    stroker life span?

    Wouldn't that suggest that a stroker 360 (4 inch bore with a 4 inch stroke) would last longer than a non stroker? And dont most stroker 360 make around 400 hp, more than 3/4 hp per cubic inch, closer to 1hp per cubic inch. Not trying to be a smart alek but I am curious

    Is this 318 with 727 worth it

    I got a 360/727 combo out of a motor home for 300 and it had a short tail shaft, but it had the 4 pin planetary. Since the 727 i previously had was junk we used the planetary out of the motor home in the rebuild

    Magnum Head Cracks

    I have heard that magnum heads are prone to cracking, and I was wondering If anyone could show a pic of where they crack at. I was toying with getting a set from a junkyard and slapping them on a stock 360 bottom end w/ a cam. And Question number 2, Would it even be worth doing this to a stock...

    ld340 intake...mechanical temp. gauge???

    I had the same issue on a factory t quad minifold, well one of the plugs was seized in it, but my dad made an aluminum block that goes where the thermostat housing goes, it acts like a spacer. And then drilled and tapped a hole for a mechanical temp gauge. The thermostat housing bolts on top...

    Going from 318 to 360 info/help

    I would just use the converter that you have now and get the right b&m flex plate. I believe that they have two different ones. One for a 727 and one for a 904

    Going from 318 to 360 info/help

    The flex plate joins the crankshaft and the torque converter, and the flex plate that is in the van is identical to the one behind your 318. The reason that you need the B&M flex plate is because the 360 is externally balanced, where the 318 is internally balanced. The to combat this the...

    '77 rv 360 motor swap to '74 DUSTER

    If you dont use the rv tranny or a factory 360 torque converter then you will need a b&m weighted flex plate so you can use any neutral blance torque converter

    Young Gun's New 340

    If you are wanting to keep a stock stroke and the 318 isnt a daily driver you could take the crank and rods out of the 318 and save a little that way

    Going from 318 to 360 info/help

    318 Aftermarket Temp Sender

    Sorry I dont have any pics, i am at college right now and my car is 200+ miles away. If you look up at pettybluedarts picture it doesn't stick up as high as the chrome piece on his radiator hose at the thermostat. On ours the hole for the probe is on the back side so all that you see is the...

    318 Aftermarket Temp Sender

    My dad made an aluminum block that was the same size and shape as the thermostat housing that was about 2 inches tall with a hole drilled and tapped for the probe to go in. We used longer bolts for the thermostat housing and cut about an inch off of the rad hose. The spot that he put the probe...

    Intake Help

    Right now I have a factory 4 barrel on the motor, it works, and I am happy with it. So now I want to find out how much has been milled off of the weiand so I can properly sell it, without screwing someone over, to recoup some of my loss

    Intake Help

    Forgot to say that it was a 360 motor home motor. After putting on the old one I don't feel like using the weiand one anymore. We have some old two barrel manifolds. Could I set them side by side and line up the surfaces that mate to the heads with a straight edge across the head bolt holes...

    Intake Help

    When i got it it looked like it had been on a running motor before. There were pockets of oil and dirt in the low spots by the runners, and it looked like it had been used before. Any suggestions on how to tell how much it has been milled

    Intake Help

    I know that it wasn't the motor, I got it out of a motor home, and it has never been apart, so that leaves the intake. How can i tell how much that it has been milled

    Intake Help

    I bought a used weiand action plus intake off of a local mopar guy. I put it on twice and it leaked both times. The intake wouldn't seal on the passenger side. After bolting it on using the correct sequence, there was a gap all along the passenger side. It looked to be about twice the...

    340, 360 or 408

    It is easier to bolt on heads later than put in the stroker kit later. You could try porting the j heads yourself if you want

    340, 360 or 408

    Stroke the 340, it has a bigger bore which means you can get more cubes:cheers:

    What is This

    I swapped the intake on my 360 with a Weiand action plus and noticed that these top openings (circled in orange) weren't covered by the new intake. I was just curious what they were for and if they should be covered.
