Sorry guys. Scamp is sold

I'm basically an idiot with a computer. Lol! Can't seem to post pics correctly. If you need pics just send me a pm with an address or number and I can send them that way.

I am offering a 1972 Plymouth Scamp with the original 318 v-8 and 727 trans. Power steering, power brakes and air conditioning. It has about 88,000 on the odometer. It runs and drives. The body color is green and it originally had a green vinyl top. The body is fair, needing a right rear quarter...

That's pretty close to my number! 375 hp would be ideal. Is that really so, a 69 318 with stock 675 heads with a good valve job and a mild cam will be near 340 hp. If so that is awesome. I could go with the 360 heads with the hardened seats and shave them down. I have a cast iron 4 barrel...

The heads that are on the 69 318 end with # 675. Are they any good?

Here's another option. I have a 1969 318 block-heads- rotating assembly in the corner. That should have the higher CR. Should I just build that with either the 340/360 heads or a pair of 302 heads?

Thanks Krazykuda. Sounds simple enough. Now all I need is time to get to it. Lol!

Mini, I think I'm going to go basically the same route. I'll take her down eventually ( still have a lot of major body and chassis mechanicals to go over) I'll check and freshen the internals as needed, a mild cam, and do some nice heads. All I'm looking for is a nice street runner. Nothing real...

Ok. Thanks. Hmmm. I have no emissions crap on mine. Maybe in the short term ad intake with a 4 barrel. Gotta see which way I'm going to go.

Up until 1971 the 318 is listed as making 230 hp. In 1972 and up it drops to 150 hp. What actually made this hp drop? Was it just in how they measured it? Or was it physically something different in the engine, heads, compression ratio, pistons, etc.

Yeah bummer! Looks like the last three numbers are 289 on the head casting. Can anyone tell me about the block? It has casting number 2536030318-6. Which block would be the most desireable to build?

Hey guys, where are the casting numbers on a head to ID 318 heads? I have a 1972 318 in my scamp currently that I would like to do a mild build on it someday. I also have a mid 80's 318 out of a van as a donor. I've heard about the 302 heads and hardened seats and was wondering if my mid 80's...

Thanks.

OK guys. Please forgive the ignorance. In your opinion which HP rating do I have? :violent1:

He guys I'm little confused as to which motor is in my 1972 Plymouth Scamp. I looked at the fender tag and see that it has the E44 code on the bottom line all the way to the left which is for the 318 2bbl 230 hp. It also has the G2R code on the bottom line just before the sequential number...
