Hey there! I have a 88 Jeep wrangler on 42s with a Mopar 360LA that has a turbo. I have ALWAYS fought running hot while running at Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Michigan. It never gets hot at idle or driving down the road or in stop and go (its not a DD so hardly EVER happens). Regardless, it...

Went to pull the harmonic to re seal the timing cover and water pump and find play in the crank. Have not put a dial indicator on it yet but I can feel and see it move so I know it's not in spec. How screwed am I? Looks like cheap torque converter is to blame here.

There has been some interest in this system that I run on my 360 powered wrangler. I figure I would post what it is and how it has worked for me. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about this setup. I should be able to answer just about any. This system is 100% tunable. You...

So I have been having issues with my Jeep with a small block 360 LA. I run a megasquirt ECU and while cranking my tach on the computer goes crazy. It will spike past 10k. So, it will not want to start since it thinks it is spinning fast and is requiring more fuel causing it to just flood out...

I am running the edelbrock EFI intake. I bought some alum. fabricated high height valve covers long ago. With the injector boss's I had to grind down the edge of the valve cover to fit that area...i ground to far and there is a hairline crack that has developed over the years. It leaks oil here...

Just got back from Silver lake Sand dunes where my jeep ran 220+ if I were beating on it. Been fighting this heat issue for years. Its a mild built mopar 360 with cast heads, around 10:1 compression, flat top pistons, cam, headers. The water pump is a mopar performance and i think its...

I built a 360 for my 88 wrangler. I was just wondering what I should limit the RPM to? Here are the specs: Stock heads with small pocket porting summitracing block hug headers Dual exhaust with H-pipe Howards Cams http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HRS-712221-08/ 6.1 Roller Rockers...

Installed roller tipped rockers and they shoot a stream of oil out of the oiling holes on the top. This gets past the small baffles and allow it to leak out of my breather on top. Has anyone made a shield to deflect the oil down? I see they make something for the ford and chevy engines but can't...

I installed some roller tipped rocker arms and now when I hold a high RPM you can watch the oil pressure drop. I am using a magnum stock pan as I wanted the one piece pan gasket. I can't seem to find a 8qt pan for the magnum... ? I think that since the oiling on the rockers is better , I just...

360 la, what are good pushrods to use with the crane cams ductile steel adjustable rockers? Hydraulic lifts. length?

Heads are off and at the machine shop getting a great deal of work. 2.02 and 1.60 valves going in, pocket porting. Now I'm looking for a set of good roller adjustable rockers. I do not want to spend $500 for a set though. This engine is installed in my 1988 Wrangler where I drive it like I...

Will the magnum style fit on a LA block? I'm running megasquirt computer management so I'll be controlling the timing with that.

For my 88 jeep wrangler that sees some road driving in the summer. I need it to idle with a fair amount of vacuum. I want it to sound throaty/raspy/mean at idle though. Current cam is a CompCam http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-20-222-3/ 360LA block out of a 78 magnum Heads are out of a 88...

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-28155/?image=large Has anyone used this for their LA 360? I run a megasquirt ECU with a chevy 350 tbi on my 360. It works but I want better fuel control and better response and POWER! I can't find anything on this intake through searching with google.

Looks like my rear main seal is leaking. The engine has to have less than 2k miles on it as its in my 88' Jeep wrangler. It gets a lot of abuse. While at the dunes it will see 5k RPM quite often. Is it possible due to the higher compression and high RPM that the seal got weak and started...

Has anyone done this themselves? I'd like to change from using a chevy TBI and run multiport injection. I know you can buy the bungs for the injectors from MSD that epoxy in. Looking for a write up or if anyone has done this before.

Do they really improve cooling like they say?...30% My jeep like to idle hot, but as soon as I start to drive 10mph it will start to cool down. Running down the road I don't need my electric fan and it stays around 190ish. Since this is in my jeep I do spend time going very very slow while...

What can you guys recommended for me as a great rear main seal? I have a standard felpro one installed now and hess around 1500 miles on it and it leaks :( The engine is a mild build... flat top hyp. pistons, 10:1 compression, mild cam. This is for a 78' block. The seal I did use was not a...

Rite now I have some edelbrock chrome plated valve covers and I am not a fan of them. Soo with that said I'd like to pick up some new ones and had a question.... I have valve train noise due to the comp cams extreme model. Is one material better than the other to help reduce this noise?? As in...

I am trying to measure the pushrods to make sure they have enough load on them. I marked it with the rail torqued down, than again with the rail unbloted. This is on my 360LA . Its either .030" a little bigger, or a little less. So hard to get a mark. they are stamped MPR-324 which are...

I would like to switch over from a carb. to TBI. My carb setup runs just fine untill I go off-road and get sideways on hills. Is this somthing you can put together yourself using GM parts or do you need to buy the kit?? I'm looking to do this in the cheapest manner. thanks

There is only one gasket that goes between the block and the oil filter plate correct?? Than you have the threaded adapter which holds that plate to the block. No gasket on that fitting is there??? between that fitting and plate.... do i make any sense? I have no idea what this stuff is...

On my rebuilt 360 LA I have lifter noise. I'm using Comp Cams Extreme 20-222-3 hyd. cam and lifters. The noise use to present at low RPM but went away after some driving. Now the tick comes on around 2,500 rpm and stays. It dosn't seem to be as loud as it use to be. I had the lifter holes...
