Right! That's what I'm saying Talk about piss poor professionalism & mostly piss poor business practices if that be the case

X2 ....... Sketchy at best. I'd go have a nice chat with them, don't forget to have a short chrome chain wrapped around your right or left fist while chatting with them. Just a suggestion, not telling you to do the latter lol ;-)

Completely agree, now that I remember, I had a 76 Dodge truck for a few years. It always ran decent, but after I rewired the dash & eliminated the Ammeter so the current from the alternator went directly to the battery, I found that the truck seemed to run MUCH better, so yea, I really could see...

I don't blame ya one bit, I wouldn't want to tear it apart either if I don't have to. Watching the timing light in the video again, I am going to rule out the cam lobe & go with the 73Abodee, DartGarth, & DFX on an ignition/wiring issue

I agree, seems that it would be an arcing issue causing the miss, &/or bad or poorly grounded ignition box, &/or bad coil, &/or short in the wires going in between every one of these components along with the distributer

What he said, lol :thumbup: DartGarth made a good point as well, had to go back & watch the video again, & yes, the timing light IS skipping.

lol, I kinda have the same motto. I used to live near Pittsburg, too bad I'm not still in the area, I would gladly drop by to lend a hand. We just moved here a little under a year ago, I was there when all the flooding happened, talk about terrible. I helped get quite a few vehicles dried out &...

Very interesting, I just fixed a similar issue on a friends 72 Chevelle, fouled plugs & all (I am the Hot Rod Chevy & Ford Mechanic out my small group where I live) I may be new to Mopar, but a 4 cycle motor motor is a 4 cycle motor regardless of who the manufacturer is, & I completely...

Thanks CudaFever! This info is very much appreciated.

I've done a few searches here & there. I'm still not sure, right now I'll just plan on trying to find a '87 - 91' 360 unless someone knows rather the 360's made after 1991 came factory with a roller cam. Thanks, Rob

So am I to assume that all 360's made after '89 were roller blocks?

Very true, didn't think about that. Thanks for mentioning that. I'm still reading books & threads in here doing my homework before I buy the engine & the parts. I will definitely keep that in mind.

Lmao!!! I don't think so

Thank you, much appreciated. I will start a build thread once I get my engine / transmission / rear end plan squared away.

LOL, Would love to come across an AMX, but nah, I'll stick with the original plan :toothy8: I like our little Valiant

I checked, it's an AMC motor, nevermind on that one

The Wagoneer was made by Jeep, & you do raise a good point, I forgot at the moment that AMC did make a 360 as well. I'll go check the motor out anyway, but if it is an AMC 360, I'll pass on it.

wow, now that's a lot of lift, lol. I may go with a bit milder cam than that, but definitely looks like it will make some serious power.

Just found a good running 360 out of a 77 Wagoneer, that originally came with a 4 bbl carb, which is still on it. It is complete with all brackets, alternator, A/C compressor, etc. I just visited with the owner & I am going to look at it this evening. He says it has about 70,000 miles on it...

I completely agree, & was VERY impressed when I read the thread. Definitely gave me a better idea of what to look for when I go looking for the 360 I will use for this build, along with heads for it.

I'm going to share the link to that thread in here in case anyone uses this thread for reference for their build. Great read, but if it's not the one you're referring to Bomber, let me know. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=167865&highlight=head+porting

Oh I'm very hands on, will be doing all the work myself except for machine work & internal trans work. Gonna let custom shops do that. I'll check it out, thanks for the reference.

Also, I would like to add that I currently do not have any "J" heads, if I cannot come across some, what would you guys recommend for your second & third choice as far as heads?

Thanks Bomber, that's good to hear, & I don't mind spending a little more on a cam. Should I still plan to use the "J" style heads with the roller block?

Thanks guys, now, though I have another thread asking the same question, with the setup I want to go with, would a late 80's to early 90's roller block still work, or do I need to get an earlier block to go with the cams we have been talking about?

Thanks, & will do. I appreciate the piston reference & will definitely look into them. Oh, it is much appreciated, & yea, I figured that setup would probably be good for about 350 - 400 horses. I think the number they got were from the Barstool Dyno.

I do agree with you guys, I don't see those combos making 400 horses, no way. I know the Mopar motors seem to be quite a bit tougher, but I dang sure know you wouldn't get near those numbers doing the same to a similar displacement Chevy or Ford motor. I would love to see how they run on a true...

Lol, I'm on the mobile right now but will look at it again when I get home. I do remember them being similar

lol guys, thanks. I really think I'm gonna go with number 8 from the Moparts list Rumblefish put in his first post, thanks again for that link by the way. Any thoughts on that setup?

I will call it streetable if it will idle at about 1,000 RPM at a stop light. Doesn't have to be a very smooth idle, would prefer it to be a bit "lopey" at an idle, but still be able to idle & have somewhat decent vacuum while at an idle. Cruising speeds from 45 mph to 90 mph, RPM range from...
