So, I picked up a 76 LA 360 long block off Craigslist a couple years ago from a rolled Powerwagon. Low miles on a rebuilt motor, 20k or so and stored inside since pulled. $140 That said, I needed a core anyway so I got it home and on the stand and started looking it over. The oil pan was only...

This is a wierd one. New motor, .030 360, no exterior oil leakage, starts up and goes to 80+ psi. Begins to warm up and drops to around 60. At idle drops again to around 30 increased RPM does not affect the drop in pressure. Pressure increases and decreases at random and soon drops below 10 psi...

I have a pair of 65 273 heads leftover from an engine swap. Would it be worth it to recondition these heads of just off them as is? They are closed chamber with the small valves, but look like they would breathe better than the J heads if I change the valves. Any advice?

Does anybody know what causes this and what to do to stop it? My engine compartment looks like hell and I have never had this problem before. New battery and new alternator, what gives???

I knocked a piston skirt tab off my 360 (don't ask me how) Will this affect the balance of my rotating assembly? ( I'm thinking yep) I was trying to get by cheap on just a top end. The lip on the block is around .015 or so. the only other pistons I have are .060. Machining is $300 give or take...

I keep going back and fourth with the timing on my 340. Points dist, valve lift 480, 287 dur. If I set it to the card specs I have run-on when I shut the engine off. If I retard it, it won't readily start and I have no punch out of the hole. Will one of you pros walk me through it please?

I am having some trouble with this. The 340 is hard to start when cold, and then idles high when it is warm. Then it seems to flood when it is hot. Think you guys can help me out?
