I have enjoyed my little "Throw Away 318" this summer and it will live on in another project at some point, but I am looking toward the spring and having more power to do fun things with! I am using the parts listed because I have them and am trying to put this together as economically as...

Is there such thing as a good hydraulic flat tappet lifter available today? I had 1 lifter start ticking real bad. It has very little use on it. 1 went bad right away and I replaced it. Now another one a year later. What is the safest bet? And where can you actually get them? Cley

What years of 360 LA engines came with a roller cam? Unable to find a definite answer. Cley

This spring I stuffed a Summit 6901 cam in a late 70s 318 I had sitting in my shop when an unfortunate incident caused my 360 to no longer be an option for the Duster. Cam break in went well, engine feels strong for what it is. Still running stock valve springs. When it sits overnight the...

Anybody able to identify these 318 pistons? Cley

For a couple years now, I have been deep into building an aluminum headed 360 for my Duster. Long story short after 5 minutes of cam break in there is a hole in the oil pan and undetermined damage in the crank case. Maybe I’ll figure it out this winter. So, what do I do now? I can’t go all...

I am a 45 year old novice mechanic (Journeyman Electrician actually).I am learning automotive stuff now that lots of you guys learned in your teens so please go easy on me. I have been struggling trying to get rid of valve train noise on my 360 since I changed the mufflers out this spring and...

Can a lifter go bad without wrecking the cam? My engine is a 75 360 with stock crank and pistons and an unknown cam. I have a tick from 2000 to 2500 rpm, maybe higher but the exhaust drowns it out so I am not sure. It only happens when up to180° operating temperature. Last sunday I popped the...

I was given a blown up 360 for parts. I took it apart to salvage the timing cover, heads etc. I got looking at the block and other than a 3/8" chunk out of the bottom of the #2 bore on the inside it looks good. There was a major catastrophe on #1/2 rod journal. I cant take a photo without...

I got this engine given to me a couple years ago. It was locked up tight and I saw some damage where something had come out the side of the pan! I decided to have a look and this is what I found. Remember this was a van motor that blew up on the highway supposedly. And maybe this is what...

Has anyone dealt with Prestige Motorsports in Concord North Carolina? They are offering an all forged internals 360 based 408 stroker short block for 3399.00. I have yet to contact them to see what the internal parts are exactly but I will call there tomorrow. Cley Mopar Small Block Custom...

I'm regretting buying the cheap patriot headers more and more as time goes! I want to do a compression test and change plugs as part of my efforts to make it run to it's potential. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to remove those rear drivers side 2 plugs a little easier? Has anyone made a...

I am going to pick up a 360 short block this week. I got it for what I feel is a super sweet deal for what I am getting. It is a .030 over 360 block with flat top pistons and an MP 508 cam. It was raced only a couple times by the guy who built it (a friend of a friend) before he sold the car it...

I am tearing down my Duster to start the resto, and I am planning to put the 360 from it into my 89 Ram 4x4. My truck has a very weak 318 in it with a 727, headers and dual exhaust,with 4.10 gears and 38" tires (needs steeper gears). I really don't know much about the 360 as it was in the...
