Thanks, you're too kind. I got my tool at a garage sale for 35 bucks some years back, and it looked like it wasn't even used !! Appreciate you watching, and good luck with your race coming up !
This is one of the best channels on UA-cam and I own a different breed but love this channel, This is a real budget way to make a fun hotrod without breaking the bank. Even though we know that you could build a pro mod car💸💸 🤣jk... you stick with the little guy's builds 😁
@@318willrun that's right and you have or had a mustang at one point so you're a little partial to Ford as I used to have a 96 dodge single cab truck with a 360 in it and it sounded really good and had pretty good power to be a stock truck and if my ex hadn't took it with her I would have either built it or at least put a h/c/i combo on it to make it really fun, I loved it and it ran really good, my dad liked it as well and told me that I needed to keep it right before he passed to cancer , that was his favorite ride that I had, I didn't have the pinto at the time but im sure that he would have still liked the truck because it was a lil loud and a full size truck with a bigger engine in it and said he felt like king of the road when he drove stuff like that 😂 I often thought about giving it to him and probably would have if cancer hadn't taken him out of no where he was only 57 in good shape before that hit him
That cam (duration @.050" is identical) is very similar to the XE270HR I ran in my first Magnum converted to carb, a 5.2L 318. It ran 8.20s and 30s in the 1/8mi in my '68 Dart with (coincidentally) 4.30 gears! Trapped 86mph!! Same kind of build, springs, cam, intake, headers and a 750 vaccum secondary Holley. Stock bore and re-ringed, hv oil pump and full groove main bearings. Cheap fun, and EVERYONE thought it was a built 340!
Your cam bearing install from the top side of engine was exactly what I was looking for. I have to do the same thing to my 5.9 and wasn’t sure of any issues doing it that way… Great video…. Thanks
Richard Holdener did a magnum dyno run, 5.9 mag 212/218 cam at .480" lift, 114lsa, dual plane intake, 750 carb, headers and he got 349.8hp I think 409 ft lbs need to go back and check tq but that's where your going to be, 350 plus HP mark 👍👍👍
I havent desided wether to keep the 78 LA 360 block I have with a set of 360 J heads with 2.02 valves or just go to a place 45 miles away from me thats like pick n pull salvage yard on steroids and for 150 bucks pull a 5.9 360 magnum . all they ask is a core and it can be any size engine from out anything as long as it ran on gasoline .
Ha ha this is what you were talking about the other day when you said that drag truck got a little attention, kinda sorta " That is cool and with the 110 lsa on the cam it will sound really good, if you really want to go wild put some 1.72 rockers in it 😁 but what you got will do the trick just fine and I can't wait to hear it, I bet it will sound really good, didn't you do a little porting on the heads?, i can't remember but that will make drag truck really fun to drive especially when you put that 450 shot of nitrous on it like you said it was going to get 😜 😁
There are a few things to look out for when you are using a magnum, a good source of info is magnum swap info, google it. There are bits that you will need to grind off so the starter will clear and most headers will hit a boss on the block you will need to grind or remove with a cutting disk. Just pre fit everything before you put in truck as to hard to do when in truck. How do I know about these things in NZ, hmmmm I have a magnum in my old USA car :) Thanks Bruce from NZ
Nice job! I’ve ‘heard’ several times that Magnum cam bearings are usually bad and need replacing. Sure enough, I bought a 60k mileage Magnum, took a look and yup, one of them had chunks missing lol. I’ll be replacing them too. On a side note, I’m sure you’re watching Richard Holdener’s Magnum dyno series?
@@318willrun Yup, 301hp/400tq with headers, intake, carb. Added 212/218 cam and it jumped to 349.8hp and increased torque throughout entire rpm range. 418 peak tq. Not bad for STOCK heads and truck cam. 😆
Hey boss- so i just rebuilt my 318. Machine shop put the new bearings in. Im not getting oil pressure to the drivers side oil galley. Coukd this be due to a incorrectly installed bearing
Thanks for watching ! The rear bearing looked good and I didn't see the need to pop the rear plug and install it. Remember, this is what we call a "grenade 360". We aren't pulling the pan. Roadkill style LOL
You made a video to where you installed a new Dodge RT Cam in your 360 5.9l motor.. I'm trying to find that video to get and write down the Part Number.. I want to purchase this RT Cam and do the same to my block.. Can you please Help me out with this CAM product I am looking for.. Thank you Sir,...Cecil....
Well done Sir .... I’ve taken engines apart where the oil holes were not lined up well at all...👍🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Nicely done!
Thanks for the visit
Thanks for these type of videos. They are pure Gold. The Internet Thanks you 318.🤘

Great work! just did the cam bearings in a 5.9l magnum I'm building for my Van. Similar cam specs too. Cant wait to see this thing running
Alright, a Van !!!! Thanks for watching !!
Great job explaining how to do this. I have to redo mine in a 318 because I had the tool tightened too tight. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching !
Nice cam for street and strip.
Good job on the bearings! 👍
I've never done that before.
Thank you !!!

I have to do the same thing to my 5.9 and wasn’t sure of any issues doing it that way…
Great video…. Thanks
Great job man bought the cam tool back when they were available at Harbor freight if you can believe that! Works good too.
Thanks !! Yeah, don't use them very often as a hobbyist, but when you need them nothing can replace them !!!
Great video! Great job! Thank's for sharing it with us!
As always, thanks for watching!

Your are correct on grinding the for head fitment, but... I'm hoping the truck headers clear it .. Thanks for watching !!

Hey boss- so i just rebuilt my 318. Machine shop put the new bearings in. Im not getting oil pressure to the drivers side oil galley. Coukd this be due to a incorrectly installed bearing
Is this a running engine? If not, did you rotate the engine very slowly while priming the oil pump?
Are you worried about spring bind? Enjoyed the video.
Hughes spring kit says it's good on stock mag heads to .550 ??? I can't remember off the top...
I'm getting ready to have to do this did you have to do the far rear bearing or did it look good enough to reuse?
Thanks for watching ! The rear bearing looked good and I didn't see the need to pop the rear plug and install it. Remember, this is what we call a "grenade 360". We aren't pulling the pan. Roadkill style LOL
@@318willrun Thanks for the reply ! I appreciate what your doing and love your channel !
Why did you go with the 5.9 magnum over the LA 360?
It's because it's what became available. Love the LA's. Roller cam and mag heads is a good set up as well ! Thanks for watching !
Where did you get your Clevite cam bearings? I can only find sealed power and enginetech. Do you have a part #? Thanks
I usually order my parts through summit or rockauto. I can't remember which one for this engine.
Four months late but the Sh875S works at ORielly's this is only for the 318-360 LA motors though
What year is this Magnum block?
2000 I believe.
👍💪✅

the cam that went into the Bombcycle (5.9) was a regrind cam from Oregon Cam Grinders. I posted the cam card in one of them videos.
About 350hp
Our guess (or hope) is 340-350, so right on ! Thanks for watching !
What valve springs are you running ?
The Hughes 1110 spring kit
@@318willrun I've been trying to get a set sent to Canada but their always on backorder , gonna have to settle with comp springs 😕
Looks like you put the cam in dry.
I put oil on the cam bearing journals. Thanks for watching !
Rule #1 of buying a junkyard LS: dont look at the cam bearings.
LOL... thanks for watching !
