J You could make a 1" link that would attach to your carb and then the other end wo ik ls attach to the end of your throttle cable. That would put the metal sleeve back where it should be to clamp in the bracket

I haven't set the kickdown yet with the bolt but holding it with my fingers it pushed the valve all the way back at wide open throttle.

Basically just bent the mounting tabs straight. If this was done with an la style intake I would think you would have to extend it a bit to get it to line up.

So we put some magnum heads on an la 318 that we stroked out. With that we decided to adapt the factory kickdown linkage. I'll post some pictures of it in a bit

We're trying some chevy style rockers. They were $150 on Ebay. Well see if they work I guess and go from there.

Here's pictures of the heads we have.

We got level one heads. They flow 270 cfm @.500 lift I'll snag some pictures of them tomorrow fir you.

We ended up at 10:1 with the xe275hl cam. The truck will be used for drag racing, truck pulling and spirited cruising.

Here's the cam that's were putting in it.

Mag what? The heads?

We bought some heads from performance injection equipment. They are magnum style heads. I'm guessing the stock or magnum style rocker assemblies can be used with them?

We got the rotating assembly back finally. Ended up right at 10:1 compression. DCR calculates out to 7.9:1 with the comp xe274 cam that the builder recommended. Should be quite the runner all said and done. We have a tc coming from ultimate converter with a stall in the 2800 to 3200 range...

I didn't see anything from KB that is a 3.94 bore piston. There was a kit out there that had some option for stroker kits but the next jump up for compression from the 9.6 is 11.7. That seems like to much of a jump. I'll talk to the engine builder monday and see what he has to say. NM I'll...

Yeah there isn't a lot of piston choices for the 318. He has some from diamonds that have a 16cc dish and with the PIE 62cc heads it should be at 9.6 to 1. Kind of sounded like it would cost quite a bit more to go higher in compression.

Yes pump fuel is the plan. We have a few places close to us with non ethanol 91 gas. E85 is pretty prevalent around us also but I'm not sure we will go down that road. Yes this is all clear as mud lol.

Intended use for the truck is a very spirited cruiser. There might be some truck pulling and drag racing being done with it also. He doesnt really care how the street manners are as long as it's not completely ridiculous. I guess the idea is that he's spending the money and if we can see a...

Cast iron heads from performance injection equipment.

We have the machine work done on the 318 finally. The builder is wondering how high we want to go with the compression ratio. He is suggesting keeping it around 9.6 to 1 with the dishes pistons. Were wondering if we should push it over 10 to 1 while were at it?

I have no idea. I bought the motor assembled. I was told it had a stock 318 cam in it but I never verified that. The scamp ran pretty good before I sold it. The guy that bought it said he felt no bog.

I sold the scamp a couple years ago now. I had about 90% of the bog gone before I sold it. Im don't remember any one big thing being wrong with it. If I remember right I cleaned the booster assemblies, that helped some. And I wasn't getting full throttle either. I had to drill the throttle...

Those are the heads we got. I'm not sure why the link posted says they are aluminum edelbrock heads though.

I think the money best spent would be the short block from blueprint engines. The other thread I have someone posted a link to the thread of of it. $2799 I believe they said for the 408 ci engine.

I figured I would start another thread for the stroker build for our 78 w200 build. I'd put it over on one of the truck forums but there doesnt seem to be much activity on them. I'll try to keep this thread more about the engine and any issues we run into while building it. Basically we...

I couldn't remember what the my had posted about the heads on there site. 475 sounds right. Here what the site says about them. Stock location for headers, valve train, and front end accessories 2.02" stainless intake and 1.625" stainless exhaust valves valve spring 125# seat 315# open @...

Were way past stock now. It's getting a stroker kit and the EQ heads for sure. The heads are supposed to be good for 475 hp or 575 hp. I forget what the site said.

Well down the rabbit hole we go. Took a head off to see how fresh the rebuild was! Not at all. Looks to be not rebuilt at all. Pistons were in the hole around .080 still. So I had to twist his arm into a stroker kit to go along with his EQ heads. Not sure what well do for a cam yet. Were...

I think everyone gets what you are saying. But from what you are saying this isn't even worth the effort. We my as well just leave it be. I find it hard to believe that it womt be noticeable at all. Smaller chamber heads with bigger valve should bump up the compression some. Depending on the...

I have a dual plane intake for it. It was for my 360 magnum swap I did in my scamp. The motor I got ended up having the edelbrock swap manifold on it already though. So ge is gonna use that with a edelbrock 600 I had laying around. What camshaft would be better? The whiplash one or just a...

They said the same thing about my 352 in my galaxie. Get a 390 and stick 3k of work into that. The money wasn't there at the time for all that. I did have enough to deck the block .085 and mill the heads .020. Upgraded the camshaft and valve springs and now the car will do a burn out. It...

If I had it my way I would have him sell the 318 and 727 and swap an LS set up in it. $ for $ your not gonna beat them Anyways back to the 318. He's looking to cruise this truck around and maybe hit the pulling track. Nothing crazy. If the motor is all dont at 5000 rpm that's fine. The...
