    Fan clutch failure, operator error. What other options?

    I have a 66 Barracuda with a 273. No AC, little four blade fan. Today while tinkering and hitting a standstill with the carb I pulled the fan and spacer as put on a five blade with an Eaton thermostatic clutch. Fit the pulley fine, bolts to the water pump fine. Was almost happy.... Till I...

    Which 360?

    Depends. If they had TBI then no. The TBI engine had an in the tank fuel pump and a pressure regulator and return on the TBI unit. There is a block off plate on the timing chain cover. My TBI roller 318 had a block plate but it also had the eccentric on the cam. Came out of an 88-89 Ramcharger.

    Mild 360 build: Opinions and advice wanted.

    So far here is what I am starting out with. I have a bare 360 block that is .060 over. The machine work has been done and it is fresh, its sitting on the stand ready to go. A wrist pin let go and scored a cylinder so it was resleeved and bored out. Casting numbers on the block are...

    Fan shroud options for a 66 Barracuda

    Im looking to find a shroud to go on my current radiator (stock with a 273) or is there an upgraded better cooling aftermarket radiator shroud combo. I am putting a 360 in the car that is bored .060 over. I am worried about it running a little to hot. I am not against running electric fans...

    904 to 360?

    Im not too worried about the rear gears that much. When I decided that I will put in a 360 the idea of fuel economy in my Barracuda went out the window. Now only if I could find a nice little valiant 2 door and drop in a slant six or a 3.9L FI V6 and an 833 OD....... :)

    904 to 360?

    Mild performance gains. No dragging racing or street racing planned. Rather have a heavier/stock-ish TQ for the mileage benefits and driveability. The car has sat in my garage for the past 5 years and has had nothing done to it. Time to get it out and work on it. All I really want is a nice...

    904 to 360?

    I have the stock 904 converter. I would rather get a new converter. Sooo..... All I need to do then is get a new converter for a 360/727 combo and it will go in my 904 just fine?

    360 in a 66 Barracuda. Manifold question.

    What are my options as far as exhaust manifolds go for my 66 Barracuda. I have a 360 I want to drop in and I have the stock 273 exhaust manifolds. Is there a better performance option out there. I do not want to cut the fender wells or bend or remove anything. Willing to go to headers if...

    904 to 360?

    What do I need to get to put a 904 behind a 360? Have a 66 barracuda that I want to drop a 360 in. I would like to keep the 904 in there after I have it gone through.

    Flash rust removal?

    I have a nice freshly machined 360 that was on the stand covered. Over the weekend a water line going to my washer burst and sprayed hot steam and water for 2 days. I was out of town when it happened. Pulled the cover off of my block and it is flash rusted. Bores are clean but a lot of...

    Choosing a 360 block, heads etcc...

    308 heads have 1.88 intake and 1.60 exhaust 340 heads used a 2.02 intake and same exhaust. Im not too sure what that will do. From what I have been told (im building my 360 for a truck mind you) the 2.02 is better to run at higher RPM. More flow. The 1.80 is better for me since it will...

    Im not a crack head..... It was probably a cracked head that has made me bitter! :D Still checking on the dyno. I need to get a bellhousing, clutch and pressure plate to see if I can hook the engine up to the dyno at work. I am by no means an expert or an engineer. So if someone has...

    Choosing a 360 block, heads etcc...

    Yes. They are standard LA series heads. Yes They are the thick casting. I do not believe the reinforcement is obvious. That information is just what I have read from my mopar book and other sources. Keep us posted on your build!

    Choosing a 360 block, heads etcc...

    How many miles? Was it taken care of? Could be a candidate. For free I would take it. If not useable at least its a core or you have barter/trade/core parts. Pull the heads. rotate the crank. should be nice and smooth with no resistance (some friction) or binding. push the crank back and...

    If you want some of my background I have been tinkering with engines for a while. I have helped friends who have loads of experience with small stuff. I finally wanted to build my own.

    Crate motor. Cheaper, faster to put the car back in service with a warrenty. How good are your skills? Have you built an engine before? A good crate block wont need machine work and if you want to you can put a good cam in it from the get go. If you really just want to do it all yourself...
