Yeah.....i was hoping i would never post in this thread again...but the 360 is going to wake up again....Should be running again on Monday...Monday.......the mamas and the papas..
 
Got everything done except headers and adjusting the valves....plus plugs...and wires.....
 
Getting this done...one dam header bolt...always the same one...NO. 8 cylinder on the inside.....finally....

I gotta get tranny fluid in the transmission and i gave away my funnel last week...LOL........beside the fluid ...got one collector that needs to go back on ...and an O2 sensor to screw back in.....
and we can make some noise...

So in a couple of hours.....
 
Just need a funnel....lol......started tearing down that other engine.....will pick it up in the morning.....and get it running...

One thing I need to do is adjust camber in right front wheel...
 
Hopefully you’ll get back to the “race/gas up/repeat” days of old.... you’ve suffered quite enough!

Should take the TF heads and bolt them on to this 360............

Outstanding! I'll look you up if we end up moving to Henderson in a couple of years. You should be proud of your hard work. Now you have to fix all the niggling details. Again, Outstanding, Sir!
 
yeah....the Dart ran out of fuel coming back to the pits.....daughter said it was my fault....LOL
 
Weight savings...... I'm still happy you ran that number for your first pass with a new combo. And I know the air isn't the best down there.

This motor ran last year also...not new but not many passes.....it went a best of 10.46 in Bakersfield last fall
 
I'll be down in Henderson in October for the Mecum auction. I'd like to meet you, and maybe pick your brain. I'll keep in touch when the date approaches. Congratulations again on that fine pass.
