Would there be any noticeable gains from going E85 and higher compression on these engines or is it more like the “normal” 3-4% gain on unboosted smaller DOHC 16v engines?

Oil was good a month ago when they pulled it and put it in the warehouse.

That socket won’t se much other use...;)

Helps alot

Most definitely crispy...

I want to keep it EFI but will do an open source EFI since I’m an IT guy by daytime.

New images of the lifted motor. I suppose the fuel rails might be busted since the injectors might well be melted stuck into them, the intake might also have melted injector plastic. So, do I get a go or a no-go for this?

Well we'll see how the stock heads look, I have no idea what kind of heads are available here in Sweden apart from aftermarket alu heads from trickflow and edelbrock, but there is much work to get done before the build part takes place :).

The junkyard website has the following number noted down as “manufacturer code” 300-08159 If that means anything, the engine was pulled from a Grand Cherokee Limited and is the original engine for the car. I will get new up to date pictures of the engine lifted from the body. Would 383 do it or...

Only that which you see in the pictures so I don’t think it’s that good a deal

I own 0 inch based tools what size sockets and normal wrenches do I need in order to take the 360 apart and put it back again? Disregarding special tools for pulling thing off, that I could probably borrow, as well as getting help with measuring journals and such.

There is a Roadrunner object wich is starting to require some sheet metal work on the floors and trunk and probably other things too. Asking price is $35,500

This one goes for like $3,550 The only other abodies are some 4 door variants in ok shape for like $7,000-15,000 or some hatchbacks from $30,000. But actual good project abodies are hard to find..

Nah, rat rods are not my thing I want to find it a nice duster or dart suit, or if that fails I could stretch into a b body.... a T bucket or any similar style car would not be considered street legal in Sweden with that engine...

Is there a recipe for 500ft of Torque rather early but being a complete Tow Truck... I’d be interested in both stock and stroker recipes

Yes, but they can still be used for actual porting training, given that 2 stroke pistons and cylinders is all I have ported before

Good, then time will tell if the heads are worth the time and effort, and if cracked they will be excellent for practice...;)

By my research this engine has the stock iron magnum heads, which are not blessed with impressive flow, nor impressive potiential flow (please say correct me here :) ). What are the next step up in flowing heads that suit this motor but are cheaper than shelling out $1000+ per head for Edelbrock...

I have no interest in the car just the engine, like I explained earlier I don't have the money to buy an interesting car and go from there, I can only afford an engine and treat it as a learning experience in rebuilding V8. The parts needed for the engine are available in Swdeden, obviously not...

10 days is still pretty lousy for a company like FedEx with an armada of airplanes going everywhere just about every day... Lighter and or smaller stuff kinda works, stuff that would go by the normal snail-mail channels and or FedEx-like parcel handling, but once you go outside those dimensions...

Would have been wonderful but I'll have to make do with your advise instead... Shipping engines from the States to Sweden kind of requires a group effort filling an entire container and splitting the cost, that would get me down to like perhaps $200-$300 for shipping and possibly even tax for...

This engine will cost aprox $350 (which is probably expensive compared to your pricees), shipping alone (with vat and customs) is $1300 plus cost of engine (and vat and customs) so what's the normal price for a 360 magnum in the states?

It's a learning project, it will get torn down first and checked, by me my camera and the internet as well as by local motor heads. then it will get assembled and whatever parts damaged by the fire will get replaced.

it is a grand cherokee -98 with a 5.9litre so it should be a Magnum 360

My thinking is that the fire was not that intensive in the engine bay given that the belts and hoses could have been worse. the reason 360s are rare is probably because people hold on to them, Muscle Cars are quite popular so parts are not that hard to come by. but your pointers are valid I...

Hello, I'll start by saying a few things about myself, I have Zero experience with American Muscle Cars but growing up on a farm has taught me the basics of mechanics and I do have some skill at internet research... :) I would like to expand my experience into V8 and American Muscle but at the...
