    Some engine questions for you guys restoring V100/V150's

    Rory, thanks for the engine pictures. By any chance do you have a shot of each side of the intake manifold? Also, do you know what model trans is attached to the 361? Is it a 5652 or a 541? Ruppster

    Some engine questions for you guys restoring V100/V150's

    Well, my hope for the M75 distributor was that it had the vacuum port for the governor setup. But from the sounds of it it doesn't so a V100 distributor wouldn't do me any good. Oh well, it was worth a try. Thanks for the info pertaining to it. If you come across an extra intake manifold from...

    Some engine questions for you guys restoring V100/V150's

    Rumpster, huh? Sorry, didn't mean to piss you off. :-D I do owe you an apology though as I did not word my post too well. Sorry about that. I was trying to point out that even in a V100 using a car intake manifold on the 361 would not be a good idea due to the air pocket it would create in the...

    Some engine questions for you guys restoring V100/V150's

    There's one main problem with using a car intake on the commercial Dodge engines as the two are not the same. The car engines have ports to run exhaust gases under the carb while the commercial truck engines have coolant flowing thru the intake under the carb. On top of this there is a fitting...

    Some engine questions for you guys restoring V100/V150's

    The sending unit for the governor is on the end of the camshaft? That's a new one on me. On the commercial trucks Dodge used a special distributor that controlled the flow of vacuum to the governor under the carb. As far as the use of the 4 barrel carb that's good news. Would love to get my...

    Some engine questions for you guys restoring V100/V150's

    Thanks. I'm an old Mopar nut so I know a good amount about the Dodge B and RB engines. And there are a few differences between a 361/383/400 used in a car versus a 361 used in a commercial truck (the heads being one of them). While the blocks are the same the commercial 413's (and some 361's)...

    Some engine questions for you guys restoring V100/V150's

    IIRC the stock engine in the V100 is the Dodge industrial 361 V8. My first question is do they have a 2 barrel or 4 barrel carb? Second, does the carb have a governor under it? For those that are going with another engine does anyone have distributor from a 361 that they want to sell? If so is...
