Yes I would have to agree, sounds identical. At first when I saw all the little things it really didn't mean much. It was the timing marks on the balancer that finally made me go, what do I have here? So it's cool. I'm making the truck into my daily driver to save miles on my 2500 which will...

It was orange at one point. I found traces of orange paint on the back of the heads. I wonder what it came out of?

Yeah after some time to do some research, no X on the front of the block, so nothing all that special. But still 360 heads are a bonus. Already have intake, 4bbl carb and headers to go with!

Any help? I guess when the thread drops of the main page, no more help. @Dan the man, @RustyRatRod

Hey let's get back on this 318 please. I posted numbers and pictures!!!

No, it's on a '70 Duster. I added them, plus headers and dual exhaust!

The best thing with mine was a 2bbl carb and electronic ignition! Then the headers and dual exhaust. Admittedly I’m a little bored with it now. But it is sweet

The VIN on the block A116065 and what looks like the top of an 8 in front of the A. The numbers on the front of the block under the drivers head are 2 letters 318 02120081. The head casting numbers are 4027596.

I got one of those also! I've messaged him a few times.

I'm not expecting it to be much, just curious. The orange paint was on the back of both heads, not like totally covered, just spots. At first I thought it was flash rust from giving it a pressure washer bath. But when I looked closer there was blue paint over it and you could take your...

I don't recall, it's been a few weeks since I looked it up. I'll look and maybe take a few photos this evening.

I can get numbers when get home...

It's a 318, didn't research the casting numbers. I was sitting here at work wondering. I need to look at the intake also, it's 2bbl, but like I said it's been removed before or swapped.

Someone tell me what I have. I bought a '77 D100, neat little truck, I've had many. It had sat for 18 years in a metal shed. 318 auto with air, P/S, P/B and the adventurer package. I slowly brought it back to life, and it ran great. Having sat for so long, it started leaking oil, trans fluid and...

Yes I replaced the shift shaft seal, slip yoke seal and the oring on the dipstick tube. Well then of course the pan gasket and filter. I sprayed brake cleaner all around to clean everything up. That's how I know it is coming from the front band adjuster. Thanks for the tips. I didn't know if I...
