I would like to think so, and hope that is true! i myself have done so just from inspiration acquired on this site (unfortunately too old), but I can't help thinking they will be using a soldering gun, a laptop, and discussing Ohm's law as opposed to Bernoulli's principles:(

Great discussion from the A team here on porting, PHR, PBR, Earlie A, Brian H, plus others!

I think you have it narrowed down, right side, not the oil sending unit, above the exhaust manifold dripping down. Sounds like; Valve cover gasket Oil fill gasket Breather grommet Replace all and clean area with brake cleaner. If the leak returns, it could be a positive pressure inside the...

Could be, having worked in memory care facilities, I know people have both their good and bad days and sometimesa mental declines are not readily apparent. I had seen Dan a few months before he passed, and he seemed sharp and honest that day. He talked me out of doing some machine work on a...

If you are going with a CNC kit, pay for them to balance, especially if you are going to use the cast crank. You might get lucky if you opt for the diamond pistons as another member suggested with the cast crank, because they are much lighter than the icon pistons, but I doubt it. If doing it...

We lost a good machinist and mopar specific machine shop whe Dan Dvorak passed away a few years ago. He was located mid state in Waldo, so it was inconvenient for all, but worth the trip. Luckily I had kids going to college in Gainesville, so it was always a good excuse to see them too. I am...

Hey Ken, I suspect part of this issue is "down time", and perhaps building a similar engine for a like for like swap helps to eliminate that. There is a machine shop not too far away from you in Lake City called Adenaline performance who speaks mopar, and can build you a long block of which ever...

Along that line, Dan I found another one of those Florida car deals on marketplace over the holiday weekend, and thought of you. It's not an A body, but a 91 dodge Dakota standard cab, short bed, 318 v8. I don't want to hijack the thread, so pm if interested and I will pass along the information

I have used that summit cam on a stock '86 318 rebuild.i bought it mostly due to good pricing, in addition to a 600 summit carb, performer intake, and headers, original 302 heads, but fwiw, I was disappointed in it below 3000 rpm. I found the off the shelf comp xe250 to be the better performer...

True that, but since no other information is given to previous block work, it is a starting point. In fact, no other requirement given except for, a street engine, 4.100 bore, standard stroke. One other nice thing about those pistons are their lightweight, lighter than the stock 340 pistons...

For a street piston, these may work well for you. Hypereutectic with a deck height of 1.840 will put you .018 above deck, which will help with your open chamber heads. Relatively inexpensive at $390 amazon/$409 cnc motorsports. Negative is the thicker 5/64th ring pack, but what your 340...

I would suggest the Mahle power pak with their 1mm ring set, but I do not believe that they have a 340 piston. 060 over

That hits a might bit too close to home for me:rolleyes:

Every once in a blue moon I see something in good condition, and low mileage like that come up for sale here in Florida. Probably due to the high amount of senior citizens down here who give up driving and park them in their garages. Although far from Dan's hometown. It looks in good enough...

and that's why I never magnaflux. Those magnetic test tend to crack parts:),

Dan, how about this car for you, 318 and ac, with only 28k miles!

Maybe check with, @PRH for your cylinder head needs

I have been recently dealing with Mike at B3 from recommendations I saw here on FABO, and have been impressed with his knowledge, and more importantly, his attitude. He has been a real help and a pleasure to work with. Sorry, not trying to hijack the post.

I hear ya, a head that flowed 260 cfm ootb, and the porting potential into the 300 would be a one stop shop head for both the street and the strip. Besides the price, I remember not wanting to deal with the rocker shaft blocks when they came out. Of course there wasn't a FABO around back then...

and closed chambered!

I hear ya

A good street piston none the less and inexpensive at cnc motorsports. Most forged pistons have gone the 1/16th ring package or smaller. Maybe some older trw type pistons available in the classified section with the thicker ring package

I don't think you will find a stroker kit for a 318 anywhere near $1500. With both the 340 and 360 kits you can find inexpensive ones with hypereutectic pistons and cast cranks. I have never found those hypereutectic stroker kits available for the 318. Many 318 stroker use the quality/expensive...

You have a good collection of parts already for a healthy 318. If it turns out to be a bad rod I would just eagle sir or summit rod it along with some kb167 and a. 028 head gasket to get the compression up a bit for the healthier cam you are running. If it needs to be bored, and the crankshaft...

Could it be a reverse rotation water pump?

Lake Speed Jr. comes across as a snake oil salesman in that video, yet his intent is the exact opposite I am getting ready to break in a flat tappet camshaft and was going to post a question here about using Vizard's Oil Extreme for the break-in. After watching that video, I think I will save...

At least it doesn't say Broader :rolleyes:

If you have a 392, then i would say follow your passion. Do the people selling the stroker kit for $1500 also sell a balanced version of that kit? It would probably cost a bit more, but it would eliminate the need for a machine shop. Although it seems like all you need to get the 318 going now...

I got a replacement timing cover from Mancini a few days ago, luckily I didn't have any issues

Dan was talking about going to see some 318 car last week an hour away with air conditioning, but haven't heard if he came home with it yet, but I hope he did!
