here is a set I had/have don't know where they are or what I did with them

Being a cast crank, I wonder if there may have been a small void at manufacture/casting and noticed at the machining stage where they touched it with a drill so that the edges of the void wouldn't possibly catch and destroy the bearing... just a thought

Here is my 2c Pan number 4006387 (which could be stamped 388 ) for 1976 A,B or F body 318ci

here is a couple 318 mock up shots. Hi temp rattle can international red.... just because I like it lol I definately cant use the 92/93 magnum manifolds but I will try the old unknown headers (black jacks maybe?) but failing that the tried and true 273/318 mani's I know I missed a...

Oh ok I misunderstood then

Couldn't you use the tool you have, measure with an appropiate sized ball bearing in the cup then subtract the ball bearing size? ...just a thought is all

Thank you!

Hi, I just have a quick question about stock rockers... Is there a difference between 318LA and 360LA stamped rockers? Thank you Troy

Oh no not my blinker bearings! lol 'Whew' I really appreciate all your replies, I feel so much better about it. I'll clean em up and check or have checked the valve/guide tolerances. Thank you all!

Ok, I have been tearing into a complete 318 I picked up late last year. I have recently began disassembly and inspection and clean up. The guy I got it from had the engine was in an ebody used as a daily driver with some track time. He left all the fluids in it for inspection as well...

I think you may be right about it not being a 360 damper, I noticed yours does not seem to have a register for the pulley at all. Here is what I have; First 3 pics of the 360 damper, then the difference between the the two pulleys one off a 360 and the dirty one off the 318. The height...

The Damper I have is the same as yours pictured, stock from a 1976 360. When I get home I'll compare the pulleys from the 360 and the 318 I have at home and take some pix and post here for you.

Doesnt antifreeze also contain a rust inhibitor? I also though that antifreeze also transfers heat better than str8 water too.

Well before reading your reply 66, I had taken it off... But... I'm very happy I did because I found it full of glass blasting beads! Whew! I wouldnt have wanted them all inside the engine! I did find the Valley pan baffle you mentioned SS and they are relatively cheap so I'll be...

Hi I want to clean up this stock intake and have questions about the rivetted cover on the underside. Can I remove it? Should I remove it? If I remove it how should I put it back? Should I bother putting it back? What was it meant to do? (I'm guessing to help prevent oil from heavily...

Oh now I see! For some reason I thought the heads I'll be using were induction hardened but after a little more investigation I see they are not... 3769974 So looks like the machine shop may be installing hardened seats too! Thank you for the additional info!

Excellent point on the coil bind, I didnt even think of that, thank you. So why did ma Mopar do this anyway? was it to do with trying to reduce exhaust valve hot spots? Sorry thats just an uninformed guess, but I'm just curious. Thank y'all kindly Troy

....anyone?

This might sound like a dumb question but I cant seem to find the answer anywhere... Why is it recommended that the rotator retainers not be used?

Actually I've been looking for an answer to that very question. I do know that because the rotator retainers are thicker than the regular retainers, the springs are shorter as well and will also have to be replaced.

JB weld is great if the engines in the car and you dont want to replace the pan right away... could even last for years and years as others have said. I have even brazed over pin holes in a slant pan with the engine in (oil out of course). The best solution is replace it with a new one though.

I found a nice aluminum one at the bone yard the other day from a 76 camper van. The timing marks are on the drivers side... took the damper too and the pullies and such Thank you for everyones help!

Awesome! Thank you both very much Looks like I will leave it externally balanced. I will try to get ahold of the proper cover, but if not I'm sure I can remark the 360 external balance/damper. Thank you again

Hi I've done some searching but I cant seem to find an answer to a couple questions. I have a 360 short block I'm going to be sending to the machine shop in the future and will be needing some parts and advice (likely many more than this as I progress) But to start... Q1: Is there a...

Thank you kindly Snake! I do agree on a clean shop, I always feel if a working shop is clean & tidy it reflects an attention to quality & detail and good work ethic... safer too!

Hey Snake, what shop are you going to be using? Let me know what their work is like as I'll be looking to have a 360 block done this winter or in the spring.

Well thank you very much! Definately good news as I was not looking to do anything extreme when I do eventually freshen up the spare 383. Just want a healthy running engine. Again thank you

Ok I know next to nothing about cams and grinds... and I dont know what most of the numbers mean except maybe duration lol As part of a parts package I bought last year this never before installed cam with hydrolic lifters was included all intact in original packaging. I'd like to get...

Try replacing the fuel filter, perhaps garbage from the old pump broke loose when it went then up the line...
