    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    This was a bit more than a carb/ intake swap but it is on a 318. For MY purposes it was a huge wake up for that engine. 83 D250 2wd 727 3.23 and 32" rubber (235/85-16 10 ply). It ran more than decent for what it was and how it got used stock, as I bought it. I swapped EQ heads into it, a...

    Timing Chain Cover crankshaft opening is the wrong size

    For less you can send it to one of 2 places and have it remanned. Damper doctor and damper dudes. I've used both. And you will prevent another "made in China" part from going on your car . .

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    But if you have another reason ( such as "need to replace the carb anyway because existing one is a lean burn version that doesn't have provision for vac advance nipple...) go for it, it definitely won't hurt. I'm in exactly that position with my 78 fury.

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    Depends on the particular 4 barrel I had one one time that was completely bone stock, in a heavy Cordoba with 2.76 gears and swapping out only for a 2bbl 360 carb from the original (engine was a junkyard pull verified 40k mile lean burn engine, I put the original {dead} 360's intake carb and...

    What cam to use in a 318

    Of all people you should know ... Just say on the mild side .. Also because cam numbers still make my head spin... I've tried and tried and tried to understand them

    What cam to use in a 318

    For street/ cruiser purposes I tend to stay in the RV cam range. Still a noticeable improvement over factory stock.

    70 Maverick came home

    That AMC wagon you got is cool too. Ive never been a Ford fan but I'd so rather drive a 70s maverick than the sorry excuse that Ford is currently calling a "maverick" Id rather even drive a pinto than anything Ford sells new today

    Vin trouble

    That 5th digit can't be an "0" I think aspens started with N, volares started with an H I could have that reversed. Haven't looked at the vin on mine lately. Looks like you bought a 78 Aspen. 5th digit is a letter that designates original engine size. Sure it isn't a "c" which would mean a...
