    Trying to ID a cam in a mystery motor. Help?

    So long story short I picked up a 360 that was last run in a circle track car in 1996. The seller drove the car but knows nothing on engine specs. Not sure who the builder was. So far I’ve pulled one head and found a few things. The heads are “915” J heads, no major port work but does have...

    Adjustable rocker identification?!

    So I own 5 different sets of adjustable rockers for SBM LA engines. One set are original Mopr W2 iron rockers.One set are aftermarket iron adj. rockers with roller tips. The other three sets are regular LA adjustable rockers, but all three are different from one another. One set is standard 273...

    Hypothetical build questions…

    So, I kinda ended up with a ‘67 Valiant two door in a trade, which I probably don’t need, but I might keep it anyways. So if I keep it, it will be a super low buck driver. Something that I can drive anytime and anywhere on pump gas, highway cruising would be a must, and I would have to put it...

    Worth the change?!

    Ok, so try and hang with me for a minute. So I have a '64 Dart. Its latest setup was a 360/4spd/8.25" 3.55 SureGrip that ran 8.60s in the 1/8th mile and was very drive-able. This wasn't enough for me, so I've since pulled the entire drivetrain out front to back with plans of a 340/416 stroker...

    W2 parts! What are they worth?

    So I've got a pair of ported W2 heads and an Eddy W2 Victor intake. Intake manifold is ported to match. Heads were professionally ported at some point. The heads have valves, springs, retainers and keepers. I'm looking to sell, as I need to get some ported LA heads for my 360 I'm building. So...

    Pushrod question?

    So the engine in question is in my truck. Rebuilt '74 shortblock, "302"heads cut 0.030", stock rockers, hydraulic lifters, stock pushrods, MP springs, CompCams XE262 cam. Once assembled and hot, the pushrods seem to be a fuzz to tight in the rocker. I can BARELY rotate them in place. Could...

    Tunnel ram cam?!

    So I'm ready to make my dart a little wilder than it is! Currently it's just a 360, with H116CP pistons, (scr is at 9.4:1 with standard felpro head gaskets), CompCams 268AH-10, untouched small valve 587 heads, 340HP manifolds, Eddy LD340 intake and a 750cfm Street Demon. The car is backed by a...

    Should I change my cam?!

    Alright so I'm about to redo the engine/trans/rear-end/brakes on my '77 D100. The truck is a single cab long bed and weighs 3800lbs without me in it. It's a 2wd with a 318/727/8.25 in it. It haos served as an on and off daily driver and my only truck for more than 5yrs now. The old original...

    My newest purchase...

    So I responded to an ad on CL recently about a 318 for sale for $1000. The ad said it had about 7000miles on a rebuild, and that he pulled it to put a hot 340 in his restored duster. He didn't build the engine or the car, he had purchased from a dealer out west that specialized in old Mopars...

    Advice needed...

    So long story short, I need opinions on a camshaft. Here's my dilemma. I have a '64 Dart that I play with and a '77 D100 I use as a parts hauler. The Dart has a 360 I rebuilt and put in last year. Specs are as follows: 1970 block 0.06" over (371cuin) Stock crank and rods SpeedPro H116CP...

    How'd I do?

    So I just scored a '68 cast 340 out of a '69 dart for $700. It's disassembled, but mostly complete and completely unmolested! The only things missing was the intake, cam, and valve covers. All of which I would be replacing any ways. There is no ring ridge in the cylinders and it's stock bore...

    Cam, Compression ratio and octane ratings??? Help?!

    I know this is a potential Pandora's Box, but what's the deal with so many people saying that you cant run 10:1 compression, stock iron heads, and a "mild" cam on pump gas?! My confusion is, stock early 273HP and 340HP came from the factory rated at 10.5:1cr, with iron heads and what was a...

    Finish my recipe for me?

    So I'm about to start getting together the last of my bits for my 360 swap into my '64 Dart. I've got a few blanks I need filled in. The plan for this car is a fun daily driver/cruiser. Not a race car or a miser but somewhere in between. The engine will be backed by an A833 OD and an 8.25" rear...

    Weight savings...

    How much lighter would an LA small block be if you swapped out for all the lighter parts you can? Aluminum heads, intake manifold, water pump, headers, etc.?

    Best intake for a Thermoquad?!

    So I've got a warmed over 360 that I'm gonna put in my '77 D100, and I wanna run my TQ that I picked up awhile back. The 360 is a .060" over '70 block with hyperutectic flat tops(9.8:1cr measured), fresh 587 J heads, and a Comp 276H cam with matching springs. It's essentially a slightly...

    Lets say its 1971, and I wanted to build a 360...

    So Im building me a bit of a rat gasser out of my '64 dart 2dr post. Im trying to keep it fairly period correct, the period being the early '70s. Well Ive have a 1970 casting date 360 that was rebuilt not to many miles ago. The rebuild consisted of a .040''-.060'' overbore, new pistons with a...

    What did I buy?!

    So, I picked up a 360 for my '76 Dart Sport('72 Demon clone) which is currently a slant/3 by the knee car. I wasnt really looking for a v8 and had intended on just building up a spare 225 I had an sticking a 4spd od behind it. Then a local oldskool Mopar guy(Wayne Bowden) mentioned he had a...
