    Trans leak up front

    In 2012 I swapped the -77 318 & 904 for -89 roller cam 318 & A500 & replaced all seals, new frost plugs, engine + trans oils & filters & so on & since then it's been doing fine as daily driver with oil & filter changes... I was visiting a friend some days ago & he complemented me on my car...

    Roller cam - Magnum

    I have 3 318's, 2 from -89 roller cams in cars & 1 solid from -77 sitting & while I was cleaning the roller lifters in one a guy said roller cam engines are Magnum engines... That pussled me as I never though so, what's the correct answer?

    The HEI that some ex owner put in died (no big surprise) so I put MoPar original stuff in & it fired right up & ran good! So I drove it a little & then left it but next day it started run bad & then worse & then not at all... So I've been trying 4 different coils & tried all wiring but I don't...

    Non ATF+4 in a A500 trans..?

    As I've been told & followed so far an A500 (904+o.d.) only should have ATF+4 fluid, right? Well I'm in trouble now; I'm stuck out of reach for ATF+4 & have to drive the car & myself away from where I'm at & the only trans fluid on the shelves here is normal ATF for some gm product that's been...

    Cam for LA...

    I've been offered to buy a high performance cam... The thing is that it says "from -64 & up" but my engine is a -89 roller cam engine, so I reckon it won't work, right?

    Thermostat housing different sizes...

    While ordering I've noticed that 170 & small block engines have the same thermostat housing as does the 225 & big block, so ofcourse I wonder what the difference is; is it the space between the bolt holes or the diameter of those holes or both? Hope someone have some laying around & can check &...

    A500 vibrations

    I've got a strange thing going on with my A500 trans; if I let go a little on the gas when it shiftes from 2:nd to 3:rd I get vibrations & they become a tiny bit worse when I click on the overdrive & then it stays even when I'm let the car go down slow. But(!) when I keep on axelirating throu...

    What kind of 318 La..?

    Bought another car some weeks ago & it has engine & trans from a van, long dipsticks & such, it has a 2 barrel carb on iron manifold but used to have injection, that means it's a roller cam engine, right? I've been under & saw by the relief number that it's a 318 but how &/or where do I see the...

    Slipyoke splines...

    I just replaced both u-joints & now I see that the slip yoke have a "gap" in the splines where one spline is missing/left out so I look at the transmission shaft but there's nothing to fit that gap...The gearbox is an A500 from a Dodge van & the shaft is from a Volare that used to be connected...

    Bearing or..?

    I just noticed that when I push the slipyoke sideways it moves a wee bit... So I figured that it must be a bearing or bushing inside the seal that's waisted, right? The trans is an -89 A500 / 904 with o.d. from a van. (& it's been working fine in 8 years now in its new home) So what's in there...

    Driveshaft...

    Long ago my driveshaft was shortend due to replacing the 904 with a A500 & about a year back I started to feel vibrations... So I went at the pinion angle & gearbox angle, changed tires & so on... But now I'm pretty sure the inner pipe has come lose inside. :( My question is: does anyone know...

    I've made sure the pinion angle is right, got new u-joint & felt with my hands the rear axel shaft ends on both side + incoming/pinion after a drive & all 3 are cold & bought new tires but there's still vibrations! I took engine & gearbox out from our old van & there was absolutely no vibrations...

    One of my cars have a -89 318 with only (& so far) heades, intake & carb done, & it's just a daily driver but later on a wilder cam & stuff is gonna be done to it. The other day it just died & stated after a while & next day too so I figured the -77 coil is showing its age. Then planning...

    I'm wondering about if there's any use to bore a 318 to a 340 or would the cylinder walls become to thin then? Anyone who's done that? & how good & reliable would it be for daily use?
