Before

Well im finally done, got to take her out for a drive today. Even with all stock internals it feels like a whole new car compared to the sloppy old LA 360 I had in there. Honestly more relieved than excited. I can finally stop getting nickled and dimed by this project and enjoy it.

Damn its almost been a year. Projects like this get put on hold and time gets away from you. Almost there now.

Pump would be at any auto store (napa, oriley, autozone) might take a day to get it in. Rockauto if you can wait a week it will probably be cheaper. The pulley you would use from your old pump.

Thanks man. Youve got a nice looking one as well

Remans are cheap if you just want to replace it while you rebuild the old one. Youll need one of these to remove/install the pulley. Harbor freight sells em for $20. Just picked one up today because i couldn't find my old one. Also a good time to replace the pressure/return hoses.

Pulling out some broken bolts and cleaning up all the bolt holes with a tap today. It got me thinking, since the intake bolts are verticle would there be any down side to running studs and nuts instead of bolts?

Was wondering if this intake would work for my build. Looks like it has the verticle bolt holes. He says its for a 318/340 would the ports be different sizes for a magnum motor like an LA?

So ive got a few questions.. 1.Anybody ever drill out the extraholes on an LA style valve cover or is the lack of a recess in the cover going to make it impossible? I prefer the look of the old style covers but am not not willing to give up the rubber gasket and extra holes the magnum covers...

Thank you. My question was specifically was what year of magnum motors came with a balancer with threaded holes that would work with an early crank pulley 92'-93'? And if i buy an aftermarket balancer with seperate weights for different engines how do i go about installing the right weight. Does...

So im pretty ignorant on this subject. By oe do you mean to use a very early magnum dampner as these are the only years that have an option without a one piece dampner/pulley? If i did get the balancer from summit is that something i could do myself or would i have to get it setup by a builder?

Then how would i go about using the v belt set up?

So i know the converter has to be used with the new engine. What about the harmonic balancer can i take that from my old engine so i can use the v belt crank pulley?

Depends on the shop. Where is it leaking? My radiator started leaking by the filler neck might just need to be brazed up. The radiator shop i deliver to still quoted me $150 though.

Dress it just like an LA. I dont care about originality i just prefer the mechanical fuel pump, v belts, carb etc.. Im really curious about the cam adapter kit on hughes for the mech fuel pump eccentric. I found a Mopar intake for a magnum on craigslist already im going to pick up. Might throw...

First off the "new radiator" in a bottle.. dont bother. I wouldnt want that in my cooling system. The leak is only going to get worse but if its minor and you want to fix other things first just flush it until you can get it fixed at a radiator shop. Second dont buy an aluminum radiator fix the...

I have been been meaning to swap out the sloppy old 360 i pulled from a motorhome thats currently in my cordoba for a while now. Took a trip to the junkyard with low expectations. They wont let you bring in batteries and jumper boxes so i snuck in a motorcycle battery under my tools with a...

5 quarts Filter is easy to find/get to, and you can get them at any parts store or walmart. I use conventional chevron 10-30/40 on all my old cars and change the oil at least every 2500 miles. More important that you you keep up on and change your oil than buying expensive stuff. Especially if...

Summertime in central cali. Ide use 10/40 anything ( besides pennzoil and quaker state) conventional. I would stay away from full synthetic with 50+ year old seals. Motorcraft part # Fl1A filters are half the price of mopar at walmart and just as good.

Huh i guess 64 didnt have a cap on the pcv side. Ive had to use a crow bar to get some of the factory breathers out before, just replace it with a new breather and grommet after. Makes you wonder how long its been since the oil was changed.
