It looks like you have the stock type sliding caliper setup. If you havent already done it you can replace the stock A body calipers with the later model police type, they have larger pistons and make quite a difference in stopping power. Putting some kind of power assist will do nothing to stop...

It could be a police motor. They had thick balancers and log manifolds. They didnt use headers or special manifolds or steel cranks in because it was a cop car

This sucks. I hope you guys keep it going, I looked at this thread every time I got online so I could laugh at something.

I would think twice before swapping intakes on your 318-3. The stock BBD intake has coolant going through under the carb where your exhaust crossover normaly is. An aftermarket intake may work, or it may not……… something to keep in mind.

A good flare tool is very nice. Those cheap clamp together things with the little buttons are hit and miss. I bought one that you clamp in the vice... it has different dies you put in and pull a lever to do the flare. It makes a nice centered flare 100 percent of the time. Im at work, dont...

I have set them cold and it usually works ok… but the engine seems quieter and smoother when you set them hot. I’ve never tried it with the engine running, just one at a time going through the firing order.

Yes.

The industrial engines are good too. The block has extra ribbing on the outside. The heads, water pump, and exhaust manifolds wont work in a car, but the intake, distributor, block, crank are good to go. The transmissions from them are full of HD parts. All had steel cranks

I went through an 85 or 86 police 318 for a 91 truck one time. It had the quadrajet carb with open chamber 360 heads. 345 or something casting number. The pistons were a little closer to the deck than a normal 318. It was a roller cam block with a flat tappet cam in it. I put it in the truck...

Good work. should be a very fun car

Try to use a drill press spindle with a 4 inch boring bar the tool with jump around and chatter like crazy. Please don’t waste any decent mopar blocks if you ever try it. Use a Chevy or ford, they are softer anyways

You could find some stock A body axles and just narrow your housing

Is the long one the same length as a 727?

Pull the carrier out, should have plenty of room to drill then

That is bad ***.
