I love the fact that your so detailed in your engine build, because of your engine videos I now have a lot more info for when I build a 360 for my 64’ barracuda
Wow.. a .030 over 360 is about 365ci.. at 486 lb ft peak calcs out to 1.33 lb ft of torque/ci. Freakin awesome power to ci ratio. A very well built combo. 👍
Nice engine combination Joe! We didn't have much access to Dynos back in the 70's. Some chassis Dynos and those were scarce in the Cleveland area. The drag strips were our Dynos! LOL!
WOW!! That's some impressive numbers for a stock bottom end (crank & rods). I have told people that they were wasting their money buying a forged crank & rods unless they are going to spin the engine up into the high 7000+ range or go with a stroker kit but ya can stroke a 350 with a 400 crank, there are other options also. But I don't know anything.😉😉😃 I'll have to go & watch some of your other videos. I going to watch the video on them Trick Flow Heads next. Great videos & content, thanks for sharing!
@@sirswerve2493 Cast crank & rods are safe enough to spin up to 7000 RPM but not in an everyday race environment. It's also best to have the rods & crank magna fluxed to check for any small cracks that will cause a major issue.
@@Ratridez I helped a friend build a 383 stroker using stock cast crank & rods from a 400. New .030 pistons, aggressive cam, aftermarket aluminum heads. single plain high rise intake, 2" carb spacer & a 750 cfm double pumper carb. It was a beast & with 8" street tires it was a handful. It was in a '78 Malibu 2 door. I know the HP & torque were way up there but the engine never seen a dyno. I can't say that one is stronger than the other, both short blocks make a good foundation for making power. Fords are to but they just cost a little more for parts.😎
Hey Joe. Awesome build. I certainly remember the days of trying to be setup for a dyno day thrash. It wasn't our dyno, and just seemed like we would always run out of time. You have 10 different things you'd like to try, and start flogging it one way with one set of headers or one particular intake. Then swap stuff. Well you obviously know. Everytime you go to touch the motor it's screaming hot. Lol I miss it though. Great stuff, man.

I think it was hot rod or car craft that years ago built a 360 with a tunnel ram and w2 heads that achieved 600 horse and a ton of torque. So of course I have a ported w2 360 on the stand I want to try. I did come across a eagle forged crank in 3.58 stock stroke, brc made the pistons years ago for me, and a solid roller a little bigger .650-.660 lift, only a single carb intake though, but a Holley Strip dominator and have Victor Jr to try. Your setup inspires me. Nice job.
Correct me if I’m wrong but .030 over should be a 366 I believe. That’s good power out of that. I was thinking of building a 408, but considering this combo. Heads are a must for good flow and power numbers. Thanks for sharing!
That's def. in the ballpark. We built a similar 360 with some spare parts about eight years ago, including mildly ported Performer RPM heads, 1.6 Probe rockers, a leftover Comp roller cam meant for a boosted application (114 LSA and .620 lift), and a Performer RPM dual-plane intake. It made 529 hp and 474 pound-feet. Stock bottom end with 10.5:1 compression. Nothing fancy, just good breathing.
Love the channel I'm building a 68 dart myself and going to do a similar engine to yours. I noticed on your Dyno run that you guys cut it at 6600 RPMs and that's right where you made your max horsepower, I'm wondering if that thing had more left in it all the way up to 7,000. Either way that's a awesome running non-stroker 360
Stock crank and rods I would trust to 7000. I raced 2 years on this build but the oiling system didn’t keep up with that rpm and I smoked some rod barrings this year. Rebuild to a 414 is gapping now! Check out some new vids and follow the new build!
I have a similar combo. 360 with stock crank forged rods and 10.5 to 1 pistons cam is a roller 242/248 at 50. Made 460hp on the dyno with a dual plane. Im thinkin the stock eq magnum heads are holding me back. Need to try out those trickflows. Great content man 👍Subscribed
Ya dude trickflows and combo with a 1:6 rockers if your not on them already. You will get over 500 hp. Thanks for the sub, sounds like you got nice build too!

Motor still not in car. Going in tonight. Just got it painted and was messing with altimeter alignment. I posted the video like right after the dyno session. But plans are to run at 11:5. With no cage that’s as fast as I can go. But with gear and converter set to kill it would go tens
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop Very nice , best of luck. how much stall will you run? , yes i do not think i want to add a cage to mine, it already has frame connectors installed i think if would build it up and go all out at the 1/8th and ease off on top end it should tell me what it can really run ,if i decide to go that far
Dude, I know you made this video two years ago but Jesus that motor is freaking beautiful. Nice job stock rotating huh I love it with a 318. Make close to that kind of power with the same parts?
Well the 365 is 40+ cubes so you won’t make quite as much power or torque. Also same combo will want rpm like 7000 which is cool but you’ll need oiling mods. This motor are its self without oil mods. Check out my new motor 414 same combo with more cubes and oil mods!
Love your videos. Please keep up the good work. I would like to see a little more about your rear suspension, information on your mini tub, the CalTrac system, and what you did with the front end. Also did you tie the chassis together with frame connectors.
Hey thanks for watching. I do plan on doin a vid on rear suspension, cal tracks mini tub tire sizing kinda thing. And yes I have frame connectors as well. Stay tuned for more!
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop Maybe you can talk a little about your tranny and torque converter combo that you are using with the trick flow motor. Thanks for the videos, very informative
Nice build. My .040 360 with trickflows, gobs of compression and duration made 592hp and 484 ft lbs or torque on Sunoco 116 and 585 hp and 496 ft lbs on E85.
Nice work... I am working on a build... 99 Dakota ....full resto. done..now currently working on the engine... stroked 5.9 ltr...cleaned up to 408... Heads are Edlebrock NHRA SS heads 208s intake 160 exhaust...Eagle turning assembly....heads have been a lot of work on the flow bench...time is what we need... a little here and a little there.. flowing over 300 plus so far...let's see what happens.
Being a gear head and a die hard Mopar guy can I make a suggestion? Before making another how to video start watching Power Nation videos. They bring in the greasy ass engines from wrecking yards tear them down show the cleaning process, machining and specs and slowly assemble the engine from start to finish then throw it on the dyno. I wanted to see the tear down of the original block and see the measuring of the crank , cyls , pistons etc and machining and assembly and then dyno. I was disappointed you showed a assembled engine and just tore it down and showed what you did. Good luck
What a awesome build for a 360 I just bought a 410 stroker would love to see what the numbers are using your combo with 50 more cubic inches my stroker is going in a 69 valiant 4 speed 391 sure grip eddy rpm intake 750 holley cam is still up in the air only reason I am running this is I already have it if I had the money I would copy your build great job
why the "bleep" have I never seen your channel! just stumbled onto it. nice work on the 360. they are still externally balanced right or did you change something? I'm subscribing as of right now!
Right on bro glad you found it. This one is still external balance. You can get after market cranks for internal. This is a stock crank tho. Check out the vid on the ATI timing cover mod for more on that external balance
Makes me wish I’d spent a little more for these. But my 340 will make over 400hp with stock Eddys. When I’m ready to rebuild it with lighter pistons I’ll send them out to be CNC ported. These heads are as advertised though.
Pretty awesome of you to give away your "secrets" like that. Some don't mind sharing, some do. Are these heads similar to a new pair of Edelbrocks I see? They use custom rockers like this one and flow like 300 cfm or close to it on the intake side. That's crazy for a non-hemi. I just rebuilt my 5.9 magnum with kb 232. I can already tell a little difference even though I kept everything else the same. I should've did this the first time around. I won't be making your power, however. :)
Thanks for watching. Umm if your referring to the edelbrock victor heads, those heads flow way more and are serious! But they require a lot of work to make right, I have only seen a couple of builds on the internet yawing them. These trick flows are way better than the edelbrock RPMs tho.
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop stores.hi-potek.com/edelbrock-performer-rpm-super-maxflow-dodge-5-2-5-9-magnum-head/ I think I've only seen them here. The massive flow comes with the massive price tag plus having to use the special rockers that are almost 1,000. So around 4,500 for assembled heads and rockers, don't know about everything else for the valve train. I'd never buy them but if I was building an all out racer they may be the ticket. I really don't know if someone is taking the RPM heads and just doing a lot of porting. Always neat to look at what's available. I just put OOTB EQ heads on my engine since that's all that was needed. Great heads.
Yep you can get all out port edelbrock me by Hughes. Their big mouth heads are the ticket. And Indy TA are edelbrock casting that they move push rod and re work.
I have a 360 LA I’m putting in my truck, was gonna save up for a hemi but my dad convinced me to do the 360 since it was a package deal with a truck he bought off a friend that he had laying around, it has a .455 Mopar cam,some beefier valve springs, and a 650 double pump carb, only issue is that since it’s a LA and not a magnum we have to make whole new mounts because my truck came with a magnum v6. Hoping it’ll do around 300hp/320tq to the wheels, it’s a 89 dakota, later in the future when I can perfect the truck I’ll bulletproof the engine to take a 6-71 blower if I can find a kit for it
Very impressive especially for non-stroked 360. Made me a little dissappointed in the numbers for my roller cam 408 at 491hp and 521 lb/ft running Edelbrock heads and dual plane manifold.
Damn dude I just got these heads last month . I was planning on building a mean 390 stroker mostly for street use but numbers like that from stock bottom is making me not even want to go stroked
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop I finally got my build finished man! Went with 360/408 w/trickflow 10:1 comp , hyd roller, 750 dub pump, with a very nice street cam.It made 490hp and 500tq w/ full pulley system! Gonna be one fun 4 speed truck!
Good afternoon buddy here in Pennsylvania. It’s 1202. Sorry to bother you on a Sunday when you were building your stroke of motor and you made 580 hp. What cam did you use if you don’t mind me asking
There's an almost identical 360 in my profile pic car. Same block, pistons, intake, carb and even the damn oil pan and valve covers. I have Edelbrock heads and a smaller cam with regular adj. rockers though.
What a vicious combo. Couple questions - when you zero decked, did you have to cut the heads or intake to make them fit and do you use the paper gaskets on the valley pan? Second do you run power brakes? I would guess that’s way too much duration and not enough vacuum, curious about your setup. Also is this the dawn of the beard????
Didn’t have to cut heads or intake they generally fit good with a zero deck and .040 compressed gasket. No power brakes or anything that use vacuum on motor. Lol yes this is the start, I love that you are going thru the vids from back to front. This was the start of Covid and I stopped shaving and getting hair cuts lol enjoy! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😂
Got a 340 going together with these heads, 305H cam-253 and 253 @.50, right around 10.85:1 compression. Should be a real screamer, gonna be cradled by a set of 180 degree headers, no Dyno, but I think it's gonna sound killer too.
Very nice brother God bless from Canada eh i have a 360 in my 83 d150 step side and it is great mild build for street 10:1 compression ratio 300 HP and torq
oh i seen another old video, i did not like drag racing with the flex fan set up when i had my Cuda. i removed it and went to moroso driven electric, and shaved .3 off my E.T.(Maybe was due to pump also) from stock 440 i had
Awesome video. Love your channel! I’m building a similar engine combo, pretty big cam though. Would you say the 750 DP was right or could you of gone up to an 850 DP? Looking to buy one and trying to get opinions on them
This is literally my exact build plan for my 360 rebuild. Heads, cam, rockers, all of it. One question, what thickness head gasket did you use? This is my first time building a motor and I’m having a hard time finding answers for gasket thickness to use.
Hello from Buffalo New York. I’m currently on my way to something similar to what you built. 360 hypertectic pistons. Compression will be slightly over 10-1. Full engine bottom end balance. Rods ,pistons, crank all balanced. I’m going with magnum heads. Cleaned up , new valves springs , not sure about the guides My engine builder knows that stuff. My questions are what lifter goes use? Push rod? I’m going with a comp cams hydraulic flat tapper. Also, I wanted to use an old school tunnel ram with single 4 bbl. but I was told it won’t work because of intake bolts arrangement. That sucks. I was also told there are ways to make the intake work. What do you think ? I hope my engine rocks out the horsepower as much as your does. It’s going in 74 Duster w built 904. So we will see I guess. Thank you for any and all info you can pass my way.
Hey there. Sounds like a nice build but yes magnum engines use different intakes. I would suggest ditching the magnum heads and getting the trick flows. Then you can use a tunnel ram (LA bolt pattern). You won’t get anywhere near 500 hp with those heads anyway. You will prob be like 420 hp or 450 with a solid roller cam. Watch my video on the trick flow heads. Thanks for watching
Everything bought thru summit racing you select heads complete with spring based on your cam. Watch my vid on these heads for more info thanks for watching
Damn dude stock bottom end awesome not too many people build Mopar motors in my opinion I just bought a truck with a 318 already making my wish list do you think stock bottom end on a 318 with some decent heads and a cam would make 400 horse?
This is the older LA block right, have you worked with the 360 magnum any? I have a 2000 durango r/t 5.9 id love to find some good flowing heads like you used on the LA. Great video btw.
These heads will actually fit the magnum engines as well! You just buy the correct rockers from Harland Sharp for the oiling to work correctly but then you can LA intake with them! Best of both worlds. I have a video about these heads check it out! And thanks for watching.
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop Thanks for answering me man, thats a nice engine. Not trying to dog ya or start a net fight... But cooling systems are pressurized in the car as well, and they still have a lower hose spring. Think about an air or water hose, or a brake line, they got pressure. When ya pinch em they still restrict, or stop flow. Any how nice power and engine combo, more mopar the better. Later man
👍🏻 you are right that both systems are pressurized, my low hose on car does have a spring so it dosnt collapse. That was just a dyno hose. Thanks for checking out the vid bro
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop I can't help but wonder, please don't mis-understand: with some minor porting and some more compression and playing with the cam timing if you can Crack 600.
Compression was. Upper 10s and headers are tti 1 5/8 step tho 1 3/4 in car. I think that’s what we used on dyno but may have been 1 7/8 tti. Check out my new motor dyno vid!
SimpsonsSpeedShop ohh man!!! That’s the same manifold I have sourced for my build! Now I really wish you had a chance to test it!!! Have you got the big plenum version? That’s what I have and it’s a mean looking manifold! I think you can run like a small plenum of like a tr1y from a chev
You still have the issue of the bad lifter geometry! If you are gonna really turn one up you need main studs and rock hard in the bottom of the block! A much better street set up would be a milder hydraulic roller and a boosted version using a forged components and about 12 pounds of boost with fuel injection. That combo would make more power as well as far better torque down low with great street manners and much improved driveability!
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop We are in the process of installing 5.7 hemi removed from a wrecked 2017 Challenger into a 55 Chevy. We took everything...8 speed, engine, wiring harness, 8.4 touch screen and complete dash. Using a 3.50 rear from an Explorer. Going bone stock to begin with while we iron out all the bugs. Once we are happy we intend to convert it to an all forged 410 inch combo with a Whipple, mild cam and 12 pounds of boost. Best we can determine the 55 is 475 pounds lighter than the donor Challenger. We want to end up with a comfortable classic 4 door for road trips that will go anywhere with cold A/C blowing and run honest 11s on street all season tires. I build computer controlled ice vending towers for a living, but love crazy projects like this one to relax with.
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop Yes. I want to use a V3 Vortech like the unit on the Ripp supercharged V6 kits with their intercooler as well. The owner wants the Whipple. His money and his plan. I would use the stock motor with a blower cam and just run 6 to 8 pounds of boost. I personally think that would give him great performance without the extra expense.
Check out a 1000hp big block here!

Ya dude trickflows and combo with a 1:6 rockers if your not on them already. You will get over 500 hp. Thanks for the sub, sounds like you got nice build too!
I'm in the middle of putting my 67 barracuda back together 60 0ver zero deck kb forged pistons internal balance had a reputable shop rework the heads 285@,50 292@,60 will be running Hughes sft 246/250 and air gap port matched looking for opinions ?
Just made 455 hp at 5300 rpm and 470 lb feet torque at 4100 rpm on a .40 over LA block. Used this as a template it works boys! Did use a Howard’s retro roller only difference! Putting her in the truck right now. Let her rip tater chip!
Hell ya brother
this is great to see, finally i could never find a dyno of trick flow 190 cc
I think I may be the first. I could not find any ether. Thanks for watching
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop BTW what E.T. do you run with the new set up? i am buying a 408" 69 Dart and want to upgrade cam and heads etc to match
Motor still not in car. Going in tonight. Just got it painted and was messing with altimeter alignment. I posted the video like right after the dyno session. But plans are to run at 11:5. With no cage that’s as fast as I can go. But with gear and converter set to kill it would go tens
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop Very nice , best of luck. how much stall will you run? , yes i do not think i want to add a cage to mine, it already has frame connectors installed i think if would build it up and go all out at the 1/8th and ease off on top end it should tell me what it can really run ,if i decide to go that far
Did you say Morale lifters?, i found a site and they did not list Mopar ,just chevy stuff
That power in a 360, is impressive.
Check out the stroker version in a newer video!
Thank you for sharing!! In the process of building a 360 and this is great info! Thanks Joe!
Right on! Thanks for watching
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop Joe, do you have a part number for those morrel lifters? Are they roller lifters? Thank you
Dude, I know you made this video two years ago but Jesus that motor is freaking beautiful. Nice job stock rotating huh I love it with a 318. Make close to that kind of power with the same parts?
Well the 365 is 40+ cubes so you won’t make quite as much power or torque. Also same combo will want rpm like 7000 which is cool but you’ll need oiling mods. This motor are its self without oil mods. Check out my new motor 414 same combo with more cubes and oil mods!
Love your videos. Please keep up the good work. I would like to see a little more about your rear suspension, information on your mini tub, the CalTrac system, and what you did with the front end. Also did you tie the chassis together with frame connectors.
Hey thanks for watching. I do plan on doin a vid on rear suspension, cal tracks mini tub tire sizing kinda thing. And yes I have frame connectors as well. Stay tuned for more!
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop Maybe you can talk a little about your tranny and torque converter combo that you are using with the trick flow motor. Thanks for the videos, very informative
Nice build. My .040 360 with trickflows, gobs of compression and duration made 592hp and 484 ft lbs or torque on Sunoco 116 and 585 hp and 496 ft lbs on E85.
Sounds sweet what rpm you turning?
We ran it to 7200 on the dyno. It made peak torque at 5200 and peak hp at 6700.
Nice work... I am working on a build... 99 Dakota ....full resto. done..now currently working on the engine... stroked 5.9 ltr...cleaned up to 408... Heads are Edlebrock NHRA SS heads 208s intake 160 exhaust...Eagle turning assembly....heads have been a lot of work on the flow bench...time is what we need... a little here and a little there.. flowing over 300 plus so far...let's see what happens.
Nice sounds good. With a head flowing around 300 on a 408 with the right cam you will be in and around 600. 👍🏻
Love your videos.
Being a gear head and a die hard Mopar guy can I make a suggestion? Before making another how to video start watching Power Nation videos. They bring in the greasy ass engines from wrecking yards tear them down show the cleaning process, machining and specs and slowly assemble the engine from start to finish then throw it on the dyno. I wanted to see the tear down of the original block and see the measuring of the crank , cyls , pistons etc and machining and assembly and then dyno. I was disappointed you showed a assembled engine and just tore it down and showed what you did. Good luck
I believe you have too have a good sense of know how to building any motor from the crank up😊
What a awesome build for a 360 I just bought a 410 stroker would love to see what the numbers are using your combo with 50 more cubic inches my stroker is going in a 69 valiant 4 speed 391 sure grip eddy rpm intake 750 holley cam is still up in the air only reason I am running this is I already have it if I had the money I would copy your build great job
Check out my new motor dyno vid! 414 cubes and same top combo!
Great job and great numbers. Congrats!
Thanks! And thanks for watching.
Nice build only thing I would change is carb to 850 and a bullet cam
why the "bleep" have I never seen your channel! just stumbled onto it. nice work on the 360. they are still externally balanced right or did you change something? I'm subscribing as of right now!
Right on bro glad you found it. This one is still external balance. You can get after market cranks for internal. This is a stock crank tho. Check out the vid on the ATI timing cover mod for more on that external balance
Would like to have that in my Rumble Bee with the 392 gears seeeeeee! Yaaaaaaaaa!
No doubt! Thanks for watching! Subscribe to not miss my next video.
I bet that would get alot more power Stroked to 410 using the Indy w2 heads that's great power for stock bottom end 360 way to go Joe
Yes that would be an entirely different build. Thanks for watching
Awesome build man, quick question this is a stock mopar 360 block not an r3? Keep up the great videos 👍🏻
Stock block bro! Stock block crank and rods. Thanks for watching
Nice heads. Sold.
Makes me wish I’d spent a little more for these. But my 340 will make over 400hp with stock Eddys. When I’m ready to rebuild it with lighter pistons I’ll send them out to be CNC ported. These heads are as advertised though.
Yea 400 is very achievable goal. My previous motor made 420 ho on stock Eddy’s. That video is on my page too. Thanks for watching
Pretty awesome of you to give away your "secrets" like that. Some don't mind sharing, some do. Are these heads similar to a new pair of Edelbrocks I see? They use custom rockers like this one and flow like 300 cfm or close to it on the intake side. That's crazy for a non-hemi. I just rebuilt my 5.9 magnum with kb 232. I can already tell a little difference even though I kept everything else the same. I should've did this the first time around. I won't be making your power, however. :)
Thanks for watching. Umm if your referring to the edelbrock victor heads, those heads flow way more and are serious! But they require a lot of work to make right, I have only seen a couple of builds on the internet yawing them. These trick flows are way better than the edelbrock RPMs tho.
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop stores.hi-potek.com/edelbrock-performer-rpm-super-maxflow-dodge-5-2-5-9-magnum-head/
I think I've only seen them here. The massive flow comes with the massive price tag plus having to use the special rockers that are almost 1,000. So around 4,500 for assembled heads and rockers, don't know about everything else for the valve train. I'd never buy them but if I was building an all out racer they may be the ticket. I really don't know if someone is taking the RPM heads and just doing a lot of porting. Always neat to look at what's available. I just put OOTB EQ heads on my engine since that's all that was needed. Great heads.
Yep you can get all out port edelbrock me by Hughes. Their big mouth heads are the ticket. And Indy TA are edelbrock casting that they move push rod and re work.
A year plus later my 360 magnum is finished. Awesome vid
Here i have been thinking 383 build for my MOPAR guess im rethinking that build!!!
You can get lots out of a 383 too! But if you already have a small block with these new heads you get some great numbers
Like them 383’s
I have a 360 LA I’m putting in my truck, was gonna save up for a hemi but my dad convinced me to do the 360 since it was a package deal with a truck he bought off a friend that he had laying around, it has a .455 Mopar cam,some beefier valve springs, and a 650 double pump carb, only issue is that since it’s a LA and not a magnum we have to make whole new mounts because my truck came with a magnum v6. Hoping it’ll do around 300hp/320tq to the wheels, it’s a 89 dakota, later in the future when I can perfect the truck I’ll bulletproof the engine to take a 6-71 blower if I can find a kit for it
Sounds like a great project! Thanks for watching
Very impressive especially for non-stroked 360. Made me a little dissappointed in the numbers for my roller cam 408 at 491hp and 521 lb/ft running Edelbrock heads and dual plane manifold.
Ya it really shows how good these heads are. You would make big power of you did a head and intake swap :) thanks for watching.
I got the same set up with a stroker kit. Getting a torque storm for it
Oh nice! 👍🏻
Damn dude I just got these heads last month . I was planning on building a mean 390 stroker mostly for street use but numbers like that from stock bottom is making me not even want to go stroked
Crazy right. Stroking it won’t hurt it all! I am using a solid roller cam. It’s a lot for street use.
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop I finally got my build finished man! Went with 360/408 w/trickflow 10:1 comp , hyd roller, 750 dub pump, with a very nice street cam.It made 490hp and 500tq w/ full pulley system! Gonna be one fun 4 speed truck!
@@Zachsmoparandmashedpotatos right on man! Sounds great! Have some fun with that!
Great vid pal
In that first run it looks like the water pump sucked the hose into a vacuum!
Wow man , serious lift , did you see that lower rad hose flatten out!
Good afternoon buddy here in Pennsylvania. It’s 1202. Sorry to bother you on a Sunday when you were building your stroke of motor and you made 580 hp. What cam did you use if you don’t mind me asking
@@frankvottiero8704 same cam. Full build specs are in video. Thanks for watching
There's an almost identical 360 in my profile pic car. Same block, pistons, intake, carb and even the damn oil pan and valve covers. I have Edelbrock heads and a smaller cam with regular adj. rockers though.
Nice build, loved it
👍🏻
NICE, NICE, NICE!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
sweet peas, i have A body duster would love some day to have one built for street. J.P. MOPAR
What a vicious combo. Couple questions - when you zero decked, did you have to cut the heads or intake to make them fit and do you use the paper gaskets on the valley pan? Second do you run power brakes? I would guess that’s way too much duration and not enough vacuum, curious about your setup. Also is this the dawn of the beard????
Didn’t have to cut heads or intake they generally fit good with a zero deck and .040 compressed gasket. No power brakes or anything that use vacuum on motor. Lol yes this is the start, I love that you are going thru the vids from back to front. This was the start of Covid and I stopped shaving and getting hair cuts lol enjoy! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😂
Got a 340 going together with these heads, 305H cam-253 and 253 @.50, right around 10.85:1 compression. Should be a real screamer, gonna be cradled by a set of 180 degree headers, no Dyno, but I think it's gonna sound killer too.
Sounds nice. Will be a fun ride. Thanks for watching
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop I'll put up a video after the headers are done. Thanks for sharing your 360 build.
👍🏻
It looks like your bottom rad hose is collapsing. Beautiful car.
Water system is pressurized on dyno. Thanks for watching subscribe to follow the build!
Seen the lower radiator hose suck flat at 7min 20 sec..
Might lose some cooling and bring the numbers down a tad...?
I'm going to copy this great build but hopefully more HP with a better crank and rods. 98 Ram about to be Screaming like my trans Am🤣
Bigger crank will get more power!
Stock bottom end means stock pistons too... so not quite but we get it, it's a low buck shortblock
Very nice brother God bless from Canada eh i have a 360 in my 83 d150 step side and it is great mild build for street 10:1 compression ratio 300 HP and torq
👍🏻🇨🇦 thanks for watching
oh i seen another old video, i did not like drag racing with the flex fan set up when i had my Cuda. i removed it and went to moroso driven electric, and shaved .3 off my E.T.(Maybe was due to pump also) from stock 440 i had
I guess you noticed how the lower water pump hose collapsed when the motor was revving.
Yes. System is pressurized by dyno.
Awesome video. Love your channel! I’m building a similar engine combo, pretty big cam though. Would you say the 750 DP was right or could you of gone up to an 850 DP? Looking to buy one and trying to get opinions on them
We did try an 850 but saw no gain with it. Bigger cam may pick up some with more carb tho. Thanks for watching more vids coming soon!
It sounds sooo good
True 🎶😎
I'd like to have that in a little 64 or 65 Barracutie. Everybody knows those either had a slant y or maybe a 273. It'd be a great sleeper.
I agree! Thanks for watching. The motor is my dart now. Check out some other vids!
This is literally my exact build plan for my 360 rebuild. Heads, cam, rockers, all of it. One question, what thickness head gasket did you use? This is my first time building a motor and I’m having a hard time finding answers for gasket thickness to use.
Right on! Gaskets were 0.040 compressed. Check out the stroker version I did after this!
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop 👍👍will do man
Hello from Buffalo New York.
I’m currently on my way to something similar to what you built.
360 hypertectic pistons.
Compression will be slightly over 10-1. Full engine bottom end balance. Rods ,pistons, crank all balanced. I’m going with magnum heads. Cleaned up , new valves springs , not sure about the guides
My engine builder knows that stuff.
My questions are what lifter goes use?
Push rod?
I’m going with a comp cams hydraulic flat tapper.
Also, I wanted to use an old school tunnel ram with single 4 bbl.
but I was told it won’t work because of intake bolts arrangement.
That sucks. I was also told there are ways to make the intake work.
What do you think ?
I hope my engine rocks out the horsepower as much as your does.
It’s going in 74 Duster w built 904.
So we will see I guess.
Thank you for any and all info you can pass my way.
Hey there. Sounds like a nice build but yes magnum engines use different intakes. I would suggest ditching the magnum heads and getting the trick flows. Then you can use a tunnel ram (LA bolt pattern). You won’t get anywhere near 500 hp with those heads anyway. You will prob be like 420 hp or 450 with a solid roller cam. Watch my video on the trick flow heads. Thanks for watching
Nice set up,I have a 360,also,may I asked where did you get the heads,and rockers,if you have part numbers that would be great
Everything bought thru summit racing you select heads complete with spring based on your cam. Watch my vid on these heads for more info thanks for watching
I have a 96 360 magnum engine I'm thinking of building on a stock bottom end.
Damn dude stock bottom end awesome not too many people build Mopar motors in my opinion I just bought a truck with a 318 already making my wish list do you think stock bottom end on a 318 with some decent heads and a cam would make 400 horse?
These heads amd solid roller cam you may get there!
Collector extensions might be a good idea.
I agree.
That’s one badass small block! Just got mine running
Nice! Thanks for watching
This is the older LA block right, have you worked with the 360 magnum any? I have a 2000 durango r/t 5.9 id love to find some good flowing heads like you used on the LA. Great video btw.
These heads will actually fit the magnum engines as well! You just buy the correct rockers from Harland Sharp for the oiling to work correctly but then you can LA intake with them! Best of both worlds. I have a video about these heads check it out! And thanks for watching.
They need a spring in that lower hose....
Sucking closed is gonna make the motor loose hp cause its pulling harder, and could over heat it as well.
System is pressurized on dyno. Wouldn’t lose hp because of it and the engine runs nice and cool at track and street. Thanks for watching
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop
Thanks for answering me man, thats a nice engine.
Not trying to dog ya or start a net fight...
But cooling systems are pressurized in the car as well, and they still have a lower hose spring.
Think about an air or water hose, or a brake line, they got pressure. When ya pinch em they still restrict, or stop flow.
Any how nice power and engine combo, more mopar the better. Later man
👍🏻 you are right that both systems are pressurized, my low hose on car does have a spring so it dosnt collapse. That was just a dyno hose. Thanks for checking out the vid bro
Did you play with the cam timing at all? Nice build.
No cam timing wasn’t played with. Cam was degreed in tho.
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop I can't help but wonder, please don't mis-understand: with some minor porting and some more compression and playing with the cam timing if you can Crack 600.
@@joeinmi8671 the heads are CNC ported. Cam timing is certainly not worth 70hp.
SUGGESTION: DIRECT CONNECTION MOPAR 360 CRATE MOTOR.
How do you think that combo would work with a 408 stroker
Nice build what is the compression and headers size
Compression was. Upper 10s and headers are tti 1 5/8 step tho 1 3/4 in car. I think that’s what we used on dyno but may have been 1 7/8 tti. Check out my new motor dyno vid!
Good stuff mate! Video well done too! What tunnel ram are you going to try? I’m super keen to see the results of that!
I have a edelbrock tr5 for small block mopar twin 660 center squirters on it. I wish I had more time!
SimpsonsSpeedShop ohh man!!! That’s the same manifold I have sourced for my build! Now I really wish you had a chance to test it!!! Have you got the big plenum version? That’s what I have and it’s a mean looking manifold!
I think you can run like a small plenum of like a tr1y from a chev
I have the small plenum version. If you have Instagram I have pics from like 3 years ago when it was on the car. Was bad ass.
Very nice, always liked my 360. Didn’t make over 500 hp though!!
👍🏻 wait on my stroker build
You still have the issue of the bad lifter geometry! If you are gonna really turn one up you need main studs and rock hard in the bottom of the block! A much better street set up would be a milder hydraulic roller and a boosted version using a forged components and about 12 pounds of boost with fuel injection. That combo would make more power as well as far better torque down low with great street manners and much improved driveability!
Ya you should do it and post the video. I’ll check it out.
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop We are in the process of installing 5.7 hemi removed from a wrecked 2017 Challenger into a 55 Chevy. We took everything...8 speed, engine, wiring harness, 8.4 touch screen and complete dash. Using a 3.50 rear from an Explorer. Going bone stock to begin with while we iron out all the bugs. Once we are happy we intend to convert it to an all forged 410 inch combo with a Whipple, mild cam and 12 pounds of boost. Best we can determine the 55 is 475 pounds lighter than the donor Challenger. We want to end up with a comfortable classic 4 door for road trips that will go anywhere with cold A/C blowing and run honest 11s on street all season tires. I build computer controlled ice vending towers for a living, but love crazy projects like this one to relax with.
That whipple will cost the same as my complete build.
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop Yes. I want to use a V3 Vortech like the unit on the Ripp supercharged V6 kits with their intercooler as well. The owner wants the Whipple. His money and his plan. I would use the stock motor with a blower cam and just run 6 to 8 pounds of boost. I personally think that would give him great performance without the extra expense.
