This is a hobby and ones expression of their own tastes. Build what YOU want and tell everyone else that doesn't like it that unless they are going to bank roll the project. STFU !!! lol

I have also bought rings, bearings and many other parts from Advance Auto Parts, Auto Zone, O'Rielleys, Summit, Speedway Motors, Jegs and Rock Auto among other places with satisfaction so to me it boils down to who you prefer (maybe one of these places is local to you) and who is offering the...

I just completed the same swap this summer. I installed a 76 318 into a 65 Valiant wagon. 1. The oil pan was the same shape on both engines so I used the same one from the 318 2. I tapped the exhaust bleed ports and locktighted the screw in plugs I believe I used 8/32 plugs. 3. The drivers side...

Northern Auto Parts has good pricing and you can add upgraded cams among other things. Be sure to order your kit AFTER the block is machined so you order the correct piston and bearing sizes. http://www.northernautoparts.com/Products.cfm?CategoryId=93

Sounds like the carb needs a good cleaning and a rebuild kit. Idling circuits in the carb are very small and most likely gummed up.

If you have all the parts to do a 360 then that is what I would do. If you're going to do a 318 with 360 heads be careful on piston selection so you keep the compression ratio around 9 to 9.5

Bill, I just put together a 318 for my Buddys 65 Valiant wagon and I took a lot of time studying how the dist and the oil pump shaft/gear went in. When the timing mark is at tdc the slot in the gear should be pointing front to back of the engine. If you can see the timing marks dot to dot the...

I have a 65 valiant wagon, I'm not sure they are the same but i would be willing to snap a few pics if it would help. Just let me know.

I purchased the wrong motor mounts for my 65 Valiant wagon so I have these brand new and would like for them to go to someone that could used them. They are #2227 and 2228 I will send them to you for just the cost of shipping from King NC 27021 Here is what they look like and fit...

That's good news, keep us posted!:happy1:

When you installed the oil pump drive shaft were the timing marks on dot to dot? If so, was the slot in the gear straight front to back? If that is all correct and you dropped the dist in while the timing marks were set dot to dot then the rotor should be facing the firewall. When I disassembled...

From my research they also recommend updating the charging system to the 2 field alternator and electronic voltage regulator becuase the old points style voltage regulator can cause voltage spikes and kill the electronic ignition module. Or... I ordered the retro fit regulator from FBO systems...

I have been in the HVAC industry since 1979 and 2 years of Tech school before that. Here is the bottom line 1. Most equipment today is produced with the same components 2. All manufactures have baseline equipment and a higher tier equipment that is built better and is usually quieter. 3. A piece...

Spend $20-30 on a rear end gasket and 80w90 gear fluid and count the teeth on the ring and pinion gear and divide them. for example 14 pinion, 42 ring gear 42 divided by 14 = 3 which means you have a 3.00 gear ratio. That will give you your ratio and you can work from there.

I just threw up a little in my mouth!:pukel:

I'm 20 minutes south of you in King NC I would love to check out the car this weekend if you have time. Bill

I went with SnapOn 6 yrs ago...BIG MISTAKE!!!!

Thanks 37, that was a nice bracket your Buddy made. Here is mine.

Bill, Thanks for the info on the torque convertor, I will research it. We are not having a vibration problem at this point but I will get the ring so when we do rebuild the trans I will have it. Here is the picture of the p/s engine tabs for the 318, The 273 had a fourth ear under the single ear...

The 318 and 340 are the same, it seems the 360 is different. I would have the machine shop align bore the mains as the new ones will be new or from a different engine. I have seen were the crank will not rotate if the caps are mixed up, that is why they are numbered.

My best friend bought this 65 Wagon to fix up and sell. When we really got to looking at it this was a pretty good all original factory A/C car and plus when he took his wife for a ride in even she liked it and out of the 10 vehicles he owns this is the only one she likes!!! So now it's a keeper...

I've been swapping a 318 into my 65 wagon and it has been fun finding the differences in a 65 273 and a 76 318, they have all been over come!!!
