I want to block the heat crossover on my 360 w/ ported 915's. It's a warm weather engine. The 1213's don't have the openings for the crossover. Will they work? Why don't they burn through? Is their purpose to block the cross over, or was there an application with no crossover?

My 360 came out of a D150. It's in my Duster now. I changed the pan, of course. I didn't bother changing the dipstick, I figured I'd recalibrate it. It's a stock pan with 5 qts. in it. It reads full 6 3/4" further up from the truck "full" mark! Doesn't seem logical, but It has to be...

I have Edelbrock Elite's. (The ones with the fake allen head screws.) They cleared before I installed the rocker shaft hold downs. (And they came with the engine.) Not now. They hit the end hold downs. They measure about 2 1/2 to the baffle. They're about 3 1/2 high overall. Is that...

My Felpro set has both. I have an aluminum intake and iron heads, if that matters. The composition's are both the same. One of the steel gaskets has a small hole at the exhaust crossover, instead of the full size opening. Other than that, they're the same. Trying to decide which to use...

Boy, I am sure full of questions these days as I assemble my 360. Some may know from my other threads that I disassembled my new-to-me 360 to see what is in it. Or, maybe what ISN'T in it! Do I remember seeing thin, hardened washers between the rockers and the hold down bolt and...

In KrazyKuda's article about assembling the front of an LA, he mentions a bolt that should have a hole in it. There are 3 bolts that hold the cam thrust plate in place. None of mine have the hole. Was it assembled incorrectly? It has the drip plate, or whatever it's called. It looks kinda...

As I've mentioned in other posts about the 360 I'm re-assembling, it's been a long time since I've done this, and even back when, I didn't do it a lot. The engine came w/a hyd cam w/ purple paint on it and the lift checks at .508". I'm going to assume (uh,oh) that it's a 292-508 MP cam...

As I reassemble my 360 that I bought used (took it apart to see what was in it and check its condition), I'm looking over the heads now. Ferrea stainless valves (2.02 intakes), ported, Crane Gold Rockers, aftermarket retainers, springs and keepers. As was the rest of the engine, they're in...

I'm full of questions these days while I'm putting my 360 together. I can't find installation instructions for the windage tray. So, I'm asking here. When I took it apart, it had washers under the 4 main cap bolts that also hold the windage tray. I wondered why it only had them there. This...

Regarding LA360 main cap bolts; I see in several places that the torque should be 85ft/lbs. However, in Larry Shepard's, "How To Hot Rod Small Block Mopar Engine's", he states 100. And the truth is...??

I need a single Hastings piston ring. It's part #54109. The whole set is 2M139030. Does anyone know who sells individual rings? I haven't had any luck searching around.

I'm beginning to gap the rings for my KB190's. I have a set of Hastings UEM-4000AM8-030 rings. No where have I seen mentioned if the gap on the oil rails is critical. I measured one, it's .024". I can only figure it's not critical, as it's not mentioned. But I don't want to assume anything...

I'm beginning to reassemble my 360 that I disassembled after I bought it to see if it was "as advertised" inside. Actually, the PO didn't know too much about it, and it was priced as we both thought properly. I'm just going to replace the Clevite 77's and the rings (using the rings that KB...

I'm tearing down a 360 I bought to look around and see what's in it. The previous owner didn't know much about it. The owner before him had it built. Anyhow, the rod bearings are Clevite 77 CB481P. I can find them available, no problem. However, the mains are another story. The thrust is...

For my 360 in a 74 Dart Sport. I have the pan and pick up from the 81 D150 I got the engine out of. Will that work?

I have a set of 915 J heads. (I think, they're wrapped up and hidden away.) I bought them ported, w/ 2.02 intakes. They were used for a while and they need guides. For whatever reason, someone did all of that work without installing guides. Before I spend the money for guides and a valve...

I have a '74 Dart Sport. It was a /6 with a 3-on-the-tree. It's going to be a 360-727. I have the engine mounts. Will the 3spd x-member and rubber mount work?

My cast 360 crank has some pretty ugly rod journals. The crank is now .010/.010. How far can you grind one of these? The mains aren't bad. I can only guess that whoever built it didn't clean the oil passages between the mains and rods properly.

I'm tearing down the motor that came in this truck that I bought back in the early summer: http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=62220 My plan is to freshen it with rings and bearings (if all is well inside) and put it in my 74 Dart Sport-gonna-be-a-71 Duster project. It ran...

I just bought a 360 that has these valve covers. How do you get them off? There are only 3 bolts (along the bottom) and there's something else holding them on. Why only 3 bolts?

In the future, I'll be building or buying a 360 stroker (408?) for my 74 Dart Sport. It'll be a street-strip car, only being used for cruising and some runs at the track for fun. Hoping for high 10's. What are the hp and rpm limits for cast vs forged cranks and stock vs R3 blocks? Definetly...
