Darn LOL, even if I did want to go roller, I don't think the modifications are too drastic on the non-roller blocks.

I haven't opened it up yet so I'm not sure, but I doubt it. When did the 360 first go to a roller setup? I thought it wasn't until 1990 and the magnum block

Thanks for the replies everyone. I picked it up and it is sitting on the engine stand in the garage. Looks like it is a 87 block, looks very clean and has never been bored over etc. So I think It will make a nice candidate. When I get close to getting started on the build I will start a new...

Yes I would have the block Sonic tested and Magnafluxed to make sure it is good to use. Staying with the LA block would allow me to use the same intake and other parts from my current engine (would save some money) vs going with a magnum. Also are things like aluminum heads more or less...

Hi, I can scoop up a 1985 360 engine with 50,000KM for a few hundred dollars. In the future I was planning to do a 408 stroker build. Any drawbacks to using a 1985 LA block? Originally I was planning to go the Magnum route since it already is setup for a roller, but maybe staying with a LA...

ha ha, that is perfect to install them when you are lowering the engine in place. That should make it a breeze.

Oh and I did end up bending new transmission cooler lines. The ones that were on there, interfered with the headers so I bought some new line on a roll and bent new ones myself. Was very easy and cheap. Biggest thing about installing these headers is that you need to get the car a long ways off...

It seems from what I gathered that the stock power steering box would be okay. It'll be tight but from what other people said it should fit. You'll have the same issue with the steering column ('67 specific issue) getting very close to the #7 header tube, so you might have to clearance that. One...

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. They are in and so far so good. Unfortunately I had to grind down a bit of the Borgeson Powersteering box and dent the header tube to create enough clearance. (fortunately you can't really see it). I also had to dent the #7 tube to clear the steering...

Hi, I used the Summit high torque mini starter on my 360. It has doug's headers, which were a bit of a pain to install (interfered with borgeson power steering box, steering column and torsion bar) but the summit mini starter was never an issue. It fits perfect without interfering with anything...

I haven't measure the engine placement, but since this is a spool mount k-member there is no adjustment like there is with the biscuit style engine mounts. I am going to dent the header where the borgeson pump hits it (not Doug's fault since the borgeson pump is wider than the stock pump in that...

Thanks 72bluNblu, good to know about the column being longer on the 67's. Can I just take the column out and cut a few inches off that tube. It looks like there is just a bearing sitting in the bottom correct? I guess I just loosen the collar nut (that sits on the shaft just under the column)...

I don't think I can move the engine over since I have spool mounts (73+ k-member). I haven't even started on the passenger side yet. I wanted to do the difficult side first LOL.

I finally got around to installing my D453 doug's headers in my 67 Barracuda but i'm running into some problems. The headers are hitting the steering box (borgeson quick ratio), one tube touches the torsion bar and the rear header tube is touching the steering column. (I'll attach images further...

Thanks I'll have a really good look around that area. Reason why I hadn't set toe yet is that I haven't gotten around to it.. LOL. I have just finished putting the hotchkiss leaf springs in and the new rear shocks. I've also installed the new set of tires and rims and now I need to get a nice...
