Blue Brick
What I know about this engine is that it’s a 318, has ported Edelbrock heads, there is gobs of RTV, was really oily but didn’t have any leaks per se, and there was some scale in the coolant passages like someone put tap water in it. It’s a damn strong engine and will do for awhile but it’s not the final solution for motivation.
The shopping list consists of full gasket set, FITech efi, TTi shorties, 318/340 Milodon rr pan, valve covers, water neck, miscellaneous bolts to replace cobbled together set of fasteners someone threw at it, fittings for the intake (the water neck and heater core bypass fittings were really corroded).
I was looking forward to a different power plant for the car but with going to a T56 set up and possibly EPAS I figure it will free up funds to get the “might as well’s”.
