    Oregon cam regrind cost?

    I had a /6 one done what 3 years ago... Or so I dunno if the mildness or wildness of your chosen cam plays a part in price... Mine is basically a couple steps over stock, basically a good RV/ truck grind. Actually pretty mild. But shipping there and back cost me almost the same as what they...

    Where can I buy a reliable remanufactured 318 for 1971 Duster?

    I've never had an engine balanced. Either 2 or 3 years ago I had all the machining done on a /6. Bored 0.020. crank polished std. also had pistons pressed onto rods. Block shot peened and magged. 0.030 off the deck. That was $400. Then I had the head shaved 0.070, seats machined for oversized...

    Where can I buy a reliable remanufactured 318 for 1971 Duster?

    If you haven't started the engine all the oil is in the pan, there really ain't any in the area to leak until you run it.

    I'm thinking it'll be slightly under square, I'm thinking of doing one up for a 3/4 ton 80s truck. Tow pig.

    Red x time. He didn't say anything about a 360. Id find somebody to pull your original and have it gone thru... Unless it has a windowed block or something

    318 head porting for the average joe

    I have a set of 302 heads here on the shelf fresh from the machine shop (ok 3 years ago but still not mounted on an engine) and yes I plan to pull them apart this summer and clean them up, mostly just casting flaws and yes I'm gonna RUN THEM... On a 318, even. Tough. Not going speed master, not...

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    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...

    Is 20W-50 too heavy for my 340?

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

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    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...

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    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...

    Timing Chain Cover crankshaft opening is the wrong size

    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 . .

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    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.

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    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...

    What cam to use in a 318

    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...

    340 dual point??

    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
