    Crankshaft pulley

    I googled this first but couldn't find what I was looking for. How many grooves does the crankshaft pulley have for ac? If I were to install a ac system on a non factory ac car do I need to convert to the dual belt set up? The car does have factory power steering. Thanks everyone. The car is a...

    Pistons

    I've noticed that when somebody builds a 360 that they seem to always use KB-107 pistons. The ring end gaps have to set according to what kb says. Now, I don't know this as a fact or from personal experience but I have read and talk to people who have used them and they have said that kb pistons...

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    On a stock 318 ( it does have dual exhaust). Roughly how much power/ torque difference would going to a 4 barrel make? I'm asking because I was asked this same question and I said probably 15 horsepower, the person who I was talking to said that it was more like 50 horsepower and I don't believe...

    Headers

    A friend of mine and I were discussing if it's worth the extra money for ceramic coated headers. He said no and I said that from all of the information I can find out is that headers that are ceramic coated help keep underwood temperatures down by keeping the heat in the combustion chamber were...

    Small Blocks

    I was thinking the other day that if you was picked by the Chrysler corporation to design their small blocks, 318,340,360's what would have you redesigned / changed? I'm not just talking about the performance aspect of the small blocks but their dependability etc. I thought that it would be...

    Intake Manifolds

    I've just been doing some more reading and I have a question concerning intakes. I found information on edelbrock, weiand but nothing really on the offenhauser intakes, are they a good intake for low to midrange torque and all around drive ability?

    Cylinder head milling

    Been reading, reading. Anyway I came across some interesting articles on milling cylinder heads or the block deck surface and from what I've read that for every 0.010" removed that .0048" needs to be removed from the intake side of the cylinder head in order to maintain proper intake port...

    Planning the Build

    I started reading RustyRatRod's guide to hotrod bliss. I'm finding it very informative. He states a lot of good points. I think that this write up was mentioned to me awhile back already. I think that it's like 14 pages but I don't care about that. I really really believe that I was totally over...

    3-18-24

    I didn't want to highjack 318willrun's thread. I think that it's awesome how he did 3-18, I don't like the date as that's the day my brother passed away 2 years ago.

    Accelerator Cable

    I'm fixing to go check out a '72 duster here in the next couple of days. It's a 318 with a 2 barrel and I'd like to swap it out for a 4 barrel. Can I use the throttle cable that's already there? I believe I read something about using a adapter when using a edelbrock carburetor, which is most...

    Cam Timing

    ...I never had any trouble with starting the engine or adjusting the ignition timing. I was always told that putting both gears at 12 o'clock would put the cam a 180* off. I was even told this in tech school. Is the 6 o'clock 12 o'clock method correct? Also, back in those days I didn't degree...

    Brother's

    I just wanted to say that I think that it's awesome how you all pull together when one of us asks for prayer for a love one. That some have offered to help with either picking up a part or assisting with delivery. You guys are a great group of people. I'm thankful that you allow me to be part of...

    Comp's XE Cams

    Just a question as I don't have any personal experience with these cams. Is it true that the xe cams are hard on the valve train because of their aggressive ramps? Also I read / heard that the rocker arms are usually noisy. Again, I'm only asking a question here. What brand cams still have good...

    Tuning

    I know very little about doing this properly. When I was a teenager I used a timing light, vacuum gauge, tach-dwell meter, feeler gauge as that's all my dad had. What other tools do I need? A good assortment of carburetor jets? What can be done with the ignition system for performance tuning?

    LSA Question

    Just a question, I'm trying to learn about cams. If a 108* lsa is good for torque, then how can a cam that has a 112* lsa said to have strong torque? Is it the duration at 0.050 "? Again, just a question. Thanks

    Exhaust Manifolds

    I don't remember if it was mopar action or Chrysler power that did a article on how to build power from a 318 using only factory parts ( not including the pistons ). They even used the exhaust manifolds from a Dodge Dakota 360. I wish that I would've bought the issue but for some reason I...

    Basic 318 Mods

    Wish me luck as I'm going to be checking out a couple of duster's next week. I'm only asking these questions as a quide, both are 318 cars but one is a 2 barrel. Once the car is home I'm going to check it out completely and if everything checks out okay I'd like to do a 4 barrel swap and was...

    Chrome Trim

    I've seen a trim piece on the 1970 - 1972 darts and 1971 - 1973 scamps, it goes on the quarter panel extension and across the deck lid lip. Does anyone know where these can be found? I've looked but had no luck. Would like to know how to find them just in case I was to get a dart or scamp. Thanks

    Timing Chain

    I was doing some reading a little bit ago on the 318's and it suggested that a "true " double roller timing chain be used. I have to admit that I'm confused here as I've always thought that the double roller timing chain were "true " double rollers. Also it said to use a cam as close to the 340...

    I seen where mopar is getting out of the high performance car market, no more chargers, challengers. This leaves ford and chevy.

    Better Torque From A 318

    I don't have a car at this time. I'm researching ways to improve both the torque and throttle response of a 318. I've always liked learning about ways to improve a engines performance. I've read that short duration cams are one way, but what about cylinder heads, what runner size, valve sizes to...

    Demand and Supply

    I didn't want to high Jack the guy's thread about cylinder heads. I have a question about the demand and supply issue. How many pistons are available for the 318's? I'm not talking about forged pistons. Pistons to raise the compression ratio

    Cylinder Heads

    I owe everyone a apology on here concerning cylinder heads for the sbm's. I was looking around and decided to check out cylinder heads for the sbm's and I fully understand why most on here buy speedmaster or Flo tech. I don't remember the exact amount but edelbrock heads were something like...
