Thanks for the tip...will do

I've tried multiple preloads from 1/2 turn (.020) to 2 turns (.080). The greater preload quietened down the lifters that were actually pumping up, but the lifters that wouldn't pump up of course remained noisy. I think I'll just buy a new set of lifters, the ones I had were DNJ (Domestic and...

Thanks, that makes sense in terms of bleed down. But I'm wondering why some of the lifters, even installed wrong/down, didn't pump up in the first place?

Hello All, Been a member here for many years but it's been a long time since I posted. I have a stroked '89 360 roller cam engine which was rebuilt by an engine builder who is now interstate from me (I've moved). I've had nothing but problems with the engine so far - it's been installed and run...

A belated tip, as from personal experience I have learned. With the LA roller blocks if you are not running LA roller heads, but pre roller heads (stock or for example Edelbrock), you will probably encounter problems with pushrod clearance through the heads, due to changed pushrod geometry and...

You missed another "finned" style - the Eddy Elite series. Had them on my 318 in my previous car (pictured). I finally returned to them for my stroker in my '68 cuda, after buying a set of MTs and some fabbed covers. Like the Offy's as well, but by their style to me they just seem more suited to...

PS. Is it possible to still buy them new from your local Dodge dealer over there?

thanks...ebay is no problem I've bought a s...load of parts from there and other US suppliers over the years.

I've got a pre-Magnum roller cam 360 block. I need to find a set of OEM roller lifters and retainer plate/guides/mounting bolts. Anyone know where I can find all this? Cheers

Cool, thanks for that link, I've seen their covers in a magazine car, had forgotten about them....

Yeh, I like those valve covers too....

lol

thanks...the hughes engines ones are Moroso, at over $400. Fleabay are not the square shouldered kind as in the morosos, at least the ones I have seen, but are tapered in at the shoulders - and I do have a pair in that style but I have come to realise I just dont like 'em. I want a nice flat...

Anyone know a place that makes fabricated valve covers in the same style as these Moroso covers? Specifically the taller 'square shouldered' type, that make the valve covers look wider and beafier across the top. All the fabbed valve covers I have seen elsewhere taper inwards at the top, making...

I was a little out in my recollection of measurements, 29" across shock towers as compared to 33" with headers installed, so even more of an impossibility. Sharpie's relevant post below: Unfortunately they don't. They would be fine where they dump and everything, the only issue is that they...

Unfortunately wires seem to have been crossed here. Seeing Dakata "manifolds" fitted into an A body does not equate to Dakota "headers" fitting, for obvious reasons. Still, It'd be great if they did fit. I was wondering about that a while back but with shipping at @230 USD for a pair to...

The XE256 is a good little cam for a street 318. I know because I installed one in my 1970 Valiant hardtop (Australian, same as 67-69 Dart) when I rebuilt the 318. Same combo as yours basically. Nice, slightly noticeable but smooth idle, good response, lots more power than the factory cam...

Thanks for the heads up fellas

That's with an open exhaust, right?

I have a pre-magnum roller cam 360 block which I am using for a stroker build. I already have a new XE274H hydraulic flat tappet cam and don't want to invest the extra money in a roller cam as my coin would be better spent on a porting job on the Eddy heads. Quick question - can I use the flat...

You wouldn't have needed to use external balance flywheel etc on a 360 stroker, stroker cranks are internal balance arent they?

thanks for the invaluable input everyone. Looks like a girdle is on the cards.

I'm putting together a 408 stroker for my cuda. Just wondering whether I should seriously consider upgrading to 4 bolt main caps as added insurance. What have others done in their builds? Will the factory 2 bolt mains be more than adequate to handle the extra power the engine will dish out?

Thanks for your comments fellas, much appreciated. I'm going to try and get it welded up, the region where it is cracked is not a structural part of the block and it only needs to be strong enough to retap and hold a fitting. The "work" you see around the holes was done by me to clearance for...

I managed to crack the block on my 360 trying to remove the factory fitted upper oil galley plug (the idea being to install fittings directly into the block and do away with the factory oil line adaptor plate). The plug was in there so tight that burred the square allen head on the plug and...

I know you want complete engine bay pics but this is the best I can do at the moment, with my 360 still not in the cuda. I decided to go with red as per factory for 68 (well, a 340 car that is) and to paint the Air Gap manifold as well. Most seem to leave the manifolds unpainted and that's OK...

Just build a 360 and tell anyone who wants to know that it's 340....if it matters to you at all (and it really shouldn't matter one iota, if you dont have an original numbers matching 340 car - which you don't).

Hey stroked, if I may assuage you, I agree my aforementioned 360 is not going to put out 464 hp, just like everybody else who has posted on this topic knows. It's dyno software simulation, emphasis on simulation ... just a little titilation ...

Maybe he's over-carbed (snigger).

Yes, plenty of fun on the street, specially with a 4 speed!
