318 gurus/historians

Has this place all about yammering on about 318s incessantly now...? I'm taking up model railroading...LOL! :lol:
Nothing wrong with a good ol teen. A few tweaks, and good common sense, and you get a nice, efficient little mill that will just cry out to have more beatings unleashed upon it. Go ahead, spin it 6500. If it finally does decide to let go, a good core can be bought for 200 or less. Treat it to a minimalist backyard overhaul, just bearings, rings, and gaskets. If you shop around, you should be able to get by with 300 or less in the overhaul. Toss it in and go thrash some more. And that right there is the beauty of the 318. They can be beaten without mercy, and will often amaze everyone at just how long they will take those beatings. And the peace of mind that 500 or less will replace most of what you will ever break means that there is no stress or worry. Truly the ZFG unsung hero of Mopar engines.
