Hey everyone, I have a 73 dart sport that needs a tail panel and I cannot find a replacement. It is really the only part that is rotted and just needs replaced, it had already been patched once looks like many years ago. I can find Duster and Demon panels all day but no Darts. Any help is...

I do plan on putting my Magnum 5.9 in, just not at the moment. I think that would be a great father son project. As for now I just want a warmed over 318.

The $1000 budget isn't super strict just generalized prob actually swing $1500 to $1800 for the rebuild. Got really lucky with the engine only 53,000 miles on it (original to the car). It had nil on the out of round on the cylinders. Got to buy new vlaves, already have the bearings, and ordering...

As for what I plan with the car, how about cruiser and weekend road course.

Sorry been workin alot of O.T. The 360 heads getting machined as is the block going with the KB 167 pistons for sure now. Should get the compression up about 9.2 if I did the math right.

After some thought I'm gonna save the cash and get the 360 heads done and the KB 167 piston set thanks guys. :D

So mguner you dont think there would be a problem running the 360 heads on the stock bottom end with a mild cam?

I guess I should mention the budget is around $1000 for the engine build.

If the cash flow allowed it I have a Magnum 360 complete setting in the shed. Pulled out of my truck about 4 years ago.

So how about the stock heads the KB zero deck pistons and the summit or equivalent cam.

Trust me if I had the cash right now I'd drop a blower on it with the 360 heads. Think if Mad Max drove a Dodge. :)

It'll have a 904 hooked behind it. I know as a general rule avoid dome pistons at all cost but figured with the low compression these engines had to start with wouldn't hurt.

Hey fellow A body fans quick question here. On a 318 which would be better,360 heads with this cam from Summit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-k50052 or the stock teen heads with these pistons http://www.summitracing.com/parts/uem-kb399ktm-std/overview/make/dodge and the same cam. The...

I planned on having brass valve guides installed. The local machine shop wants $325 just to do that though plus $350 for the valve job prob be better off finding some better ones or sticking with the 318 heads. The last decently priced machine shop went out a few years back had them do a set of...

Got to cleaning up the 360 heads and I'm afraid one intake valve seat is to far gone. Must have had water setting against it.
