Quite a while back someone posted info about some motor mounts (early biscuit type) that had a bolt through them or some sort of lock so they don't break. I've tried Schumacher's poly mounts and my 408 tore them up in 5k miles so for now I have solid mounts on it. It doesn't vibrate bad but I...

If your using a Molnar crank what rod bearings are you using? Dropped the crank in my 408 today to replace the broken junk Eagle crank and I tried to use Speed pro (Federal Mogul) 8-7125CH chamfered bearings but they don't have enough chamfer. I used them on the Eagle crank and they worked fine...

Just as the title says. Need to know the diameter and length of a LA rocker shaft. I should remember but I don't and don't have any extra's laying around to measure. Thanks

Has anyone tried using this oil pan gasket on a 360 LA? Summit and Jegs and even Milodon's website lists it fitting a 360 but only Summit says what year(s) it fits which is 1970-90 which would = a LA but lately I've ran into some issues with Summit's site saying parts fit then I get them and...

The length of stock magnum v8 pushrods. Thanks, Tracy

I'm building a 408 stroker and was planning on using Eagle I-beam SIR rods because my machinist said that's what he always uses and likes them. I was looking around for the best price and came across SCAT rods for about $20 more. Eagle I-beams rods are rated at 500 hp. SCAT rates their I-beams...

Does anybody know the weight of a Sealed Power H116cp piston and pin? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to come up with it. Hoping somebody here has used them and knows the weight cause Sealed Power don't have it listed. Thanks, Tracy

I just picked up a 360 short block that a guy had stored since the early 80's. He said he took it out of a 79 volare but it wasn't the original eng. that came with the car. On the side of the block you can make out the month and day of 11 2 and the first number of the year is 7 but the last...

Just finished rebuilding my 360 for the Cuda and got it in and broke it in with just the outer springs and 15W40 Rotella with the GM EOS additive like Comp cams says. Then changed the oil and ran it long enough to get the timing set right on 34 total and adjusted the carb. Took a little spin...

I was planning on using my stock dampener because it looks to be in excellent condition (rubber looks great and it has no mars anywhere) but after reading another post here I see you guys that build engines all the time say you allways replace the dampener. Why do you allways replace it? Is it...

Ok got a problem with clattering lifters in a 454 Chevy I rebuilt for a buddy. I know it's not a Mopar but I also know alot of you engine guru's know more than just Mopars. Here's what we did. I totally rebuilt his 73 454. Hot tanked, checked all clearances, turned crank, new pistons...

Ok engine rebuilders and machinists I have a question for you. I'm rebuilding a engine for a buddy. It's not a Mopar but the principal will be the same. It's a 454 Chevy going into a 1 ton 4wd. He installed a set of ARP main studs and the local machine shop says theres no need to align bore it...

Well I got the Cuda fired up thursday and my new purty Mopar aluminum valve covers are leaking. I used good Fel-pro gaskets on them and they set flat (after I used a die grinder to notch out a couple of places to clear the intake). Anybody else had any problems with them? I hate to silicone...

Does anbody make any better biscuit mounts for the small block than stock? I've looked everywhere and all I can find are stock replacements for pre-70. I installed my 360 in my 68 Cuda and tightened down the new (5-6 yrs. ago) mounts and the rubber has dry rotted and they don't look like they...
