    Question about buying Carter BBD for my 318 (unless I should look at something else)

    Jet up! Or grab a cutting torch tip cleaner and start honing out passages. I knew 1 guy took a BBD and took a torch tip cleaner to it and gave the carb back to the guy he worked it over for. He was clocked at 135mph. Supposedly. Never seen it, so I cannot testify to it.

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    Could very well be, but I'd still like to know what it sonic tested at.

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    Couldn't imagine blocks being worn-out, considering they never seen anything over 2,100 rpms.

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    Something to think about!

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    Now that everyone's sounded off about that. Why not with Gleaner combine engines? Industrial use engines. Has anyone thought about these?

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    So,,,,,,,,,,, are you saying that,,,,,,,,,, If I wanted to bore a 318 from a 3.910" bore to a 4.000" should be a cake walk and the " lil " teen can handle it????

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    Change the subject mildly if you'll allow. Guy was wanting to buy the diffy I have for my Valiant. Says he's got a rebuilt 273 that he's wanting to sell. What's it acutally worth? It runs & drives now. curious.

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    Better off turning a 360 into a 340. Be a whole lot easier, and less expensive

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    I did the same thing , but I had options on pistons. S I went with Silvolites. Btw. My CI was 350.96.
  22. Shorty Thompson

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    I didn't have that issue. I used Silvolite Pistons and paid attention to wrist pin height

    We talking Chevy , or are we talking Mopar??????
  24. Shorty Thompson

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    They used to produce a 3.000" stroke crank for the 5.9/360's. Some still have a few but won't turn loose.
  25. Shorty Thompson

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    I also wanted to build a 360/5.9 with a 3" stroke to see how badass that would be screaming down the road.

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    With all that wind blockage, I'm not surprised. 10,500 with an additional 12k in tow. Been better of with a semi set up.

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    Weight? dunno! I know I an '04 Jeep Grande Cherokee and I had to slow it down from 80mph. Illinois is the state. however . I think we're wandering off a bit. This isn't anything to do with a 318 build.
  28. Shorty Thompson

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    Well. I'd say you were correct, considering the piston normally sits ,,,, what,,, .280" maybe,,,,,. And now they're flush with the top's of the pistons.

    Oh dear God! 318 stroker

    Really????? I got a 1991 F-350 crew cab and I have to keep a close eye on the speedo . It wants to run an breathe at 70mph.
