Putting my 74 360 together got all my freeze plugs in and oil galley plugs except the one under the rear main cap as my kit did't come with it (not happy)
So the oil galley plugs are

2 in front behind cam plate
1 under oil filter plate
1 inside near dist bushing
3 in rear
1 under #5 main cap

Also does anyone know the factory specs for oil clearance for Mains & Rods?
Getting plastigage tomorrow to check.

 

.0005-.0025 & .0005-.0025

Just an FYI... Plastic gauge, In my opinion SUCK's... Your way better off using a measuring Micrometer...

 

yeah i know plastigage isn't the best thing but it's all i got i did find a piece and it measured right in at .0025 in the machine shop i had the crank polished at said it was probably the best one he's seen in a year lol engine only had 65K original.

 

Mike.... Sounds like you getting ready to get the short block screwed together?
Double check and make sure you got all the holes plugged...
What Piston Rings are you going to run?

 

yes and like i said i'm sure i got all the oil galley plugs in except for the #5 main as i got to get one the kit didn't come with it go figure lol. Rings i'm not sure of shop just did a basic ball hone as we both agreed of how clean and good the cylinders were.
Was gunna go with the MAHLE/CLEVITE with moly ring.

 

Thats good and safe...

 

I don't understand what hole you are talking about Any pictures ? The dist drive gear goes thru a hole ?? in the rear main

 

The oil filter bypass plug. Directs the oil to the filter.

 

That's the one even tho i can't seem to see any hole in the under side of where the plug go's my 87 block has it but this is a 74 block

 

Run a wire down oil pressure sender hole. If it stops, the plug is in. Very few shops knock it out.

 

I've must of been tired last night I looked again and in fact it is still in there like you said I used a zip tie in the oil psi hole and measured at 7 1/2" so it's in.

On another note my cam retainer plate never had 1 of the bolts drilled for oil to leak from the lifter valley to the timing chain. I got a spare bolt I should be able to just drill say a 3/32 hole and be good?

 

Somewhere along the line, Chrysler stopped drilling the bolt. I have always drilled/made one. Be careful tightening it and use some thread locker.
