sdrt Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Ive been doing a ton of research on swapping in a magnum 360 and 5 speed in mine. It would be awesome to see what you have figured out. Especially if your keeping it injected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txc-360 Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Summer is nice up here lol. I grew up in Minnesota so the weather is nothing new. If your broke and need a job there is tons up here. Lots of oil. I'm not keeping it fuel injected. I like carburetors. Sound cool, fun to tune, kinda a dying thing. My dayly driver right now is a 74 dodge power wagon. 383 b block, arp head studs main studs, torquer 2 high rise single plane, carter afb comp series, hooker full tube headers. It's a 68 block so already a 9.5 ratio with forged internals. Just made a strong engine and not quite laughable mpg yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txc-360 Posted December 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Oh also if anyone has diesel questions for anything I do have some knowledge there, I don't consider myself an expert but I do work for a cat dealer here in North Dakota. Also took a light duty diesel course at wyotech a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Nice. My grandparents and cousins are from Bismarck, been there a bunch of times. Good luck with the swap, don't crush the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txc-360 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 If you don't mind me asking what's their last name? I'm not from here but I have family from here. Sdrt what year and do you have a np-203 in either of them? Oh and tech no I would never crush it. It sat in my friends shop for the past 5 years and finally I'm getting money for it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txc-360 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Beings I'm still limited to post in the newbie section I'll put updates here. Bought a different engine for the quest. 78 360 that has 45,000 on it with a RV cam. Don't sound like much but it's a fairly fresh engine and light cam. Figure I'll rebuild the magnum heads I have and put them on there. Way cheaper and still decent power. Might lope a bit with the rocker ratio difference there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
