My 66 Charger came with a 360 with a 1973 date code. I have no idea what has been done to this engine prior to my ownership. I upgraded the front end to Disk brakes and a Borgeson power steering unit. While bolting my new Power Steering pump in the bolts that bolt into the water jacket pulled...
Two questions please.
1. Can a rebuilt stroked engine with 100 miles on engine but only 30 miles on recent oil change have dirty oil on dipstick? See pics for plug and soot on my finger from exhaust pipe.
Car has only been driven easy do to other issues such as brakes.
2. If the engine is a...
Greetings! I did my first oil change on a big block Mopar last night. I looked up the recommended filter for my car and came up with the WIX 51515. After draining the oil I removed the old filter, put a little oil on the new filter gasket, and tried to install it. Note: I didn't fill it with oil...
Oil pressure gauge sending units have such a varied price range. Is this a true example of ‘get what you pay for’. Or is manufacturer more important for accurate readout? NOS could be fine but not critical. Thanks! :thankyou:
i have a 360 that came out of a 1990 d150. im putting the engine into a 1973 charger. What type of oil pan would i need. Are all oil pans the same? can i just find an oil pan for a 360 for a b body and that will work or will it differ because of the motor year?
I went to check my oil level because I noticed a little more oil under the car than usual. Found that the dipstick and dipstick holder (not sure what it’s cslled) are not even connected to the engine block. Just hanging there. No idea when this happened. Drove it yesterday just fine.
I was...
Wally world has 15w40 Rotella T4 for $71 - 5gal right now at a rollback price. That's $14.20 a gal which is a real good price for here. Might be different elsewhere I don't know. That's what I run in my 18 Cummins diesel.
Robot or human?
I was reading my email from Motor1, and I read about oil testing.

I'm getting my 71 Satellite ready for a drag race in September. It's currently running the stock oil pan. I'd like to get a decent oil pan with good baffling that won't drag the ground or cause fitment issues as this car will be returning to street duty after this race. What are you small...
We have a big block that I want to slap together. It has all the parts in boxes. We thought we'd hone the cylinders and I suppose we should use some light oil but what kind/weight oil?
Hi Guys,
I have a 64 Polara running an Indy 528 Street Legend Hemi. It is has Milodon Deep Sump 7 quart oil pan with the Milodon big block mopar dipstick with flexible tubing.
During standard oil check maintenance, the dipstick connected with something and the last 3 inches of the dipstick...
Is there a reason for an oyster type oil pick up opening as apposed to a boxed opening like the one below in the second image?
It seems the stock oyster type has very small reservoir provisions to hold oil? Am I correct?
Does the shape depend on the types of baffles/trap doors that the oil pan...
So I’m asking this question because I’m wondering what are some of the details of let’s say the Chrysler LA small block that makes it different than a GM small block from the builders perspective.
Can a Chrysler guy build a good GM engine and can a GM guy build a good Chrysler engine? This when...
