Well I'm just an update I installed the motor started it ran for 2 seconds shut it down and it seized up yeah spent this weekend pulling it out and putting my 3:18 back :mad: I took off the heads and the oil pan that's as far as I got don't know what's wrong nothing yet put my other motor in...

I just found the problem flexplate I have is the wrong one it comes out too far. It hits the solenoid part of the ring gear when it extends. Thanks

I did double check all the bolts and dowels everything's fine. The gears are coming out and I even have an extra starter I tried it's just off by a millimeter so I might try boring out the starter holes and moving in a smidgen see what happens at least try to fire up the motor and see if it vibrates

Thanks I was trying out all day yesterday I rid putting some shims in I took off the dust shield to see and they are just off a little bit is very baffling thanks for your help

Hi everyone I've been pulling my hair out ever since I dropped in my 360 into my 74 Challenge. Car originally had a 318. I kept the 904 transmission the 360 had been internally balanced but when I put it back together the starter does not align with the flywheel. It hits the front and Spins...

Okay finally found time to drop in the motor and got all ready to go and when I hit the starter it will not engage the flywheel I kept the 904 transmission got the flex plate and the gears will not mesh can't figure out why very frustrated at this point I appreciate any help

Thanks for all the information. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier my question if I were to use the 904 transmission what do I do about the torque converter i know the 360 is externally balanced. I read somewhere online a guy who said he learned long ago when he was an apprentice he just...

Thank you very much for the information it's very helpful the picture of the transmission is the old one. I believe its at 904 its only 30 inches long. I got the 727 transmission with the engine I picked up and like I said it was out of the truck and I was going to mate them together and just...

Hi everyone, I am replacing my 318 with a 360 I picked up and had a few questions. My car has the 904 trans and the 727 I got with the motor came out of a 89' dodge truck, the casting # on the trans is PK3898866 5638 7938. I cant seem to decipher this # as I don't know if this is original to the...

That's what I'm thinking. I don't think it's the original so no point of it taking up space in the garage. I'm going to try out the new motor and just sell this one. Thanks to all for your help.

No there's no other number then the engine casting stamp

Hi everyone, I was in the process of swapping my 318 motor in my 1974 Challenger for a 360 I picked up. Under some grime I found this sticker. The guy I bought the car from said he believed it was the original. The car was missing the fender tags. I don't know if this means that they...
