    Cheap 318 performance mods.

    For a nice cruiser I have to say id rather do the 302 heads over 360 heads and just clean up the nasty in the heads (light porting) as yeah I know, 360 heads on a 318 have been done forever but a 318 is a bit low on compression anyway, I certainly wouldn't want "less" which is what plopping 360...

    sb collant leak at timing cover??

    I do that but I have never bought one from new. On every one of them I have had that happen to that was my own, antifreeze had been replaced at a minimum by virtue of having to replace a water pump or radiator prior to the problem happening. I've personally had it Happen 3x and my son had this...

    1967 fastback barracuda auction in Idaho NOT MINE

    For a car tag admittedly don't run, and a ripped up interior the price seems a little salty

    Another 904 trans ID

    Yup they did come both ways in 78. My 78 fury (very early build in 9-77) had a non lockup 904 that still has a converter drain plug

    Carb recommendations for my 340

    My 81 w150 came from the factory with the 318 and a TQ. I loved that combo. Had 3.21s and I put 32x11.50-15s on it...I also had an 89 diplomat that came with a QJ and I had all kinds of problems with that one til I swapped it out. I originally swapped it for a new, identical factory spec QJ and...

    I think i broke rear main bearing

    On the gasket thing I've done them both ways. As thin as the gasket that sometimes comes with a new pump is, I can't see it helping much vs a perfectly machined flat surface as are both the pump and the cap it bolts to. In the case of the problem posted in the thread any heat applied (welding...

    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    Sounds like miserable Illinois. Chicago and Springfield themselves are blue, most of the rest of 100 counties aren't. How 2 counties can out rule the other 100, has always baffled me. Look at the geographic size of Chicago especially compared to the size of the whole state. Even if you add in...

    PNW Slant 6 engine rebuilder?

    Go to the /6 site and look up Reed. There's a couple others in that area but they haven't been active lately/ they used to "live" on that site.

    Intake Manifold Gasket Recommendations

    I just bought a set of victor reinz 360 style ones (not the stamped tin 318-2bbl style ones) yesterday. Rock auto has them in their "clearance" section I think they're like $8.something a set. Used to use alot more victor than fel pro mostly because that's what my old go to parts store carried...

    Head gasket question

    Been wanting to get other stuff from RA anyhow which I just did to "water down" the shipping cost, so I'll have 2 full sets of the marine ones. I looked up the standard fel pro head gaskets there and price wise these marine ones are only a couple of bucks more than the standard fel pros...

    4.2 lever change

    I just did a 46RE, surprised it originally had a 2.5. I was surprised they went that low. . someone here sent me (I think it was)a 3.2 Maybe a 3.8? I was thinking about a 3.8 or a 4.2. but a 3.2 even I would think would be noticeable, being a factor of 1/3 more than the original one was...

    Jacob’s ignition testing. Thanks to Newbomb Turk….

    I've had a few of those and liked how they ran. The last one I had I bought off of a guy that's on the /6 site and it ended up in my attic for a few years and when I went to try and use it, it was dead as a brick. It ended up in the trash. I've been kicking myself ever since I let the 2 that I...

    Advance springs

    I took a shot in the dark and struck out I bought some advance springs (weren't advertised as "Mopar" but for a much older Ford) but as long as the length is alright and the tension is what I want I don't care what brand they were originally "made for". I bought them specifically because the...

    Head gasket question

    Well that went bust. The seller that made me the offer of $30 when their original price was $40 now "can't find" the HG that started me asking... I bought a matching one from another seller, I'll have to hit up RA for $18 "clearance" for the other one... Hopefully the other stuff I've been...

    How much power will a stock 904 handle

    Yeah. B 200 and 300 means 70s.back then I believe all the vans had 727s. My b250 was an 87. 3/4 ton 5 lug 9-1/4 rear. Window van. 904. My dad had an 86 b250 conversion at the same time and his was 8-1/4 rear. Also 904 ( or 998/999 maybe) Around that time I was seeing a lot of b vans with 8-1/4s.
