HMMM, went on Summit looking for oil pans. For the stock replacement pans Milodon is showing stock stroke but for the 360 street strip pans its showing max 4 inch stroke!
Now I am sure the other pans may clear the crank but Brain was saying the oil widage is a heavy drag on the 4 inch crank with a stock pan.
Its like he tells you want you should know, not just trys to sell you a motor.
True, true. Sometimes people can change their minds once they hear all facts / costs involved. Brain doesn't seem like that.
We started off last night talking about doing a 318 block with a 4 inch bore like a stock 360 and was saying every block is sonic tested to make sure a min of .120 thickness is there but I was like what is stronger. A 318 bored .090 or a 360 bored .030. He went well if your going to beat on it then the 360 is a bit stronger. (what I thought)
Talk about water pumps, he goes just buy any aluminum one at your local parts store. Don't under drive it. I explain how I was having a problem with my power steering belt at 6,500+ rpms staying on and went with a under pulley. Goes well then get the Mopar 8 blade pump--no talk how the belt should stay on..my pulleys are a bit uneven but it was easier to switch to the under drive pulley.
Was on the phone for over 12 mins. M.M. was quickly quick with me and the longest I was on was like 5 mins and that included a sales pitch talk.
