Nice job!

Welcome!

I never had luck fixing my loose pins. So I replaced it

Hey I just notice, where is the red x.

Sure it’s not the 318 poly engine? Those are 18mm holes.

Welcome Buddy!

Found it…

Junk. It will warp after a few years. I bought the Dorman. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/plymouth,1968,barracuda,5.6l+340cid+v8,1228621,cooling+system,thermostat+housing+/+water+outlet,10337

The drivers side suspension is out. This is the first time I’ve ever attempted this. I soaked the upper control arm in vinegar and salt to take off the rust. Soaking/scrubbing the rust didn’t work, initially. So I went to old stand by, sand blaster. They say to soak the part in baking soda to...

I changed mine as half were out….and upgraded to blue. Go figure.

My tbi 1990 has one, the 88 2v & 98 5.9 doesnt.

When I swapped a truck 360 int my A barracuda, it was just a pan and pick up change. Never touched the windage tray.

Speedy recovery!

That’s just funny

Right! I think about all the 318’s, cast iron 4bbl intakes, 904’s I’ve scrapped. Ive scrapped 18k “super” 6’s. Stupid. i have a spare 302/318 that I kept just in case I blew the 360 in my 68. In another decade or so I’ll be able to sell that for what 340’s are going for now. (lol)

So another 20 years lol it’s just a rusty trusty truck to me to.

So when does it become a classic…2003 190k daily driver

Thanks! Sounds simple enough. I’ll letyou know how it turns out

Dad passed in 2008. I Repainted a die-cast model of the last truck he owned to match his Truck. I’d like to add custom decals to the sides, his name, sayings or something of the sort. are there any companies out there I could order custom decals from? fyi the MGD can was from the last case...

Went leds on mine

that Stroker was 10.5 - 1’ iron heads 94 octane

I’m late to the party but get the 273 set up. This way if the bug gets you for a v8…you have the parts sitting there.

Build what you want, then settle for what you can afford. by all logic then he should stick with his original plan and go 440.

lol thought he was going to drop the wrench between the terminals.

I’d guess 425 hp, +15 and another 10 lb of torque..455. Nick doesn’t like headers.

Merry Christmas everyone!

since I have both 318/360 motors laying around, I’d choose 360 to stroke. You stroke a motor for more power. More cubes, easier it is to make power. Now if I found a deal on on a stroker 318 kit, I’d go with that. Nicks garage dyno’d a stroker 318. Got some nice power.

Overhead valve spring compressor is the biggest pain in the *** of the job, especially by the blower motor. with compressed air you will hear blow by, possibly air through the carb or exhaust if the valves dont seal 100%. Once the spring is compressed I tap the retainer with a hammer to losen...

I’ve never done the rope trick. I have on numerous occasion used compressed air. Piston will push down if its at the top of the bore.

The way I see it, pushing hot oil thru more surface area at a higher rpm is only a good thing. if your motor will never see 5500 or higher, I don’t think it matters. the oil filter restricts oil flow. Once you hit a certain pressure the bypass valve in the filter will kick in, and the motor...
