Looking for a Hughes Whiplash cam, for a 318LA preferably with the lifters and springs. Thanks in advance!

This A2000 is too big for my needs and I would really like to trade it for an A1000. Anyone interested in making a trade?

It did have the water pump and I believe it does have the water crossover, however, I’m not entirely sure with it being a 68 engine that came from a 74 motorhome. Can I just weld up the holes on the heads? Are exhaust rotators an issue? Haven’t pulled the plugs from the heads yet.

No problem man! Glad you were able to use it!!

Any part number or source to find one?

Yep, another topic that’s been beat to death but I can’t find much in the way of a combination using the parts that I have. I have a 318 that was pulled from a 74 motorhome, however, after running the numbers on it, it’s a 68 engine with forged crank, 340 rods. Appears to measure to a stock bore...

That’s what I’m hoping it is, but if not I am ready to modify it for the 440.

I am pretty sure it’s a small block k member from a ‘74 360 duster but I want to be sure, the transmission in this car is for a big block, not sure if the PO just installed the trans and never finished a swap or what, it also came with two 440s that were not installed. Tried to look up the part...

I think I have the upper door trim, I’ll check tomorrow and let you know

Thank you, Rusty and BSB67! I was waiting to be scolded for my thinking on this matter! Are you guys running a windage tray as well?

I want to have a discussion about oil pan gaskets. Not brands or materials or leaking issues. But a discussion of WHY? Do we all just put those paper/composite gaskets on because we always have and then all just agree that they HAVE to be there? I recently worked on some other vehicles that...

Would a set from a 74 Dart Swinger work?

I will check if I’ve got something tonight for ya!

I’m sticking with Viton o-rings for now, with the springs I’m using there is 0 room for any other style of valve seal.
