Thanks, I checked your signature and liked the pictures. Do you have any center caps for them? That was my plan but I can't find any pictures with center caps and chrome Lugs on a charger.

Took my 360 block down to Ray Today, good two hour drive.


We decided to take it out of the trailer and load it into the back of my brother's jeep, but he didn't make it in time so we put it in the back of a Forester.


This was our original plan.



The boards almost snapped when I stood on them so we decided to do it by hand.



I should be picking up the J castings monday, but I leave for work tonight and don't get off till Monday so I will be away for a while.

Project looks good, I think that you may want to retink the 215 tire up front, with the large wheelwells these cars have, a 245/60 fits well, the 215 look puny. (been there, done that)

I hope that you tied that motor down before you took it where it was going. That is alot of weight comming up front if you have to lock up the brakes.

Was that on a 3rd gen? If so, do you have any pictures?

Look at the pic of the block on the dolly. You can see the rust holes threw the freeze plugs. There was so much crud built in there I doubt they leaked! Shocked

You can use a driverside 318 mount on a 360, if you use a spacer.
 
just installed the mounts on my 360  for that spacer I used a 1/2" nut for spacer with threads drilled out to fit on a grade 8 shoulder bolt keeps things tight with no angle to that bolt
