At least it doesn't say Broader :rolleyes:

If you have a 392, then i would say follow your passion. Do the people selling the stroker kit for $1500 also sell a balanced version of that kit? It would probably cost a bit more, but it would eliminate the need for a machine shop. Although it seems like all you need to get the 318 going now...

I got a replacement timing cover from Mancini a few days ago, luckily I didn't have any issues

Dan was talking about going to see some 318 car last week an hour away with air conditioning, but haven't heard if he came home with it yet, but I hope he did!

Prostock

Does KB still make hypereutectic pistons for that combo? I think if they still do they would use the less desirable thicker 5/64th size rings Having done a stoker build on a 340, I would buy the kit instead of piecemeal like I did. Maybe check out protocol tom in the classifieds. Get the...

Hey just send it, I did the wallace dynamic compression ratio calculator with your 11 to 1 compression ratio and the aforementioned cam I suggested above, which gives you 197.20 cylinder pressure, probably a little too high for comfort even with the speedmaster heads, so I am removing my...

Don't the mounting brackets go behind the ears on the driver's side, and in front of the ears on the passenger side. The photo also shows the passenger side behind the block ears

This is a pretty good all around dd/performance cam for a 360. Good lift to duration, especially with your speedmasters heads and a 1.6 rocker, if that is what you have. A little wide, but good vacuum, street manners, etc.

Thanks for that link, I was holding off asking until I determined if it would be needed. My build which typically go zen like has been going off the rails a bit today mostly due to a not so smart 340 block marketplace purchase by me with issues and trying a new machine shop which left me with...

That was my thought as I was tightening the balancer up as it got closer, but I think it should be good as is. I have rotated it and the balancer is pretty true and does not get any closer

Btw, thanks for taking me over 100 PBR!

Good to know! I am just going to send it, unless I have pulley alignment issues. I bought that damper on sale, but not sure if I would purchase it again I have been happy with the summit branded SFI dampers in the past

I know it has been discussed before about trick flow's harmonic balancer being bigger and heavier than most, but I wanted to post an image of how close it actually is to the timing marks on the timing cover, .024". With crankshaft end player, that brings it down to. 019"

I did a low budget 318 build a few years ago. Nothing special kb167, a xe250 cam, performer intake, summit 600 carb, summit ready to run distributor, hooked headers. I avoided machine shop charges by using stock bore size and used a .028 head gasket. Heads were just stock 302's. I didn't...
