I was actually worried about the possibility of a clearance issue when I picked out my intake. Sure enough, the carb sits up pretty darn high. Looks like I'm going to have to come up with some sort of solution; drop base air cleaner? I want to run a factory air cleaner, I'm wondering if I...

Well, I wasn't expecting this little problem... I'm swapping out the 318 for a 360. One of the differences that needs to be addressed is that the power pully does not bolt up to the damper. The holes are 'indexed' or something like that. I took the pulley off of the 318 cuz I need a double...

Hi guys… I just came to the realization that my 1991 LA block does not have the lobe on the cam for a mechanical fuel pump. (this was originally a TBI engine) I understand that I can add the part to the cam to make it work but… It would be simpler to simply go with an electric fuel pump. Are...

Wth? This question is in regards to my LA 360... So I swapped out the truck pan for a car pan, I'm assuming that's part of the reason for the different lengths of dipsticks (?) Anyway, as you can see in the photo below, the l o n g dipstick is the one I removed from the truck application...

Guys, my alternator has a double pulley, but I don't know if both of them were being used. (Everything is removed from the engine bay right now) I want to order a new alternator and would prefer going with a single pulley, if that's all I need. The car has power steering, no AC 1970 Dart

I just got to the point of deciding to replace the cam in my 360. I'm looking for the recommendation of some of the gear head guys that know this stuff way better than me... Here is what I DO have: 1970 Dart Swinger LA 360 Roller cam Weiand Action Plus HP manifolds 2 1/2 dual exhaust...

Sorry about the title, just trying to explain the issue I haven't ran across this before, and could use some advice from the panel! The stock truck manifolds were removed in favor of some early HP manifolds. What I found is that there are two small holes left exposed which were previously...

I'm ready to bolt on my intake pretty soon. Looking for opinions here on which one to use. I've got two of them; a Weiand Action Plus, and an Offenhauser 360* My car (1970 Dart) will be used on the street. The engine is a 1990 roller cam 360. I have HP manifolds with 2 1/2" dual exhaust. Also...

I bought this a while back, but upon inspection, it appears to have a little wear; I don't know if I should be concerned or not. This should be a balanced flex plate for an exterior balanced 360 to bolt up to my 904 tranny. Is the wear a problem?

I'm thinking about ordering a cam for my 360 before I get it put into the Dart. But since I don't know anything about it, I was hoping to get a little feedback here. The engine is a roller cam 360 with around 26k miles on it. It's going into my '70 Dart with a 904 tranny. The engine has a...

Today I called Hughes Performance to get a quote on a Torque converter. I went away feeling pretty stupid. Granted I know little about TC's and not much about engine building either. But what the tech told me was more than a little surprising to me. My car (1970 Dart) is getting an engine...

I don't know if I have a problem or not... Is the intake manifold supposed to make even contact on the block as well as the heads? I just set the intake on there, without gaskets, and it makes good contact at the heads, but seems like it is elevated off the block. Is there something wrong here...

What would be the best stuff to use on my exhaust manifold bolts to minimize future problems of seizing up and breaking the studs? Especially the outer ones that go into the water jackets? RTV? Anti-seize lube? silicone? I found some white "putty" like crap that was still visible on the...

I'm hoping for some suggestions and advice here as I've never done this before! Below is my Summit shopping cart of some of the gaskets and stuff I know I'll need. Problem is, there are so many choices of gaskets. I want to get the best ones, ones that don't leak if possible! I don't think...

I'm considering taking my heads off to have them checked out / freshened up. They are on my 360, still on an engine stand. After taking off the intake manifold, I can see what appears to me like a fair amount of carbon build up on the intake valves. It's kinda hard to see in there, but it's got...

I got the TBI intake manifold off, and I want to clean up the mating surfaces, remove old gasket material, etc, so I can put on the Weiand intake. But looking at the top of the engine, it looks like I'm going to have to deal with all the crap going down into the valley of my engine. I've never...

I found an interesting read on the internet in regards to head work. I always thought the larger valves was something I needed (or at least really wanted) but according to this machine shop (they specialize in mopars) the larger valves may tend to hinder performance on a street car. Here is a...

I have an engine on a stand that is going to be put into my Dart. (It is a 360 roller motor from a 1990 truck, remanufactured with about 26k miles) Looks like it's going to be longer than anticipated before I will make the swap. So I want to lube the cylinders with oil, but I'm not sure what...

I'm a little confused and could use some info or advise on motor mounts. I understood that the difference between a 318 block and a 360 block (as far as motor mounts) was that with a 360 block and 318 mount, a spacer would be required in order to use the 318 mount on a 360 block Below is the...

I'm curious about horsepower. I'm an absolute novice in regards to this. Seems like 300 horsepower is fairly easy to obtain with a small block 360, by just bolt ons like intake, carb, headers, etc.. But I am curious about my setup. I don't even know what stock horsepower is on a late model...

So I take it there is no way to identify which heads are on my 360 (from a 1990 truck with a remanufactured engine) without pulling the heads? I looked under the valve cover, didn't see anything that says "j". Just wanted to confirm this, I don't have plans of pulling the heads...

I really don't like posting such basic questions, learning as I go here :newb: and still showing my ignorance... I have an engine and tranny on the garage floor, still bolted together, pulled em out of a 1990 truck to eventually use in my Dart. Question is, on the flex plate, can I just...

My donor engine is from a 1990 truck with TBI. I have pulled off the TBI setup in favor of a carb. When I offered my TBI intake in the for sale section, a buyer asked if it comes complete with all the associated pieces including the distributor. So will I be needing a distributor as well in...

...or even under $300! What the heck is this? I can't help but be curious. They are on ebay, they are an electric supercharger that is activated only when the accelerator pedal is smashed down to at least 75% See and read here: Electric supercharger Kit 3 PSI 900 Watt Intake Turbo Cold Air Dodge...

I was talking to an older gentleman that I've known for years about LA blocks. He is very familiar with Mopar, as he is a retired mechanic and owned many Mopars. I told him of my plans to do the 318 / 360 swap. He suggested a 340. That surprised me. I am not sure if he is as familiar with the...

When replacing the pan on a 360 truck engine to a center sump car pan, will I need to replace the dip stick so it accommodates a center sump? Thanks

Is this a bolt on upgrade? What are the advantages of roller rockers? Level of difficulty to install them? N E W B I E :-)

Please tell me what you think about this cam. I contacted a cam grinding company and gave them a description of my car ( 1970 Dart, 360 roller cam, Holley 600, Wieland intake, stock bottom end, stock Torque converter, 2 1/4 dual exhaust w/ turbo's) and its intended use (weekend cruiser with...

I hope I dont wear out my welcome here by asking too much. I am hoping to combine a few things in this one post... There are several things I want to get up to speed on. I am not looking for detailed info here, but some basic info. First item: Windage tray Why do people add them to the oil...

I'm not totally sure about the 'externally balanced' thing with 360's, but since I'm taking anything I may need off the donor vehicle, should I use the torque converter that is currently in use with the 360? Will that take care of the external balancing requirements? THANKS
