I have a 68 Barracuda, 367/4-speed/3.55s/ at 3650 pounds/me in it. In the back are 295/50-15 on 10x2 drums, also no proportioning. In the front are 235/60-14s on KH 4-pot calipers on something like 10.7 discs The master is a 15/16 Disc/drum; On the back are 15/16 w/c's the Booster is off a 73>75...

I knew that; what was I thinking? lol

I see you're in Finland, so before you send them back; 1a) does the Cross pin fit into the case, and can it be secured in place with the screw or pin? and 1b) do the splines fit your axles? and 1c) will the C-clips go back in? If yes to all three; I gotta say this; yur more than halfway home. 2)...

Yur getting way ahead of yourself. Just put air shocks on it.

IDK, man: I'm thinking valve job. It'd a turbo car right? Valves don't bend by themselves, and if a valve doesn't close, it only takes seconds to burn a seat. If something went thru there to bend the valve, guess were it is now; Hyup, in the turbo. If the stems are tight, fix it, or you'll be...

That's a great idea, I didn't think of

Try the headlights and/or the horn. They are on different circuits, not off the ignition switch. If they work, that almost eliminates the battery connections. Then try the heater, which does come thru the Ignition switch. If it blows, this points to the NSS, so like said, try neutral, and with...

Yes and yes, but if the shifter is installed, it's a lot more difficult, cuz you're not exactly sure where the hole should go. and if you put it in the wrong place, well, that about screws it up. Honestly, I would drop the shifter. Here's how I installed mine, and it went pretty smoothly. I...

I can't answer your questions, but that combo, if my numbers are right, is gonna come in around 9.7 Scr which is not nearly enough for that cam, even down at sealevel. Installed at 104*, the Wallace Calculator predicts just 145 psi, with a Dynamic compression ratio of just 7.3.. Under those...

Hail-no on the copper, and I wouldn't run that soft-line either. If you make yur own, they aughtta be "double-flared."

and seat sorta looks burned. and the one on the right looks a lil deep too. How about a pic of the piston under it. Did you check the cam timing before the head came off?

On the street with street gears, yes ; If it spins both tires all the way thru First gear, then it's probably too big. If it don't spin the tires in Second gear, then you won't get to shift-rpm until maybe over 80 mph. With 3.23s say; 65= ~4200 in Second at WOT so then, in that situation, you...

Alloy heads do not need big timing on the street. I too have a 360 with alloy heads, with 3.55s, but with a 4-speed. If your heads are closed chambers, and your pistons are at or near zero-deck, then you are pushing a chitload of cylinder pressure with that tiny cam. In which case, mine didn't...

Actually you could theoretically use the same TC, just with a weighted flex-plate or weight welded on to the 318 one, in the correct place and amount. As to the retro-fit roller lifters, if they dropped into a 318LA, they should drop into a 360LA just as well. but not onto the flat-tappet cam...

If I understand you correctly , then yes. A loss of 2cc in the head will equal a gain of 2cc on the bore. But an overbore is a GAIN of cc in Swept volume, making it a Net gain to the Compression Ratio. Here's what I mean; at 3.91 bore, the swept is 652.26 cc. and for an 8/1 engine, the TOTAL...
