Title Page:
The first Mopar crate engine was based on the 360 production engine but had some performance parts added to increase its output to 360 hp. A few years later, Mopar added the 6-barrel crate engine (still a 360) to the lineup.
Back Cover Photos
Top Left:
The stock Mopar small-block has a secondary oil feed from the main bearing shell to the cam bearings. When building an engine for high performance or rebuild, always be sure these passages are not blocked or restricted.
Top Right:
The A-engine and Magnum are fitted with either hydraulic or mechanical rockers. Production A-engine and Magnum valvetrains look similar because they are both hydraulic and center on stamped steel rocker arms. This A-engine with adjustable mechanical rockers has aluminum roller-tip rockers.
Middle:
The cast-iron Indy A-engine cylinder head uses both exhaust manifold–attaching patterns. The stock one is close to the ports and the wide one was used on the W2 original heads. As a precaution, I recommend plugging the holes that you do not use on the W2 with small Allen screws.
Bottom:
Many Holley-based carburetors have two float bowls and two fuel entrances. With this configuration, you should use a fuel-line setup similar to this. Several kits are available for these Holleys that make the extra plumbing easy to organize.
