* 273 (2-Barrel).........530 Grams * 273 'Commando'......569 Grams Does a 39 gram difference require a rebalance?

Anyone bought one of these lately, and find it’s too large? Did just that yesterday, and had to trim the outside of the gasket to fit in the recess on the block…’74 360,by the way.

Anyone have 1 or 2 Crane adjustable rocker screws that fit stock cast-iron Mopar rockers? …believe it or not, one snapped on me! Heard a tick under the hood, pulled a valve cover, found the loose screw, attenpted to tighten it, and the screw snapped off in the wrench!

Anyone in Canada running a Whiplash cam? Where’d you buy it? Their Canadian dealer list is woefully out of date. They wont sell one to Canada unless you have a credit card from a US bank, which, from Canada, I cant get. Also, have a few more questions to ask a Whiplash cam owner.

Helping a friend with this 360 build. Here's what we've found. Pistons are EngineTech 1530's @.030 overbore...dish (we think) is 10.8 cc's...head chambers cc'd out at 65cc's. What'y'all think? Are we out to lunch? Thanks huge in advance!!!

This is the smooth pad with ID stampings on my ‘79 360 block. Anyone know what the symbol under the “360” means....?

Is there a secret to removing the oil dipstick tube from the block? Mine’s broke off where it enters the block, and the stub is still in there.

Are stock stamped small block and big block hydraulic rockers the same.

I need some feedback on a Comp XE268H cam in a 273, stock but with ~.040 cut from "302" heads, ex. manifolds and dual exhaust.

Anyone have a sound clip of a Comp xe262h in a basically stock 273/318 engine?

Anyone have a pic or scan of a Mopar Purple Shaft 284/484/108 cam card...PN P4120231?

I've just acquired a '79-360 engine as a core for a project. It came with a spread-bore 4 barrel cast intake manifold and truck oil pan. I was told it could possibly be an "E58" (hi perf) option engine from a "Lil Red Express" truck. How can I confirm or deny this claim without the original...

Just spit-balling here...my '67 - 273 has the lo-po 8.8:1 2bbl pistons in it still, and I was wondering what the comp would be if I had, say, .030 taken off the stock '920's' head surface? I assume I could still use my original, solid-lifter pushrods and iron adjustable rockers with the solid...

Hey gang...I want to go hydraulic cam in my 273...I'm tired of adjusting the stupid solids all the time. For those who don't know, its a 273 with 2bbl pistons, "'302" heads, thin head gaskets, Commando intake and 4295 Carter AFB, stock gearing, convertor and trans, dual exhaust thru stock...

Whats the general opinion on running a Whiplash or Thumpr cam in a basically stock 273-2bbl engine?...stock convertor, 3:23 gears, dual exhaust w/ manifolds.....Anyone done it????

Anyone know what brand of headers these are, and what they fit?

Hi gang. A rookie question, probably. I'm assembling my '67 273 using stock 2 bbl pistons, "302" casting heads and a fairly mild cam. I have #1 piston at TDC. I have temporarily installed the drivers head, and camshaft (260*/.430 lift/46* overlap), as well as intake lifter, pushrod and rocker...

I was reading through "How to Hot Rod Small-block Mopar Engines" By Larry Shepard and it says not to forget to install this oil plug in the rear main cap area of the block...see pic below. I looked and I don't think my engine even has this. Should it?

Hey engine guys...is there any advantage to restricting the oil flow to the rockers in a street engine? My engine guy asked me and really didn't have an answer.

Anyone using gennie 273 Commando pistons (10.5:1 comp.) with '302 heads? Do they work together? I know this has been asked before. I was wondering about piston dome/ combustion chamber shape issues. I have access to a set of factory Commando pistons and don't want to pay to have 'em swapped...

I just picked up this cam from a friend who's going big block, so won't be using it. What do y'all think about it in a stock 2bbl 273 engine?

Are the factory 2 barrel pistons the same weight as the factory 4 barrel pistons? In other words, can someone swap out the 2 bbl pistons directly for the 4 bbl ones, without rebalancing,etc.? Thanks

Can "302" casting heads be used with Commando pop-up pistons? Anyone done this?

Anyone need an AFB '65 vintage for a 273? There's one on the Bay right now... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1966-DODGE-DART-273-ENGINE-AFB-CARB-3854S-MOPAR-HEMI_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33550QQihZ015QQitemZ250348740965QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Looks OK Seller has it listed as a '66.

I'm looking at a '75 360-2bbl and 727 trans from a motorhome. Its still in the chassis so I can hear it run, and actually drive it if I want. I'm not really up on 360's, so, is this year of 360 OK ,and are there things I should look for, or avoid? I know the pan and pick-up won't fit a car, but...

Anyone running the (in)famous '302' heads on a 273? If so, how's it working out for ya? Are they better than the original,say, '67 273 (920's,I think) heads? Is the swap worth it? Thanks gang!

I have a chance to pick up a '76 360 4bbl engine and trans (727 ?) from a motorhome thats being parted out. I haven't done much investigating of which years and such that the 360 was good or bad. I'd like y'all's opinion on the "quality" of this particular year of 360 and is it a good base for...

Hey gang...Just noticed an Edelbrock D4B intake (small port) on the Bay for sale. Here's the link... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SB-Mopar-Edelbrock-D4B-aluminum-intake-manifold_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ36474QQihZ002QQitemZ120053046256QQrdZ1 I'm not affiliated with the sale one bit!

I'm restoring a set of '67 Commando valve covers. Does anyone know how the chrome "fins" are held on....some sort of glue? ....and how would they be removed without damaging the fins or the covers? Thanks gang!!!!

I'm looking at a set of later 273 Commando valve covers (rubber grommet PCV) and the passenger cover has a bracket attached to the side. I know it belongs there as I have seen it on other sets,but,just exactly what does this bracket hold,or what does it do? Is there a plastic piece that attaches...
