on that combo with the J's you'll probably come in around 9.5 compression which is kind of the low side of what i'd want on a .500 lift cam i personally wouldn't be springing for new rockers on something that i was just kinda piecing together. especially if i was still going to rock the stock...

i'd ask what the application was, what heads you had, what the rest of the combo was and why you would want that much lift.

IF i was going to do this, i'd leave the stock fill tube in the tank-- the whole gasket/tube thing is a ball ache, so best to avoid disturbing that. i'd couple into the fill tube. but here's the deal, modern cars fill smooth because of the interface of the cap lock, nozzle and vapor sleeve...

every once in awhile i'll hit on one!

it'd probably be pretty decent in a 360, especially if it had a hair more compression than a stock wheezer. it's about two ticks above a stock 340 cam, which is what a stock 4bbl 360 got... so think about how those ran. a little aggro for a 318 if you didn't have some stall and gear to back it...

you'll never find it searching "driveshaft"... you need the proper nomenclature... propeller shaft 53.4 CUJ to CUJ or 56.17 flange to rear CUJ

hold plz...

is it not in the FSM? have you not consulted the tomes?

honestly, at this point i can't keep up with what's going on. so thanks for somewhat clarifying. the thread is about a 318, then you're on about a 360 and now it's something on a 340. in the future, my suggestion would be if you want pointed advice is to ask clear and concise questions and not...

with CA pumps you can't let them run automatically or hands free. pull the foreskin vapor boot back get the spout in with a little english on it and pump slow. or be prepared to go full tilt. no half stepping.

why are you so concerned about a cast v forged crank? unless you're going to be hitting it with the giggle gas or spinning it to the moon i'd rock the cast crank and not worry about it. and even then, i'd be more concerned over a multitude of other things before i was even thinking about the...

near impossible to give a solid estimation on purchase off one gas station photo and some questionable description from the seller. to me any 4dr at that price point better be minty. so the whole: needs a headliner and the whole "needs minor things" "needs a tune up" "has this weird tap..." has...

the old: under promise and over deliver smort. noice.

i don't think you'd be able to do it without seriously compromising the structural integrity of the manifold attachment points.
