I'm confused too!! My 8 3/4 measures 55.00 for width 45.50 for center to center perches with 11" brakes, and posi unit. Axles were attached old style (nuts). The other bare housing measures 53.00 for width and 43.50 perches. I guess they just eyeballed some of the measurements!!!

I do have access to air tools, but haven't been able to check other stores for the socket/tool. I found one for sale $63.00, just seems to steap for one time use. I only have to change one ball joint. Will find the moog part#K772 you gave me and get with the local repair shops and let them...

Tried it once over a ratchet handle. I do not recommend this as I split the head on the handle (yea for lifetime warranties). Did you need a bathroom break after it broke!!! and I bet they wonder how you broke that ratchet like that and still have to warranty it :toothy10:

I've been soaking them with wd40, maybe nows a good time to tell the wife I need new tubular arms!!

I got moog joints but I think the number was k795 or 745, I'll try napa next, Thanks

it has the big bolt pattern 5 x 4.5, both ball joints new and ones that were in the car have the same socket size, about 1 3/4" from one flat side to the other.

I have a 75 Dart Swinger, 3182bbl a/t p/strg p/brakes, which has front disc brakes, 8-1/4 rear drums. I ordered upper ball joints from the local autozone (Ft Worth TX) and the shaft size of the ball joint is larger than mine? The zone says it is the only one listed for my car. I read their...

I have both style blocks and like MOPER said the #5 main is different, It does take different oil pans! I would return it and make them get you a block like you had.

What is best to use? Floating pistons or pressed on? I have a set of 340 bushed rods or do I reuse my press fit 318 rods? Whats the main difference between them?

Engine deck was checked and was told it was off .012 I wonder should I go ahead and deck it .020/.030? I'm not looking for the compression you got, want to run pump gas. And what roller cam would you run or stay with a flat tappet?

Sorry for being so vague, I really wanted to see what builds people have done. Then decide which direction I need to go. Thanks for pointing that out. I really liked the build BJR has done and have made a decision to use that build. I wanted to use some of the parts I already have or have...

Excellent build up, I was looking last night for info on using the 358 stroke crank, cause I already the 318/340 style crank, just need the 360 heads. Was their a certain head you liked more? And what type cam, I'll assume it was a solid roller? I'll let you know how the build goes.

Ok Lets hear about How you Built your 318? My 360 is on the back burner now. I need to beat any My Boss with a 318 build up. He stole my 302 heads Fully race ported it, bronzes guides and what hurts the most, he put Chevy valves in it. He doesnt have the short block yet So I'm ahead there...

My guess would be too much cam, too much valve lift, not enough clearance. My buddy just went thru the same thing. He switching too smaller cam. :( Sorry

Awesome information. I checked with the machine shop and he mic's the block to check for overbore capability??? Still got me not wanting to use it. I hate to put it all together, with the newer Magnum manifolds and heads,I still have to buy! And it goes pop. I guess I can't decide what to use...

My overall goal is to reach 6.40 1/8 mile with the Dart and still street drive it. They have a street 6.40 max class racing once a month at the local track. Of course on a limited budget. If thats not within reach then a decent street car is second my goal.

If they do sonic check it. What results should I be looking for?

Go to rubber, unless it rocks the body like my Challenger did. Then its worth the vibrations!!

"Buttered Whale Snot" Never tried it, Is it the same as buttered Ostyers? If so That stuff is slick

Yes I told the machine shop the max overbore, He went 30 over for the sake of getting pistons easier! And not tell me until I got the motor back. You should see the mess he made balancing it. I know its not seen when put together but it still bothers me. I still like my 318, so I might go that...

looks like I'll have to send it back. Thanks for the info

I'm a little worried about the cylinder wall thickness. The machine shop bored my 1998 360 30 over, and I think max bore is 20 over. I wanting to push the limit, trying for 600hp with NOS, Is it safe to use this block?

Sounds like a great ride, newbe here too. How much trouble was it to narrow that 9 1/4?
