I love how so many "expert" commenters can't differentiate between a a daily or a racer. Nor do they understand that cast ring are still used today.

Thank you 1000%!! You saved me probably $300 repair !!

Excellent video you gave all the information I needed thanks, great job.

What about the early aluminum block cars. Did they use one of these heads, or did they have a special head, with possibly performance tweakings, or just standard heads from the cast-iron block. Thanks for opening a can of worms...I've always loved the slant 6.

Is biutifull Upgrade but it will be not stronger than gearbox. Iwill never do this on my mill never 👎 Thanks for sharing video with us

Very complete guide, super helpful..thanks for the upload..:)

This also fits the old 440 engines not drilled gor a 4 speed. The only thing you have to do is cut the input shaft on the transmission. Works great.

i race an 450HP 340 in stock eliminator and run green bearings. no failure

Were would it say 727 0r 904

how accurately does the valve land on the seat ?

What about honing the lifter bores? Needed to be done or not?

I bought a stone hone oike this and thought i shoukd have purchased a ball hone too. Nope. Im going to stick with this type of home .. Great informative video. I'm not even going to look for other video's.... Great job!!!! A+++

Bullshit..

Great video thank you

I’m 2 years late to the party. My comments are absolutely not intended as a criticism at all, I really just to help out anyone watching this video, setup a lathe for brake drums. So, for the benefit of others…Even bungee cords and/or duct tape and rags are enough to stop ringing. The ringing isn’t just a nuisance, it’s audible chatter (not all chatter is audible). Lathe RPM is way too fast. I’m not quite sure about feeds from the video, but if you are constantly losing a good hss edge, SLOW IT ALL DOWN before going to TC. HSS will handle Cast Iron at correct speeds (which makes heat manageable). If you’ve got TC, that’s fine, but for those of you who don’t have access to TC, don’t leave this video feeling like you NEED TC to turn down a brake drum. There is very very few things that can’t be managed with HSS, provided you have the patience. In fact, for the average at home DIY tinkerer machinist, HSS is really all you need. TC can allow you to take deeper cuts at higher speeds/feeds, but if you’ve got the time, HSS will do all the same things (and TC has its downsides too, so it’s not all roses). Having said all that, if your lathe is stuck in a higher gear and low speed is not an option, TC is a brilliant option to get the job done.

360 will have a large cutout on the balancer

Lokks like an eighties 318

They have different engine mount tabs on side of the block

16TPI is not a metric LS.. metric would be some even metric pitch like 1mm, 2mm or 3mm - *NOT 1.5875mm*

Great work as usual. These modifications require so much additional thinking and planning over stock rebuilds. Keep up the excellent work and videos.

Pretty sad when the hardest part of doing a tune up is removing a tap on an electrical plug. Thanks Ford for well thought out design 🙄

Hi there thank you very much for your clear explanation and one question I would like to ask you is how you can replace the winding inside the motor body. Regards, Peter Seperd from Papua New Guinea

My question is do you have to rotate the crankshaft and go through the firing order or just tighten them all to 21ft/lbs without turning the engine?

I live on 20 acres, which is a good thing since when I do stuff like this I don't have close neighbors to hear me yell and cuss.

Thanks

what are the part numbers. I wnet on Rock Auto they show different ball joints , same manufactor. Thanks

Talk about bad work, I sent out a chevy 327 for a full rebuild. After 2,000 miles it started to burn oil. This was almost a year later, the builder said to bad. We got a motor out of a wreck with only 75,000 miles, at the junk yard, and got 8 years of service, with no problems. So before you commit to a rebuilder, do some research check around first.

Where is the $250.00 kit I just went on your link the kits are 1000s of dollars where is the 250 kit ????

Voltage too high or wire feed to slow.

Thank you so much, I'm currently studying automotive mechanics here in my country and today I have an exam regarding this little dude. Even though I already tore down both kinds of starter motors, seeing one that was in bad shape brought back to full operation gave me quite a lot of insight. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and have a splendid day, good sir!

Got a free “360” from one of my dad’s buddy, got to tearing it down ordering parts only to realize the oil pan gasket I ordered was not the same as what I took off… odd. So finally I checked the numbers and it’s a 318. The only thing I’ve orders so far that won’t work is the flywheel luckily. Glad I remembered this video as it helped me double check.

i have tryed loads of kits in past you cant beat the vapor kit with a coating on top like brand new

4 of the holes on the gasket are smaller so you can actually push the bolts through them and they will stay and hold the gasket in place. So no need for any gasket sealant to keep it in place.

Use a Factory service manual. You wasted so much time...

My understanding is that the retarded them by 10 degrees from the factory so you can run lower octane fuel. It was an economy thing.

Excellent video

That turned out nice. Great work!

Thanks for sharing, good idea on saving the old drive end housing.

GOOD VIDEO, BRO

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice….😎

With how much work I plan to do to my '76 d100, I might go bare frame like you have to build it back up. 4x4 swap and a hotter 318 or 360 build with matching built 727. You've made a ton of progress on this project!

Great job and progress. Looking forward to next video and when you fire it up! BTW- Are your work shoes shown at 6:54 safety rated 😂

Thanks

Where did you get your pedal switch

10dB reduction doesnt see worth it.. Maybe if the gears blow up, then get that kit?

Would fine stones and doing this procedure work for moly rings?

i regretted so hard , i wanted this black and decker machine when it was being sold on fb marketplace , i just didnt have the funds then now i cant even find one

Just Check cam timing with the degree wheel folks. Thats how the professionals do it.

Had a np445 professionally rebuilt now it shifts super hard between 1st and second, what would be the problem, they did replace a new synchro, ?
