Refreshing 360 after 10 years....

-
Installing AF Meter in car...drilled hole and welded on Bung on TTi headers....need to get gauge mounted...

Needed to do some front end adjustments....passenger side has 2.5 degrees of negative camber.....and driver side has one degree negative...
readjusted front end height....driver side now at Zero...and passenger is at 1 degree Negative....will adjust after now wiring in gauge....
 
Got the AF meter wired in....swapped out the intake rockers 1.5 for 1.6 ....

Talked to Daughter.....we are going back to Bakersfield Oct 10-11......

Car still has 360 in it.....
 
Prob going the following weekend to the WCHRA race.... tentative plan anyways
 
Two Bracket races....sat and sunday.....$175 dollars each....
 
Which is not bad....cause if you figure cost of getting their and back...two races...e
at
100 bucks each way for fuel....150 for a room for two nights....will talk with Tonya and see
 
I was told by someone that those WCHRA go on forever also....not sure if I want to be there last on Sunday.....
 
Going to change oil tomorrow....Using Lucas Hot Rod OIl 10w-30.....wash it and then it goes in trailer so I can get the other Duster to see what is wrong with it......
 
Well...UPS did not deliver Oil.....got message that the package had been damaged ....and thrown away.....lol

Call Summit and they resent the order.....
 
Got the oil changed this morning...Lucas Hot Rod oil 10w-30.......

Washed the car....aired up the tires.....Took 75 Duster out of the trailer...Loaded 71 Dart in trailer....

Might go next weekend or the weekend after to the West Coast Hot Rod Association race....separate races Saturday and Sunday.....Daughter seeing if she can reschedule hair appointment she has that weekend...lol
 
Need to change the Jets .....forgot before i loaded the car in the trailer....Wednesday.....

We are going this weekend to the AHRA......cool weather awaits.....

Saturday high of 78..
Sunday high of 74....
 
71 Dart Swinger 360 10.318 @ 128.22(10-04-14 Bakersfield.......

That is what we are shooting for....same block and crank.....was .060 over then now .070......same brand pistons...lighter rods...internally balanced...old cam was a Hughes 6064...now running a MP590,,,,,,Actually I think the compression is a little higher due to finally getting the block squared...
Had hooker 1 3/4 headers now TTi 1 7/8 headers......same eddy victor intake...same QFT carb...
Same Converter....904 now has 2.74/ 1.55 gearing but Dana changed from 4.56 to 4.30 .......cause the car is suppose to have a 408 in it...LOL...

So with any luck......the car will come home with nothing wrong .....lol
 
Got the jets swapped out....i run stock jetting in it.....
filled up the tank with some E85........
strapped the car down...

Thursday unhook truck and it the car wash and fuel it up....and need to make a Food run....
 
Should be some good air there in the early morning......

Looks like we are heading for the March meet also.....Tonya is picking up the bill again....Great Kid....lol
 
Great..... 10-15 degrees warmer forecasted for WCHRA weekend. March Meet will be fun!!

Sunday morning....Dials 10.47.......Goes Red with a -.005 light.......Runs a 10.463 @ 125.12.......Nothing Broke....So Good weekend...Hopefully this Engine will be a spare that is never needed.....

We think 4.30 gear is hurting the 360 on the back half of the track.....I just compared a 10.335 time slip to the 10.46 time slip.....we were with .020 slower at the 330 mark....at the 1/8 ( car in high gear before 1/8 mile) we are .08 slower.....at 1000 ft we are .085 slower.....and .13 slower at the 1/4....the 2.74/1.55 low gear set make up during the 4.30 gear...but once you are in 3rd....you are pulling the 4.30 vs the old 4.56.....

But anyway.....it was good....Now.....I got to get the 75 Duster back together this week as I got the new adjusters for the rockers....Then putting new brakes and struts on my daughter Mazda next Sunday....then this engine comes out...

Attached are the 3 time slips for the weekend...
