I'm in southwest va about 2hrs from martinsville. There is a few members from that way I talked to a guy the other day from martinsville. My wife has family from there but iv never been myself.
My 318 is a 86 I'm doing 302 heads as well home port job 340 Intake luniti voodoo cam headers and if I can get the money a street demon carb. I have a 4160 holley if not. I'd like to rebuild the bottom but just dont have the money and the engine ran strong when it was in my truck so I know its not hurt. Its going in a 75 dart swinger soon hoping to have it together by fall.

Mine was out of a truck so I didn't have to deal with the roller cam you can switch to s hydraulic lifter cam with your block you just have have to switch pushrods the rollers ones are shorter. I got a Ford 8.8 rear end with 373. Unfortunately I'm stuck with stock stall for now cant afford anything else lol

Yea nothing wrong with the rollers for sure! I'm gonna run my original 7.25 as long as I can I had plans on doing a 83/4 later on but stumbled upon a thread on here about the 8.8 and just so happen to find one for 100 bucks I couldn't pass it up! I'm gonna take my time with it get the car the way I want it then start with the rear. The 7.25 has 2.76 gears so the 373 will be a positive step when ever i get to it. I have 360 core waiting whenever i can afford to have it gone thru. It may never get done haha
 
you guys keep it up, you are looking good and spending wisely and not overdooing it having to redoo it
ford rear end much less hassel and weight than dana and should be fine - actually that 7' should work ok with a stockish converter and no trans brake etc
