Mopar 360 Performance Shortblock

Good advice 'Oldvart'. If you already have the engine...just go thru it and you will have a good piece and piece of mind. I believe that 'blue printed' engines ALWAYS make more hp than 'assembled' engines do. Check everything. Ring end gap is often overlooked. All bearing clearances, guide clearances, big ends on the rods check them. Deck height on some of these motors not consistant from right bank to left. Check cam CL, While degree wheel is mounted, check '0' on balancer with true TDC. And while heads are off, pull valves and have them back cut 30 degrees...nice low lift flow increase for little money. 30% in some cases below .400. Big help in torque production. Manifold to head alignment check it. Just making sure everything is right. Also this is a good opportunity to make some changes to your combo if you choose to. Good luck and give us a follow up.
