Yeah, it's got a steel crank. Hope it can be used, if not, I have another, but it's 20under.... Prob just order new one. My 318 in the boat now is RH rotation with a auto crank. It doesn't leak too bad, but the RH crank I had was broken. I do wonder if I should pitch the oil cooler, todays oils...

Thanks steve, I have some old truck 383s I'll tear apart. Moe, I'm going from RH to LH rotation to get away from that backwards spinning crap. I hope I can use that steel crank, so I don't have to buy one.

Ssba, where do you live?

Will a set off a 383 work? I don't have my b-rb book anymore. I know they fit, but do the 383 heads have a dif chamber volume. Or is it like sb, and it's just a casting #

Crisp = efficiency. I'm sure I could find a set of old heads up here. I like crisp. That's why my 390 has 302 heads.

No seawater til the exhaust. Even the manifolds are closed cooling.

I like the 413 idea because of that small bore thick block. :-) y'all think i'd be better off with iron heads w small valves for a low rpm range?

Thank you challenger. I figured a set of custom pistons were in order. So that's doable. Who would know what compression I would need to run 87, with a 160f thermostat. I was thinking 9-1 at first. As far as the cam, I was wanting to go short duration higher lift solid tappet. With a narrow lcl...

Alright, so, it's RB time. My 30' long boat is tired of having a single 318 in it, and so am I. (SLOW) I just picked up na industrial, with the big heads, diagonal exhaust bolts, etc. BEcause I have been driving my *** off and not thinking about MOPARS in so long, I need you guys to double check...

Well, fix it! You don't want to go further than fairbanks right now. Muuuddy! Got freightliner?

Man. That pavement sure looks nice. Sometimes I get sick of my job.

I had hyper pistons once. Got 7 good ones, look like new, 3.94 bore. Now I have a sleeve and ross. My ross were custom order. Hard to get a 318 bore piston, 9.5-1, for 302 heads. Lol. Wiseco has always made great pistons.

I got two a year ago. Nobody buys them anymore.. Because old tech must be bad tech, even tho i'll put my money on a small port offey vs any dual plane EB, weiand DP manifold. Doesn't hurt to call.

I bet summit has a small port offenhauser dual port. Old tech, but great mpg vs power. Put a 500 edelbrock on it, a new chain, and enjoy.

If you cruise on a cloudy day with a 160f thermostat, you'll have the same problem with any piston-bore.
