So to all that has had this issue was the cam a HYD Tappet ? Does anyone have a rollar setup and has had it happen ?

Thanks guys. I guess I got a lot to do. Sucks that I just bought it a couple months ago it sounded fine no issues other than some electrical didn’t hear any noise in the motor either. Gotta love hot rods. It also blows I live in a area where idk where the closest engine shop is for machine work...

I also don’t have that much room in the garage so if I can just remove the engine it would be easier I know doing both is ideal but just trying to pull the engine.

Yeah, so that brings me to this question bc I have a bad back and don’t wanna go to crazy the car has a 727 trans. I have the heads obviously off and the headers out of the way. What’s the best approach to pull just the engine ? A jack under the trans and undo the bell housing bolts since I can...

No I haven’t found any metal in the oil or pan. The engine was rebuilt a couple years ago but the guy that passed away told the guy that sold it too me it’s std bore and the cylinders were cleaned and honed so they put dome pistons in. Well it’s 100 degrees where the car has been and it’s been...

Need help I have a 1974 Duster with a 318 here are the numbers stamped. Drivers side 2536030 318-11 Passenger side says 8-11-72 so is this a 1972 LA 318 ?

So say I bought this upper kit set up for a rollar cam. Besides buying the rollar cam and lifters what else would I need bc it says oiling style through pushrods and from what I’m reading the LA does not oil that way ? What are retro hyd roller cams? Sorry I’m trying to do it easy by buying...

Thanks for all the replies and yes I really need help rebuilding this engine. The car says it has 15000 miles on the odometer now idk if that’s true or not. The engine is STB bore with some pistons they put in. The engine did run fine I was told it was rebuilt a couple years ago but the car sat...

Hi all, so I have a 318La with 73 360 heads and a mild cam is what I was told when I bought it the car sat for a couple years and was told it only had 500 miles or less on rebuild. So since I’m in the process of re-wiring the car I wanted to remove intake and heads and put new gaskets on this...

Thank you guys. I am going with the American wire bc I need more than just the in dash harness which is 800. The rear harness I found when removing the rear seat is brittle that’s another 250. And with the engine harness. I’m over 1000 in harnesses anyways. I know it’s going to take awhile but...

Fyi I have the service Manuel and schematics I couldn’t find it. Anyways I’m going with the American auto wire and doing the whole car since I have found numerous wiring that looks shady. But I have another issue now since I decided to take the intake and heads off and see what is in this engine...

Thank you for your response does anyone know what this part is called that was mounted behind the dash with harnesses plugged into it ? See photos
