Back to what we were originally talking about A swap to a bigger 2bbl like the 360s and 400s had. I know this also takes a manifold swap to do it right (I don't like those cobble- small 2bbl to big 2 bbl adapters) but it will come with a noticeable improvement in driveability on an otherwise...

I like delvac 15w,40 in my 1/4 million mile 318 Dakota. I've been a "10w40 in everything" guy FOR YEARS.

There's a guy on the /6 site that has all early a bodies ("Dart 270"-- aka Lou Madsen) who's run an a500 and has since switched that car to a gm 200-r4 in that car, I forgot what he liked better about them, other than size/ which in and of itself wouldn't matter since he's had an a 500 in that...

This was a bit more than a carb/ intake swap but it is on a 318. For MY purposes it was a huge wake up for that engine. 83 D250 2wd 727 3.23 and 32" rubber (235/85-16 10 ply). It ran more than decent for what it was and how it got used stock, as I bought it. I swapped EQ heads into it, a...

For less you can send it to one of 2 places and have it remanned. Damper doctor and damper dudes. I've used both. And you will prevent another "made in China" part from going on your car . .

But if you have another reason ( such as "need to replace the carb anyway because existing one is a lean burn version that doesn't have provision for vac advance nipple...) go for it, it definitely won't hurt. I'm in exactly that position with my 78 fury.

Depends on the particular 4 barrel I had one one time that was completely bone stock, in a heavy Cordoba with 2.76 gears and swapping out only for a 2bbl 360 carb from the original (engine was a junkyard pull verified 40k mile lean burn engine, I put the original {dead} 360's intake carb and...

Of all people you should know ... Just say on the mild side .. Also because cam numbers still make my head spin... I've tried and tried and tried to understand them

For street/ cruiser purposes I tend to stay in the RV cam range. Still a noticeable improvement over factory stock.

All my old Chilton manuals said the 70s and earlier 80s 318s were 8.6:1 and 360s were "advertised" as 8.2- 8.4 but then in the 80s some of the 360s were advertised as actually being below 8:1, the heavy duty ones in 1 ton trucks and such being listed amongst the lowest. I wonder then if the...

But still longer than the ph16 which later replaced the 43 in most listings

Same filter as the original 318 would have

I have one for a 392 hemi which was verified as the same length as a LA small block. I have no idea how different it would be set up compared to a 273 or a 340 advance curve wise. Nor how tuneable they are. I have a (now buried) ad here for it and.... Crickets

Red x time again

red x time. just say NO to Holley

Just say NO to Holley

Never seen that from the factory on a magnum

Yes cloyes quality has gone way downhill But if you have one from back then it might be alright. Not sure when they went to ****

But yet every thread on the subject ends up that way.

And I can't be the only person here who is damn sick and tired of "how can I wake up a 318" and constantly hearing the answer "get a 360".

MAJOR red X defeats the whole purpose of the thread.

For a nice cruiser I have to say id rather do the 302 heads over 360 heads and just clean up the nasty in the heads (light porting) as yeah I know, 360 heads on a 318 have been done forever but a 318 is a bit low on compression anyway, I certainly wouldn't want "less" which is what plopping 360...

I do that but I have never bought one from new. On every one of them I have had that happen to that was my own, antifreeze had been replaced at a minimum by virtue of having to replace a water pump or radiator prior to the problem happening. I've personally had it Happen 3x and my son had this...

I've had this a few times. The aluminum cover pits and corrodes. Had it on Dakota 3.9s, also LA and magnum v8s

Definitely red x time

My 81 w150 came from the factory with the 318 and a TQ. I loved that combo. Had 3.21s and I put 32x11.50-15s on it...I also had an 89 diplomat that came with a QJ and I had all kinds of problems with that one til I swapped it out. I originally swapped it for a new, identical factory spec QJ and...

On the gasket thing I've done them both ways. As thin as the gasket that sometimes comes with a new pump is, I can't see it helping much vs a perfectly machined flat surface as are both the pump and the cap it bolts to. In the case of the problem posted in the thread any heat applied (welding...

WHERE IS THAT RED X??????

Honestly I can say that I have never put a torque wrench on a balancer bolt Zap it with an impact wrench and call it good

I just bought a set of victor reinz 360 style ones (not the stamped tin 318-2bbl style ones) yesterday. Rock auto has them in their "clearance" section I think they're like $8.something a set. Used to use alot more victor than fel pro mostly because that's what my old go to parts store carried...
