Swapping '69 273 with '84 318 Into My 1969 Dart
If anyone is watching this thread or sees it in the future, here is what I ended up doing on top of the Edelbrock Performer Intake, 4bbl carb, and Hedman long tubes.
318 with the following new parts:
Main Bearings
Rod Bearings
Cam Bearings
XE256H Cam & Lifters
901-16 Valve Springs
Piston Rings
Freeze Plugs
Oil Pump
Timing chain/gears
Harmonic Balancer
Aluminum Radiator
Swaped 3769973 Heads
Also done:
Smog Delete
A/C Compressor Delete
At time of writing, I have the block completely stripped and am about 1/4 through cleaning/inspecting everything. It turn out the 273 on the car was actually a 1976 318 with the 273 valve covers, oil pan, and water pump swapped on.
I will report back when the project is completed, or if anything else comes up. Thanks again for everyone's help, this engine is going to make way more power than it did before I released the expensive sounds.
