I was thinking the other day that if you was picked by the Chrysler corporation to design their small blocks, 318,340,360's what would have you redesigned / changed? I'm not just talking about the performance aspect of the small blocks but their dependability etc. I thought that it would be...

I've just been doing some more reading and I have a question concerning intakes. I found information on edelbrock, weiand but nothing really on the offenhauser intakes, are they a good intake for low to midrange torque and all around drive ability?

Been reading, reading. Anyway I came across some interesting articles on milling cylinder heads or the block deck surface and from what I've read that for every 0.010" removed that .0048" needs to be removed from the intake side of the cylinder head in order to maintain proper intake port...

I started reading RustyRatRod's guide to hotrod bliss. I'm finding it very informative. He states a lot of good points. I think that this write up was mentioned to me awhile back already. I think that it's like 14 pages but I don't care about that. I really really believe that I was totally over...

I didn't want to highjack 318willrun's thread. I think that it's awesome how he did 3-18, I don't like the date as that's the day my brother passed away 2 years ago.

I'm fixing to go check out a '72 duster here in the next couple of days. It's a 318 with a 2 barrel and I'd like to swap it out for a 4 barrel. Can I use the throttle cable that's already there? I believe I read something about using a adapter when using a edelbrock carburetor, which is most...

I didn't want to highjack the op question on cam timing, but I do have a question about it. When installing a timing chain I always brought up #1 on the compression stroke, turned the cam gear to the 6 o'clock position and the crank gear to the 12 o'clock position, then I installed the...

I just wanted to say that I think that it's awesome how you all pull together when one of us asks for prayer for a love one. That some have offered to help with either picking up a part or assisting with delivery. You guys are a great group of people. I'm thankful that you allow me to be part of...

Just a question as I don't have any personal experience with these cams. Is it true that the xe cams are hard on the valve train because of their aggressive ramps? Also I read / heard that the rocker arms are usually noisy. Again, I'm only asking a question here. What brand cams still have good...

I know very little about doing this properly. When I was a teenager I used a timing light, vacuum gauge, tach-dwell meter, feeler gauge as that's all my dad had. What other tools do I need? A good assortment of carburetor jets? What can be done with the ignition system for performance tuning?

Just a question, I'm trying to learn about cams. If a 108* lsa is good for torque, then how can a cam that has a 112* lsa said to have strong torque? Is it the duration at 0.050 "? Again, just a question. Thanks

I don't remember if it was mopar action or Chrysler power that did a article on how to build power from a 318 using only factory parts ( not including the pistons ). They even used the exhaust manifolds from a Dodge Dakota 360. I wish that I would've bought the issue but for some reason I...

Just a question. Is there shorty or midlength headers available for the A body mopar with a small block?

I was on Facebook checking out some mopars and I noticed that a couple had gm alternators, what's up with that?

Wish me luck as I'm going to be checking out a couple of duster's next week. I'm only asking these questions as a quide, both are 318 cars but one is a 2 barrel. Once the car is home I'm going to check it out completely and if everything checks out okay I'd like to do a 4 barrel swap and was...

I've seen a trim piece on the 1970 - 1972 darts and 1971 - 1973 scamps, it goes on the quarter panel extension and across the deck lid lip. Does anyone know where these can be found? I've looked but had no luck. Would like to know how to find them just in case I was to get a dart or scamp. Thanks

I was doing some reading a little bit ago on the 318's and it suggested that a "true " double roller timing chain be used. I have to admit that I'm confused here as I've always thought that the double roller timing chain were "true " double rollers. Also it said to use a cam as close to the 340...

I seen where mopar is getting out of the high performance car market, no more chargers, challengers. This leaves ford and chevy.

I don't have a car at this time. I'm researching ways to improve both the torque and throttle response of a 318. I've always liked learning about ways to improve a engines performance. I've read that short duration cams are one way, but what about cylinder heads, what runner size, valve sizes to...

My original post got moved from the general discussion section, for what reason I don't know.

How do i add photos to my post? I have a Samsung a23 5g phone.

I didn't want to high Jack the guy's thread about cylinder heads. I have a question about the demand and supply issue. How many pistons are available for the 318's? I'm not talking about forged pistons. Pistons to raise the compression ratio

I owe everyone a apology on here concerning cylinder heads for the sbm's. I was looking around and decided to check out cylinder heads for the sbm's and I fully understand why most on here buy speedmaster or Flo tech. I don't remember the exact amount but edelbrock heads were something like...

I expanded my search 400 miles from where I live and nothing but project cars or race cars. I never thought that looking for a rust free dart or duster would be near impossible. It wouldn't have to be number matching, power steering is preferred, manual brakes are okay and I can have ac...

I've been doing research on the 1974 duster / dart sport with the 360. From what I've read the 360 in 1974 was rated at 245 horsepower at 4,400 rpm's, is this over rated or under rated or accurate? The reason for this is I've been looking at a 1974 duster with the possibly of rebuilding the 360...

Is there a cam company that will grind a 340 cam to exact factory specs? I've looked but what I've found were close, I'm probably not looking in the right place. I'm researching on building a car for pure stock drag racing and the rules say that stock parts are mandatory except for the pistons.

I was watching Graveyard Cars tonight and Mark gave the specs for the cam and the intake had more lift and duration than the exhaust, the cam was for a hemi. I've noticed this alot on the hemi's and some other engines too, these were naturally aspirated engines as well. I thought that the...

Went to a 250 mile radius and still no A body, but I'm still looking

Is there any year(s) A body floor pan that will fit a 1965 or 1966 dart?

What's the best oil filter these days? Back in the day all my dad would use was fram products.
