Stop in for a cup of coffee

I've been putting allot of thought into it and i am going for HOT STREET TRUCK. That would be my best bet I think. From what I have gathered about the 318 I don't think i will stroke it only upgrades to what stock 318 engine block i have. With that being said i guess I still want it to be FIREY for the roads!

Um, no- that's a big block Chevy crankshaft.

I thought you didn't want a stroker? This crank is 4.00 stroke, stock is 3.31.

Spend some time with the "search" function- go to the "Small Block Mopar Engine" forum, click on the search button, enter "318 build", select "this forum" and you'll get enough results to keep you reading for a few nights... and you'll have a bunch of ideas to narrow down what you really want and or need, not to mention what you can afford to do. As the old saying goes: "How fast do you want to go? How much money do you have?"
Here's one to get you started:
Inputs on a home built 318 for red light to red light fun
 
Went for a walk and drove out to the Chevy store to look at a pick up. I found a Colorado that looks to be in nice shape. Found a good looking 2011 Dakota 4 door. The wife commented on the fender flares and rust. Well wouldn't you know they took photos of the truck when it came in and the box side wheel arches were rusted. They just covered it up with the flares. Lipstick on a pig.

Lets see,buddy showed up with his atv,we put in a lawn tractor battery,way more power than original type and 1/2 the price. Better for plowing snow. Then changed winch control, from rotary to solenoid control and mounted switch on handlebar. Ready for winter.
Then went and tried to start Charlie’s truck. It was purely uneventful. And asses a few things. Set the box on it too. Drove it into storage shed, so it runs/drives. Darn clutch pedal rubs floor, makes driving it not easy, hard to feather clutch. All stuff i need to deal with in spring.
Sold a couple more pieces, sickle mower and a feed mill. Another 700 into the parts fund.

Well it's bed time so if you all don't mind try to type softly so not to wake me up.....
Sleep good all.
 
My day is just getting started. At the cafe eating breakfast and drinking coffee. Not sure what is in store for today yet. It's always an adventure. Here. :lol:
 
What's up Wildman!
Quite a bit... went to a friend's house yesterday and swapped the trans in the duster. drove it there and drove it home. found out my flex plate was cracked. got the other one off my other 318 and crisis avoided. we also kinda set his shop on fire cleaning the trans fluid off the ground with gas. small enough fire to be funny and to call ourselves dumbasses
 
Like this movie ending, all of us cripples in a race to the death... Dukeboy's wiring 'genious' providing all of the explosions and fire...


Anybody seen anything from Karl after this post ^^^^?
