Hey All: Have a roller 360 with 308 heads on it. Auto parts store tried to give me the same one for an old-timey 340, but that doesn't work. They do not take the standard LA plug. It is way too big to go in the plug hole. Do they take the same plugs as Magnum heads? Any help appreciated...

Some of you may have seen my other thread where I got this Cloyes billet timing chain that had obviously been returned by someone else. Anyway, looked at the crank gear and noticed this: To me it just looks wrong. It seems like the distances between 6R and 8R and 6A and 8A should be the...

Well, now that Romac/ROllmaster has gone away, I'm without a good idea for a timing chain. My magnum seems to go through them pretty quickly. I'll spend money (though I'd rather not spend gear drive/timing belt money). Car sees a pretty significant number of track passes every year...

Hey All Saw that Edelbrock has these on their site now, but (at least for me) the pics don't work. Been occupied with other things over the winter. Has there been any new news? Thanks!

Hey: Was thinking of trying out a Thermoquad on my motor, just for grins. Currently have a Quickfuel 750 double pumper and an LA Eddy RPM Air gap. I was looking at a Holley strip dominator. Any other good choices out there? Thanks Steve

Hey All: Just to verify: Is the only difference between a stick and auto 340 crank the pilot bearing? You can throw a flexplate on a stick crank (after removing pilot) and run it with an auto, right? I was pretty sure already, just seeking confirmation, Thanks, Steve

Hello: I'm confused. Is a 71 340 orange or blue? If the block cast date is 6-71, is it a 71 or a 72 engine? Anyone have a pic of the correct air cleaner for a '71? Allpar says: "1970-71 engines were painted orange; they changed to blue in 1972-73, although some late 1971 engines ended up...

Hey All: Recently came by a really clean 273 4bbl intake from 1967. I got it because I thought it was pretty cool that it was a single plane factory intake. Never seen one of these before, are they worth anything?

Alright, check this out: My car has a 5.9 magnum in it with Iron Ram heads. Why does it have Iron Ram heads? Because both of the heads on this 86K mile motor were cracked between the seats. Solution, just plan on buying aftermarket heads if you're running a Magnum engine. OK, so then I've...

Hey All: Looking for a way to put a couple of shortblocks on wheels as I need my engine stand for other purposes. I've had back luck with engine cradles for small block mopar. the last one I ordered (allstar) isn't even close. The square tube holding the plates for the tranny dowels majorly...

Hey All: Saw this intake was drilled for dual pattern, but I'm new to the T-quad. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/manifolds/chrysler/victor-sb.shtml What other aftermarket intakes with take a T-quad? Thanks for any help! steve

Hey All: Is it true that the casting number for the 308 heads is not on the runner like other LA mopar heads, and you have to pull the head to see the part number? Thanks Steve

Hey All: Just agreed to buy a 71K mile 1991 360 out of a D250. What kind of compression would this thing have? I understand its possible that it will have the '308' heads and be hydraulic roller. Any other pitfalls? Think it would make half decent horsepower with a cam, intake manifold and...

Hey All: I remember a thread on here about it being inadvisable to reuse the stock rods? I've had good luck resizing and using ARP bolts with other brands, but I was curious if there was something special about Mopar small blocks that made it a bad idea? I'm asking because of a half...

Hey All: Curious how much you can overbore the typical 318 block? Are newer ones better/worse/the same? This is referring to LA blocks, not Magnum. Thanks for any help! Steve

Hey All: I usually see the 308 heads listed as ending in 91. Did Chrysler put a different head on the 360 the last year before the Magnum? Got a buddy offering me a 92 360 for cheap. Thanks for any help Steve

Saw there was going to be a new Hemi shootout at the NMCA race in PA, so I thought I'd check out the supporting vendor's website (shophemi.com). Cams $450-$500? Carbureted intake manifold - $800 Really? I mean I'd understand if the thing either made power or had some "heritage" like...

Hey All MY car has been getting hot when idling. Today I shut it off, and noticed the clutch fan was still spinning like mad after the engine stopped. Is it supposed to do that? Steve

Hey All: Having an overheating problem in my 71 Dart. At idle. When its cold out. Here's the combination. 5.9 Magnum with Iron Ram heads. (MR Gasket LA style head gasket). RPM Air Gap, 670 street avenger Hooker comps new milodon water pump stock clutch fan with shroud new radiator (stock one...

Hey All: There's a 318 out of an 89 pickup for sale near me. I'm thinking of picking it up to fool around with. Would this have 302 heads or anything cool at all on it? Thanks Steve

Hey All" I'm running a Magnum 5.9 engine in my Dart. I revved a little higher than I intended (about 7200) and picked up a tapping in the driver's side (probably #1 or #3). So, I pulled the lifters and replaced them with Mopar deals from Mancini. Also bought new Magnum pushrods at the same...

Hey All: One day down the road I might build a big block car. What are the relevant issues with given year 440 engines? Somebody told me 72 models were desirable? ?? Any help is appreciated. Steve

Hey All: A lot of times on here I see people asking for a good intake for a 318. Seems like everyone recommends the LD4B, and either don't recommend or have actively bad things to say about the Weiand Stealth. Of course, the LD4B isn't made any longer and if you can find one, it'll be as much...

Hey All: Does anyone have a good recommendation for a set of pre-cut wires for use with the Hooker Comp headers. Looks like I need 90* boots on cylinders 5 and 7. Any help is appreciated. Steve

Hey All: Well, its been a long time getting together, but my Magnum swap into my Dart is finally ready to attempt to start. Picking up the distilled water on the way home, and then I'm firing it up. Starting point: All stock, plus LD4B and Street Avenger.. Brought the Magnum home: Some...

Hey All: Putting the Magnum engine in my car and would like to reuse the oil dipstick from my 318, as the Magnum one is way too tall. However, that sucker is mad stuck in the old 318. Any tips for getting it out without breaking it? Steve

Hey All Does a 1986 Dodge Diplomat with a 318 have 302 heads? Thanks! Steve

Hey All: I've never seen a set of 318 302 heads in person. Do they have a machined valve cover rail, or is it cast like the normal LA stuff? Thanks for any help Steve

Sheesh: Basically, the issue is the driver's side. The two center tubes massively hit the new mount used in the trucks. I spent hours grinding on it last night and managed to cover my entire garage in iron dust (and my car- ugh). The tubes are still hitting what's left of the damn mount...

Well, got the heads off it at least. Looks like the bores are in pretty decent shape, or at least for something that has no doubt spent a lot of time sitting. Looks like it does in fact have the skinny head gaskets from the factory. FABO is right again. Who's the genius that designed these...
