Oh ok, got to get her on the road I understand. Sounds like an awesome ride! My son and I are working on his 70, 340 swinger, not as awesome as your project sounds you got any pics?

I hear you so did I! I'm glad to hear you got the engine level! Man with the cost of those TTI's I would shutter at the thought of persuading them to fit but you got to do what you got to do!

I thought you said you had a lift but I wasn't sure, four post is nice! Mine is a maxjack from Bendpak two post , it gets the job done! Sounds like a nice project! Well it always seems to get your hands dirty even with new parts but it's worth it!

Yeah I had to take the fuel pump out and was able to get an all in and get it lined up but it took some doing! I made a bullet which was helpful too! Just got to make sure that the bolt on the other side is out or you may contact it and not get either of them out! I used a socket and extension...

I just finished swapping both mounts on my 318 in a 73 charger last night! I have a lift and raised the car, used a tranny jack to lift the engine with 2x4 and jacked up on the pan with no issues! I wish I had read this thread before because it would have been very helpful! I was working from...

Yes Mauney Road that's the one. He actually has two salvage yards out there! Pretty cool to look around the yard when I was there and bought some items from him! He has a lot of cool Mopar's out there! He's good people! My son bought a ultra clean 73 charger from him! Original 400, 4 speed car...

No problem! Good luck with the run! He probably has one!

Steve Iverster has a big MOPAR salvage yard in NC near Shelby! Great guy! Lawndale, NC ! There are other threads about his biz on this site! He will ship! He is knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful! Has great stuff and great deals!

rzplatesandmore this is the name if that link didn't work! Sorry I'm a bit computer world illiterate!

They make them for a small block! I bought one to use on my stand with a 130 tooth flywheel and worked beautifully! I think it was like $24.00 or something! This guy makes a bunch of helpful items! Recommended! Here's the guys link on ebay! Security Measure

Yeah, a magnum build would be cool but $200 for the short block, I got just have to put heads on it and cash flow is tight at the moment!

I believe they are LA pistons because they have 4 eyebrow reliefs. I'll go check and take a pic! I pulled pistons to hone and clean cylinders. They had some rust from sitting in the guys garage for ever.

Thanks Bewy! You may be correct, I wasn’t sure about what cam it had in it so I took it to a machine shop friend of mine and he didn’t know what brand the cam was but he measured the lift and said it was slightly under what a standard LA cam was. Didn’t write the numbers down but he said it was...

Man that is really great info Professor Fate! That is a crazy overbore! This one was bored 40 over but sat a few years before I got it! Was rebuilt and never used. Had to hone some years of crust out of it but it cleaned up easy and had new pistons and cam, and a steel crank! Re-ringing it...

Thanks, so if so what heads can I put on it? Will LA style heads work or am I gonna have to use poly heads? I need to find some that are budget friendly but want to make sure I'm buying the right heads. Not looking for something radical, just want to make it go.

Sent some pictures!

Thanks! just sent them from my phone and it looks like it worked

Yes but for some reason when I send them they never get to the recipients! I have a newer I phone. Never had these issues with my android phone!

I'm thinking Poly 318 block as well. If so is there heads besides poly, like LA engine heads that will work?

Thanks! I'm not the most computer savvy guy! I got some pics but I'm having trouble getting them from my phone to my computer! The numbers I posted earlier are the only numbers on the block and they are on the front. No numbers what so ever on the sides of the block. There is an A2 on the front...

Hello, got an engine short block, supposed to be a 318. Did some searches but didn't really find the answer. Hope maybe someone can help? On the front passenger side of the block it has the numbers 1737929. Found someone saying that this number is associated with several early Mopar small...

Great thanks!

Wow thanks for the link to manuals! That will definitely help! I was browsing them all ready! is there a shop manual for the 71 dart by chance? I downloaded the 70 dart manual and I guess that's close. Was there big changes from 70 to 71?

Thanks Uncle Bob, that's good to know when I go back to putting it in! Sounds simple and I kinda assumed it should be, but you know the saying about assuming! lol It's great having people who are or have been in the trenches to go to and get advice! This site is great and I appreciate all the...

Yes that's a good suggestion! I may do that before I put it back up! Hopefully it's all good! On another subject, I pulled the torsion bars and they came out fine! I have identified them right and left. I counted the pivot bolt turns on taking them out, but have been reading about installing...

Yes indeed! Had a pucker factor moment there for sure!

Yes I had all four corners on 6 ton stands before I removed it! I also noticed it when bumping in to it. lol That made me a bit worried! I bought the removal tool for them guess I can use that if need be to install too! Will let you know.

Well stupidly I didn't see that there was more to the thread when I posted my first reply! Great news then! Glad to see it all worked out! That's reassuring! I will be putting my k in without engine or trans in place. Hopefully I will have no issues! But am a little worried now! Just waiting on...

Wow! This is good info for what I'm doing right now! I have a 71 Demon that had no engine or trans in it when I bought it! Got an engine and trans to go in it but was doing the same thing! I dropped the k member to blast and paint both it and the engine compartment and and inner fenders. So I...

Semper Fi brother! I retired in 2003! Love the Demon! Looks great! If mine looks half as good when I'm done I'd be happy! Nice car! Thanks for the advice! I will take my time but in a bit of a hurry up to get it registered! Then will do a little more of a deep dive! I'm already seeing the value...
