I'm killing some time at work (slow holidays) continuing to look at future engine stuff for the M880. My buddy has been running numbers with his dyno software. I assume the numbers are a bit optimistic, although he knows what he's doing. My current 318 (stock engine, with 4 bbl, intake and...

Just getting some input. I've got a '77 M880 (W200 Power Wagon) with a 318, 727/NP203 (full time 4wd) and 4.10s on 33" tires. The engine is original, under 100k miles, but a bit of idle time after belonging to a narcotics task force. For now I'm doing some maintenance and running the engine...

Now that the timing cover needs to be replaced on our M880 318, I'm looking at the balancer....that seems like a lot of rubber. As far as I know this engine is original except for a water pump and thermostat (that I've found, anyway). I'm headed to Summit tomorrow to buy a pile of other things...

I need to replace the timing cover on the 318 in our W200. It honestly looks like someone tried to clean the gasket surface with a grinder. A buddy had a couple good ones lying around. One is a rear-installed seal, one is front. Both have driver tide timing marker cast in. Do people have a...

First, here is what I have. 1977 360 block, bored .030 over Flat top pistons (supposedly 9:1 cr) Factory crank, ground .010 on all the surfaces 625 Carter AFB Eddy Airgap intake Doug Herbert E3N cam (455/475) 576 heads "cleaned up" stock valves, chrome MP rocker shafts, adj roller...

OK, tech question: Not sure how I overlooked this over the years, but I was checking my oil and it read WAY overfull. I only ever put 5 quarts and a standard size filter on it. I was due an oil change (once a year) so I changed it, actually checking this time. I put 4 quarts in it and it's...

This is sort of hypothetical. I currently have a 350-ish hp 360 in my car. It was a budget build with largely stock/used parts. I will not get in to details since it's not the focus of this post. My question is, if something were to happen to it (go boom) what would everyone build? Keep in mind...

Very disturbing...... At idle, still warming up, my engine shows 60-70 psi oil pressure. As I drive it on the highway (20-30 mile run) the oil pressure slowly drops down to about 40psi. Yesterday was 100 degrees here, and after a 5 mile drive around the block, I got back to the house and...

Here is my issue, all feedback is welcome: Warm weather: Car runs and drives fine. Have been driving for a few years with no issue. Cold weather: Car is gutless, like the parking brake is still slightly applied. It misses at lower rpms while accelerating, then once it gets up to 1800 - 2000...

Engine: 360 9:1 maybe 2000 miles on the engine Pump - HV oil pump Oil gauge: VDO Vision electric Pressure use to be 30-40psi warm at idle, and 70-ish on the highway. I haven't driven it much this year due to other things going on. Now when I pulled it out two weeks ago, it only shows about...

I just acquired a new copy of the older Mr. Gasket Dyno2000 software. Mostly I got it just for fun, but can someone tell me if these numbers sound reasonable? 360 bored .030 ( 4.030x3.58 ) 9:1 flat top pistons 625 CFM Carter Edlebrock AirGap dual plane 596 iron heads, mild porting...

OK, so I finally am getting around to indexing the pugs on the car. But I have a question: When using index washers (I have the Moroso set of 30) should I use ONLY the index washers, and NOT the original crush washers for the plugs? Or should I use the original crush washers, and add the...

Finally got a chance to get my valvetrain back together. 273 rocker arms (slightly clearanced for valve springs) Mopar Chrome rocker shafts Mopar adjustable rocker hardware Crane pushrods This is the first time I have EVER set up adjustable rockers. I'm not sure I got it 100%..I followed...

Does anyone know where I can get the correct order to adjust my rockers (i.e. adjust x,y & z rockers when at TDC). I was told a card chart exsisted that said which valves were closed at given cam positions to reduce the need to move the cam.

God, I hope not. But it appears my sub 2000 mile 360 is developing a lifter problem. I recently changed from Castrol SAE30 to Amsoil 10W40 motor oil in the car. I waited over 1000 well driven miles before changing. A few weeks later I developed a tapping noise at startup if the car sat more...

OK, now that I have ditched my power steering, I would like to lose the 2 groove crank pulley on my motor. Where can I get a single groove pulley that will fit a later 360? I understand the older (1970-ish) pulleys had one offset hole to make sure they only went on one way. One of my club...
