At the risk of opening a can of worms I have a question for you engine gurus. I'm installing cam bearings. I have 1 with the oil hole just a little off center. Can I push it through and try again or is the bearing toast and get a new one?

I have 2 360 magnum motors that I purchased used. Both have over 100k on them. Both were exceptionally clean inside. No sludge, cylinder wear at a minimum, etc. When I went to change the camshaft, Both had weird wear and damage on the #4 cam bearing " see pics" No damage found on either...

I came across a place just outside Grand Rapids Mi called Accurate engines. They will reman a 360 for $1900, LA or magnum with a 100k warranty. Turn around time is 5 days. Of course that is with me dropping my motor off and picking it up myself. no shipping. Has anyone ever used these guys or...

Alright, My 360 La motor needed new valve seals. I happen to have all the components to switch over to magnum heads including a set of heads. I figure, Why not? I made a hybrid for my 67 Dart years ago and it runs well. I'll do the same for the old D100. So I tear the motor down. Scrape the...

I need some assistance finding a Hydraulic roller camshaft for a 360 magnum motor I am putting together. I'm using a stock bottom end, airgap intake, 650 edelbrock carb, mechanical fuel pump, headers, 2.94 rear gear. I had my eye set on the Hughes HUG SER1418ALN-10. I have the same cam in one of...

Hey everyone, I have a 360 magnum out of a 1998 Ram that I want to check out before freshening up. Can anyone tell me the rod journal and main journal specs of a stock crankshaft? Thanks in advance.

I've have an LA 318 that I set up to use magnum heads on years ago. I'm going to replace the heads with Indy X heads. Question is, Do I buy the LA-X heads and go back to LA rocker arm shafts or the MAG-X heads and continue using the magnum rocker arm setup I have now? It's just a mild 318 going...

Hey Everyone, I completed a magnum head swap on an LA block last year and I needed pushrods. Mopar performance used to sell a set of 16 pushrods for the swap that were 7.625" long and have since been discontinued. I ended up getting a set of Manton pushrods from a member here at a good price. I...

I've got a 318 roller motor out of a 1989 diplomat that has the 302 casting heads. I was thinking of swapping to magnum heads. Has anyone done this? Wondering about pushrod length since they both have roller cam setups.Thanks

Pulling the slant six and putting in a 318 and 904 trans. Is there a steel plate that goes between the block and the trans on a small block or is it just an inspection plate? I don't see a plate on the slant six. Maybe I am just thinking about early Ford days before I was converted .

I finally completed my magnum heads on La block swap this week. I picked up a set of low mileage stock magnum heads from a member ( Thanks Glen!) and a set of 7.625" pushrods from another member (Thanks Louis!), new oil through lifters (Summit) and used an M1 single plane intake (Ebay). I used...

I have read a few articles that talk about adding a small dab of silicone around the water ports before installing head gaskets. Does anyone do this? I've always thought that the newer gaskets just go on dry. Does anyone use any other type of spray or sealant to help the head gaskets seal? It...

I did a leak down test on my dart today and it appears I have some leakage in some of my exhaust valves so I guess its time for a set of heads. I would like to install a set of magnum heads on my LA block. Can anyone who has done this setup recommend or tell me which pushrods they used? I read...

Will an LA 360 flywheel work on a 360 Magnum short block? I know both are externally balanced. Upgrading my short block. Thanks

I currently have a stock 1989 318 roller motor in my 66 Barracuda. I am using an edelbrock intake manifold and 600 carb. I have duel exhaust but am using the stock 273 manifolds. I just came across a low mileage 360 magnum motor from a 1995 van. I haven't been able to find exact specs on the 318...

Well Guys& Gals. After reading about the new road race pan that Autoxcuda helped Milodon with for our A bodies if figured that I just had to have one. I have run into several snags with the installation that I thought I would share with everyone. I was started to do an extensive writeup but...

Is anyone running an oil accumulator on their ride? If so I am looking for pics and parts used. thanks everyone.

I've got a 66 cuda with a 318 roller camshaft motor. I was looking for a slightly higher performance camshaft to replace the stock camshaft but the only ones I keep finding are the flat tappet camshafts. Can anyone recommend a camshaft or is the factory one ok for mild street use. Being that I...

What is the proper timing for a 318 roller motor out od a 1989 dodge?

Whats the most common way to plug the air injection ports on the smog 318 heads? I saw a thread on here once that listed sizes of plugs and such but cant seem to locate it. Thanks

Is there any advantage to running a 2" spacer on a regular edelbrock performer intake? Will it help it flow similar to a Weiand Stealth or an LD4b? Going on a mild 318. I already have the performer as I upgraded to the LD340 on my 67 Dart with a built 360. Trying not to waste my money if you...

I am putting a mildly built 318 in the wife's 72 dart. I want to run stock manifolds. Does anyone know which stock manifolds will work and that perform the best? Thanks
