It's been more than a decade since I sold anything there. And I refuse to sell there again. I'll put my stuff at the curb before I try to sell anything there again. I sold an f body (Aspen/volare) floor shift steering column and console. I got a measly $55 for both pieces. Not including...

I also have a 96 318, 4wd club cab Dakota (first year for the "RE" version of that trans) Bought it cheap 9-10 years ago with the trans and transfer case in the bed, I rebuilt the trans and been driving it ever since. My wife usually drives the Durango. For the way I use it they don't do much...

Oh well in that case that would be a little different. Id still be looking at one of the kits from PATC or wiring to toggle switches to keep at least the OD working. They do make converters that match your spline on the input without the lockup where they "forget" to put the lockup back in on...

I wouldn't bypass either of those.

Not quite. My Durango came factory stock with the 360 ("5.9")

Ice never had that short of life out of one, had a junkyard pull that didn't last much longer though, once. The one in my Dakota I rebuilt myself 84k ago. And still going. The one in my Durango "only" went 58k before it went out but it's only got 314k on it total from new. I freshened it up...

That's usually a pretty good transmission I'm wondering why it was so short lived

Location approximately? I didn't see it if it was posted

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...

The trans I'm considering this for isn't driven crazy, (hey it's a heavy late B body, 318, 2.76 gears) just starting to show signs that the piston seals are probably getting hard, still soften up and do their job as the motor warms up doesn't drive like it used to, until it warms up. Fluid is...

Yeah I know about "cheapest" and I know of Fram's reputation on filters the last 10 years or so. But as with electronics ( voltage regulator, ignition boxes, caps rotors etc) I have better luck with "old stock" from brands that in some cases don't exist no more vs current new stock at most parts...

When I left the underside of the alignment rack people were having conniptions because prices on a thrust alignment was going from $50 to $60. I paid $125 to have my 12, 1/2 ton 2wd done, I then bought a pair of Michelin tires for the front and the inner edges of both front tires were shot in...

As long as you can ditch those dished pistons they castrated the 360s with, and get closer to pistons being 0 deck, Only then will the 360 have a fighting chance

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 . .

You can keep your Toyotas. Wouldn't have one even for free

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.

Crickets. Cmon wake up guys

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...

Crickets are deafening... "Only" 21 pages buried

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.

Nobody?

I saw the thread title and figured that you were talking about gas prices or fast food prices

That AMC wagon you got is cool too. Ive never been a Ford fan but I'd so rather drive a 70s maverick than the sorry excuse that Ford is currently calling a "maverick" Id rather even drive a pinto than anything Ford sells new today

That 5th digit can't be an "0" I think aspens started with N, volares started with an H I could have that reversed. Haven't looked at the vin on mine lately. Looks like you bought a 78 Aspen. 5th digit is a letter that designates original engine size. Sure it isn't a "c" which would mean a...

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
