    Keep it stock, or make it your own?

    That's called restomod or restified. Restored and modified. Stock looking but built to go.

    318 rebuild Bonehead mistakes/misses and questions

    Crocus cloth is an abrasive sheet similar to sand paper or emery cloth but covered with a layer of very fine loose iron oxide particles rather than with bound grains of abrasive. It is intended for final metal and gemstone finishing and is available in various grades (particle sizes). Silicon...

    318 rebuild Bonehead mistakes/misses and questions

    After 15 years in the business, I like your "just right" answer. There is a certain feel to the cylinder walls fresh from the hone. But trying to convey that over this forum is hard. It is rougher than glass but smother than 600 grit sand paper. Experience is the best teacher. Pull that one...

    Opinions please

    You have a loose wire somewhere. On my 68 Dart, I had one very similar to this. There is a firewall junction block that controls most everything up front. It could also be a loose battery terminal. Check every connection starting at the battery twice. Don't assume anything is good till you check...

    I got this from a book called How to build BIG inch Mopar small blocks. I know Barnes and Nobles has it. A 4.04in bore with a 4.25 crank will get you 435 ci. if you want as close to 426 as you can get, you need a 4.2 crank and a 4.02 bore, or a 4.15 in crank and a 4.045 in bore. A 4.1 in stroke...

    Nope, they won't. But if I remember correctly years ago they did make bearing to correct that problem. Or you could jump up to 408 ci with the 360. Might cost less than a 340 block. And availability is on your side.

    Unless you are doing a numbers matching car there's no need for the 340 block. A 360, punched to .040in and a 318 crank will get you there. But why do that when you can do 368 ci or more with the .040 bore and a stroker crank. Just thinking.
