Given the plethora of provided information the heads maybe 302 Ford or Mopar but maybe not either...
It appears the block is bare but comes with everything pictured we are lead to believe
I think it's a good deal but might not be either just waiting for more information
Be safe everyone...
 
Not 302 heads not sure the casting number

Is this just a tore down stock/used engine or has some work been done to it already?
If tore down any parts been cleaned/tanked? *(block looks clean from the picture or was painted silver)
Standard bore engine, or has been bored (if so how much) and if not how bad is the ridge? will ..030 be enough?
Crankshaft: appears it needs machining per your ad correct?
Heads: needs to be redone or already were?
Camshaft: does it come with new lifters? or cam shaft only?

Thanks in advance

Stock bored, the ridge was able to be hone out. The engine could be hot tanked and checked. Heads need to be cleaned up. The crankshaft needs to be mechine. Camshaft comes with cam, lifters and springs. The lifter are number
 
Could you give us the cylinder head numbers please? It should be on a intake runner near the pushrod holes.
 
The reason why we are all asking is because 1985 was the first year for the roller cam 318 with #302 casting heads. A very nice combination and worth the $100 price tag you are asking.
 

1984 318 with the 163 heads are open chamber heads.

1985 is supposed to have the 302, or 646, or 714, are all the same closed chambered head.

Someone may have put the '84 163 open chamber heads on the 85 318, hense going back to a flat tappet cam vs the stock roller cam in '85.

Someone has probably been into that engine before. Guessing the OP has a carberated 2 or 4 bbl intake that came on the engine when he got it.

Did the 85 models have a roller 360 also? And what heads would those have?

Here are the heads that came on the '85 360s. Pretty much the same castings as the J Heads, 1.88 Intakes and 1.60 Exhausts.

'85 360 Factory 4 bbl truck engines came factory with the 340 cams.

Great information guys but this is a sale thread. The first group of questions were about the engine being sold and if it was a 302 headed roller block asked and answered. The 360 information doesn't apply to the sale of this 318. Thanks
