2266. The thin ones came out of my car with the Schumaker mounts attached, the thick ones came with a set of 340/360 brackets that...

    SB Pulley Help Please

    I wasn't getting any help in my WANTED thread so I thought I would start another to try and find out what water pump pulley I need. Here is what I'm trying to clean up. The previous owner used a mis-mash of various pulleys and hardware store items to get everything to line up. I dug...

    Which intake to use on 408?

    We're getting to the portion of my 408 build where I need to decide what intake I'm going to run. I had originally planned on running the Air Gap that's on the car now. Unfortunately, that we would mean removing my car from service for the rest of the summer while we continue the build. I...

    Internal or External balance 408???

    My block is at the machine shop right now and I have a question about balancing the rotating assembly. I have a forged Scat crank, H beam rods and forged dish pistons. I spoke to my builder initially and he said that internally balancing was not necessary for my intended usage, which is a...

    OE Style Hydraulic Roller Lifter Question

    My 91 roller block LA 360 is at the machine shop right now. The block is cast for roller lifters, but I don't have the spider or bolts to hold it down. The engine will be a 408 and is being built for a Saturday night cruiser, not a race car. We are going to use a hydraulic roller camshaft from...

    Edelbrock Street Ram on a 408?!?

    I have a chance to buy a Edelbrock Street Ram intake. I've always wanted to run two four barrels and I'm getting ready to build a 408 and I was thinking that this would be the perfect time. I know typically tunnel rams are for high revving engines and don't work well down low in the rpm range...

    408 Build Thread

    Well, after talking about it for too long, it's finally time to start building my 408 stroker. I have been limping the worn out 340 in my Dart for the last seven years and it's time for it to be replaced. I am going to use this thread to document my build and will update it regularly like a...

    SB Timing Cover interchange???

    I have a 70 340 timing cover that I'm trying to sell, and the guy wanting it says that he needs a cover specific for a 360. I was aware of the 68 only, and 67 back timing covers, but I was unaware that there was a 360 only timing cover? Does this sound right?

    Advice needed on used crate engine...part II

    Last weekend I bought a used 300 hp 360 crate motor off of my local CL. This motor was bought as an interim engine to use for a year or two until I could build my dream stroker small block. The plans were to check it out, add a gasket set, timing set, paint it up and drive it. You can check...

    What do you think of this stroker combo?!?

    I found this on Craigslist last night and am waiting to hear back from the seller. He says it's internal balance but doesn't say whether it's a cast or forged crank. Also trying to figure out what KB piston he used so that I can figure compression. 1977 Dodge 360 smallblock bored .040"...

    Anyone decode a 340 block?!?

    I found a guy selling a 340 block and crank. I asked him some questions about them and this is what I got back from him... It is a block with a crank, it is rebuildable, as far as the crank, it is the original crank that came with the block when i bought it. No pistons, No cam shaft, just...

    360 block ID?!?

    I bought a 360 short block and would like to find out what year it is and possibly what it came out of originally. The casting numbers are 3418496-7-360. I decoded this to be a 71-74 block, but that is as far as I could get. There is no ring ridge, shows standard bore pistons, and spins...
