74 Gold Duster

Man iv had 318s in my last two every day drivers iv drove them for the past past 15 years and I love them you cant beat the reliability of a 318! My last truck was a 85 had 189k on it when I sold it it still ran flawlessly but was basically rusted in half! It started nickle and diming me to death it was always something rusting and breaking finally the shackle rusted in half and the leaf spring came thru the bed lol! I got rid of it and got an 01 ram with a 318 so far it's got 254k and rising still driving it every day my only complaint with 318 is 1 lack of power and 2 lack of mpg! There is alot of potential in a 318 and why dodge didnt put it there I dont know but there is no reason a 5.2 liter should only have 150hp and 12 mpg! Yes they can be built and make some respectable power I just dont understand why Chrysler didnt do it in the first place.
I messed up and locked my slanty up I wish I would have replaced it back then with another slant but I did the v8 thing I have a 360 setting in my building waiting to be built I just dont have the cast and honestly don't know if I ever will.
