Who has done this? I've replaced rod bearings with engines still in cars but I don't think that I've replaced a full set of main bearings before. Rods are easy, pushing the rod UP a slight amount allows adequate clearance to slip the top shell out. The mains though...it isn't as if you can pull...

I’m curious about the mid to late 80s, specifically. As I recall, there was a time where the engine blocks had the taller lifter bores but still has flat tappet camshafts. Those blocks could use flat tappers or roller lifters. At some point, the engines went to roller camshafts and didn’t go...

I have no experience with the 318s and 360s once they were fitted with roller cams and lifters. I have even less experience with the Magnum series engines. A friend may be willing to part with an '89 360 that had a roller cam but he swapped in a hydraulic flat tappet setup in it. I'd like to use...

I am helping a buddy do an A/C conversion in his car, it currently has a single groove pulley on a good alternator. I have some dual groove pulleys here. What is the process to change pulleys?

Since I have my engine out for a rebuild, I'm thinking of painting it with a catalyzed paint from a spray gun. Despite good prep, my engines seem to peel a little in some areas so I thought that better quality paint might stick longer. The spray can stuff is cheap and anyone can paint with it...

I thought I recall reading that the heads and intake had a different angle than later LA series engines. Who can shed some light on this?

I sold a '65 Valiant Convertible to a friend of a friend. The new owner is a decent guy but isn't a hardcore car guy like many of us here. He needs a LOT of help to make this car roadworthy. It sucks for me though....I sold the car because I don't want it at my house anymore. I thought by...

I recall reading about this before. Radiators painted black, NASCAR engines, other instances as well. What do you people think?

I have a 1987 318. The heads I had rebuilt are from an earlier 318. I'm curious if I need to use the stock valvesprings from the roller cam engines. My machinist thought that the factory roller cams are really tame and that the flat tappet spec springs would be fine. What do you all think ?

Hello everyone, I have a 65 Valiant here that I got in multiple pieces. I am getting ready to set a rebuilt 318 in tomorrow and am trying to figure out which motor mounts I need to use. I have a pile of mounts in the garage but I don't know which ones are correct or which ones are not correct...

My 67 is a beater. It has always been a rough looking cars the entire time that I have owned it. I'm okay with that. I have fun with it I have a '78 360 in it. Standard bore but with '308 heads. It has a cam with specs I don't recall, it is something a bit bigger than a stock 340 cam. Awhile...

I was told that since these cranks share the same rod and main journal size and stroke, a 273 forged crank can be balanced to fit a 340. I have never tried this. I have a friend that had a 340 built at a shop and the engine developed a spun rod bearing at less than 100 miles. I helped with the...

Aren't the oil squirters on the connecting rods and caps supposed to face INward or toward the outside? I thought they were inward to throw oil against the camshaft. The reason that I ask: A buddy with a 340 Dart is having a strange knock/rattle in the bottom end and I wonder if his engine...

Hey guys, I have a 73 Dart Sport 340 that has no engine. I may be able to get a complete 73 340 engine to use. It is missing the torque converter. I'm hoping that someone here knows the amount of weight balance I need and where to place it. Thanks, Greg

I have had chrome valve covers before as well as chrome oil and transmission pans. I have always had a hard time getting them to seal. Is this just how they all are?

What is with these parts houses that sell stuff with NO INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED ??? I'm installing some aftermarket roller rocker arms and need to get a correct length pushrod. The PR length tool I got from Mancini has no numbers on it. It has some dashed lines. It has a threaded in end that gets...

Mopar Collectors Guide was REALLY pushing this stuff, now it has vanished. Anyone know the story? Discontinued due to poor sales?
