Update on this, motor is running real strong, I fitted a Holley Sniper unit and it’s running better than ever. Fuel delivery wise I have fitted a 1.8L under car surge tank that is fed with a lift pump via the standard tank. The surge tank utilises an overflow into the fuel filler neck also...

Hey mate, Check out my thread, I built a 318 to a similar spec as what your are (kb167, zero decked, alloy heads). I had my machine shop gap the rings for me, I assembled the motor. I used Toyota 4K pushrods (ball and cup) with 273 adjustable rockers. Works mint. Hi from Aus! 1966 VC Valiant...

Oh man it runs so good with the sniper. Transformed the car. Had a rebuilt 600cfm Holley on it that made the car run and go fine. But the sniper transformed it. Great cold and hot starting now and runs hard at any rpm and doesn’t feel like it’s choking up in the top end anymore. Ended up...

Hey mate, from memory I filled in this form https://www.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/18706/MR7-Application-to-Alter-Vehicle-or-Trailer-Details.pdf Once it was filled in I took it to Service SA, they then submit it to vehicle standards for review. Basically as mine is a 318, only needed...

Howdy, I built my 318 and run the xe268 cam However - alloy heads (65cc) - block was milled to zero deck - use kb167 pistons - ld4b manifold - hei ignition - Holley sniper - Factory 3.23 gears - stock 904 t/c opened up and modified to about a 2100rpm stall - comp ratio is about 9.6:1 - use 273...

Here you go mate

The thing is its a 318, it's not a big power house, it has a mild cam and bumped up mild compression ratio. How would they be able to define if I have increased power at all? From the noise? (not trying to be aggressive or a dick) At the time I submitted my paperwork to Regency, the motor was...

No Regency didn't need to see it, as it came with a 273ci V8 as an option and the increase in size to 318ci only warranted a Disc brake front end change (279mm) I think the Chrysler by Chrysler discs measure 282mm. Your best bet will be to contact Vehicle Standards and ask the question. Have you...

No engineering, just fill in the engine change paperwork, I’ve fitted Chrysler by Chrysler disc brakes up front, and I put that on the paperwork, they were happy enough with that and just registered it with the v8. Anything bigger needs an engineers report. How’s yours going after all this time...

Pics speak a thousand words so here we go Final specs are - 318 +.040" (3.95" bore) - block zero decked - aeroflow alloy heads - comp cams xe268 hydr flat tappet - keith black 167 pistons - compression came in around the 9.5-9.7:1 - 273 adjustable rocker gear w/ 4k pushrods with a 2100rpm stall...

howdy, I built my 318 with 273 rocker gear. the factory pushrods were too long as I zero decked the block and used alloy heads, I'm running an xe268 cam also (just under .500" lift). I found that the Toyota Corolla KE70 with the 4K 1.3L motor uses the same type ball/cup pushrod as a 273, only...

Ladies and Gents, Perusing through my dad's shed the other day, and he has many many Hot Rod and other car magazines from the '60's, '70's and '80's. Hundreds perhaps. Anyhow, reading one of the Hot Rod mags, it had an interesting article on how they hopped up a Duster 340 and ran what I think...

Hey mate, I converted my LA 318 to 273 adjustable drivetrain I also used aftermarket alloy heads as well as having the block zero decked. I found the Toyota Corolla 4k pushrods are an identical ball/cup size as the 273 but shorter. Work perfectly in my engine with plenty of adjustment

hey mate I had the same ticking noise in my motor.... I swapped over to 273 adjustable valve train into my 318 and also zero decked the block...this caused the valvetrain to ever so slightly touch the baffles inside the rocker covers causing a tick, gave it a *gentle massage* now its all sweet

Howdy Just finished building my 318. Specs are - 318 +.040" (3.95" bore) - block zero decked - aeroflow alloy heads/65cc/I-2.02" E-1.6" valves - comp cams xe268 hydr flat tappet - keith black 167 pistons - 273 adjustable rocker gear w/ Toyota 4k pushrods - 2100rpm stall convertor - standard 318...

No probs, I'll set them up and make sure they are correct. Cheers again! Will post an update later for future reference for people

Thanks for the feedback guys They are getting fitted to a '77 318 with aluminum heads which have oiling through the head, so would it not matter how they are orientated anyhow? I have 8 of each, was thinking of fitting small holes to intake and big holes to exhaust, for instance

Hi Folks, Bought myself some 273 adjustable rocker arms with the correct mounting shafts and shims. Also came with new adjusters and locknuts. My question is, how do they orientate on the shafts? I have 8 big hole and 8 small hole. I've attached a pic of the rockers having a big hole and a...

my combo - 318 +.040" - block zero decked - kb167 - aeroflow alloy heads 2.02" intake/ 1.6" exhaust, intake flow 249cfm @ .500", exhaust 183cfm @ .500", 65cc - 9.7:1 - LD4B - Electronic ignition - 273 adjustable rockers/shafts - quick fuel or holley 600cfm - looking to get a hydraulic cam at...

Thanks guys Sure is, it's called Vintage Red, RP 4624

Hi guys, I'm have a members thread on here somewhere, thought you'd like to see my dads car even if it isn't an A-body, still a Chrysler though! Dad bought this a few weeks ago, well known where I live in Australia, had a 340 years ago and ran 11.9 with NOS down the 1/4. Had a Chrysler by...

Hey mate have a read of this in regards to torque at the wheels http://mainlinedyno.com.au/images/downloads/DYNO_TORQUE_FIGURES_-_THE_TRUTH.pdf

Seeing as this has gone off track anyway, here's what I do on a daily basis Any Left hand drive vehicles that come to where I live in Australia, need to be stock and in roadworthy condition bar the radio. If it gets converted to right hand drive, it's open to whatever mods you want as long as...

I guess I should've elaborated. It is a 1966 VC Valiant. Stock diff ratio is 3.23, which is what it has. The 318 I have has already been bored .030". The machinist has my short motor. He found .003" cylinder wear and suggested taking it out .040". Without doing this, he was concerned there...

double post

Thanks guys. Also just need some clarification on page two, it mentions the piston to wall clearance for a 4.000" bore....what specs would I use for a motor that is 3.950"? Is it a requirement to check on an freshly machined over bore? Would the machine shop to that anyway?

Cool, thanks for the feedback guys, I have a 600cfm holley here I am going to put a kit through, I'll use it to run the motor and cam in but eventual goal will be to try out the Fitech Injection with timing control to avoid the dreaded detonation and pinging

Hi Guys, Looking to build a 318, the deck is currently being hot tanked and honed to .040", and milled to zero deck to suit KB167 pistons. I'm hoping to find a set of aftermarket heads, that once cc'd, will give me a compression ration of 10.1:1 The car is 3000lbs, will be getting a 2400rpm...
