correct. "LA360" is external balance. just know that chrysler had more than one "external balance sb's" so "LA360" is important. if you converter has a weight welded to it...it's not balanced for a 360, since it was behind a 340 originally. If it has no weight, it may be internal...

BluePrint Engines 408's are all "LA360" balanced on the REAR. do not confuse that with the fact that we use the Magnum balance damper on the front. As @Professor Fate mentioned, 340's are unique in balance. it'll depend on if your previous 340 was stock balance, or had been rebuilt to...

We work direct with the factory, and ours come down the same line as other famous brands, and go in BluePrint boxes. I have been to the factory, and actually helped setup the end of line testing, including vac advance operation, tach signal function And clarify, mechanical advance and curve...

That's a fact! Thanks !

You know me you goofball. lol. And yes, you got it. Billet "MSD style" distributors. Same ones we use in the engines, we sell them retail also. We sell a bunch of accessory style parts. Distributors They are a Ready to run, stand alone.

Just a heads up, you posted both male and female terminal wires. Make sure you order the correct ones for your distributor. Personally I like to assemble my own to avoid the spaghetti and run them the length I like. Moroso makes ours. 8mm Spark Plug Wire Set - 180° Boots - Chrysler and...

Personally I like Yank torque converters out of Akron ohio. They are owned by gearstar transmissions. They are 100% custom, and will build one specific to the car. High-Performance Transmissions, Custom-Built - Gearstar Yank Custom Built Racing & Performance Torque Converters If you are...

Morning all, Let me try and clear up any confusion on the matter. Even though our engine uses a Mangum block, it's built to be as close to an LA engine as possible. The only thing "magnum" about it, is the block, the weight on the harmonic balancer, and the intake bolt pattern. The REAR...

Cool old truck, taken at a governmemt ran foundry overseas, a few days ago.

Thats super clean! congrats. very cool truck. I have a sweet spot for a long box

I wish you luck my friend. I can't say I would purposefully build a nitrous combo with stock cast pistons. And if they weren't specifically gapped for nitrous, you could easily butt the rings and pop the top right off of them with 200. Be really careful with your timing, and read plugs every hit

There's alot going on here.... stock cast pistons, what ring gap? Assuming no anti balloon plate on the converter? Going to put 1000 cfm worth of carbs on a stock 360 cid engine? And ya, asking alot of a 7 inch slick if you're going to just hit it off the line.

I stopped getting excited about the TF heads about the same time you did. When the rumors started swirling of an OOTB 300 CFM head, knowing what it takes to get a set of Edelbrocks or there, it seemed too good to be true. The first few 408 builds i saw using them making "ok" ish HP, and then...
