Not the expert, but something along the lines of the stat not reacting super quick to temp change (so reacts slower)? Just a guy following instructions sometimes I just "do".
very mild 360 build.

here is the breakdown of what it cost me.. i'm sure there were a few things i probably didn't need and some things could have been purchased cheaper if i spent more time looking but summit and mancini are so conveinent. . tax and shipping are not inclused in the prices.
the heads, cam,lifters and valve springs i bought from my buddy dave. the oil pan gasket is discontinued so i couldn't find a price for that.. it was under 50 bucks if i remember. have had that for a few years on the shelf..

Good choice on those . 028 thick head gaskets give a slight bump up in compression.
Over the factory thickness of .028?

They are .019-.021

Don't know what part number cam bearings you got but many Durabond cam bearings are soft. Pioneer makes a better dampener. I'd have spent on a mancini Billet timing set at that cost. Hv pump, unnecessary and the rings... overboard, hastings would be a great fit at quality and cost. I'd use the stock 8 impeller water pump too. Such a mild build should not need more when you can cool a 416 with stock 8 impeller already.
Not knocking, just sharing.

With the high flow water pump I would install a high flow thermostat. Like a Robert Shaw. That way the motor can take advantage of the high flow pump.
My last measurement was .028 on a OEM head gasket. I’m not sure if there still hanging around but I’ll double check. Thanks.

I've had that water pump for years sitting on the shelf which is why its not listed on the spread sheet. cam bearings i forget what they were. machine shop supplied those. the other stuff is what dave wanted. its stuff he has used in the past and has been good. I'm fine with the stuff i used. only posted that to give guys interested a ball park on cost not opinions on what someone else would have used.

Compared to the run of the mill Felpro complete gasket kit head gaskets which are usually .054 thick. Most ppl buy complete gasket kit and use those thick head gaskets.

Good sounding little motor. Maybe I missed it, but what'd it have for oil pressure?

went over with a different carb today.. the other one was really fat. this one ran decent. probably needs a rebuild if i was going to use it. idle it has about 16 in of vac. and about 60psi of oil pressure at a cooler idle. it still has striaght 30 weight break in oil in it.

Was you able to get the engine home and in your car?

its on a dolly in daves garage. he said i can leave it there until i need it. really waiting on the trans... once that is here i have a couple stupid little things to get bit nothing big. may save the cash and buy the larger torsion bars for it so i can do them with the extra room of the motor not being there.. has 1" now and i'd like to go 1.08. may also go with Delrin kiwer arm bushings too and get rid of the rubber. thats anothertthing that would be easy to do with no motor.

Sounds like you have a good plan for your car. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, I know for sure that I'm tired of looking at junk.
