Strange 318 Block

Just Great ! I would bet you Lunch that it is the High Nickel 2 bolt main race block. 318 blocks are built tough to begin with, ever compared one to a 289 ford block. The ford block looks like a toy and cracks between the compression side of the cylinder and the water jacket, pretty much junk after that.

Good 318 Block and add a little more nickel to the cast mix and you got a tough one. Always enjoy retracing the mopar engineers footsteps, those guys could hardly wait to get to work in the morning to continue building the mopars.

You’ll lose that bet because you are talking out of your hat.
