yea Headers will be the next issue i face. I dont want to spend a ton of cash on nice headers just to have to dent them up. I dont have an issue purchasing the Dougs or TTIs as long as they fit and i dont have to beat on them. I am running power steering in a 72 scamp. Any thoughts as to which...

Got the Flex Plate off of the Magnum that I bought. I made sure of that when I started this process. I just wanted to make sure that my continued thought was correct on VBELT set up with my plan at this time.

Yup good to go on the motor mount brackets. Good to know that my thoughts were correct. I am gathering parts right now. Ne EQ heads are not a performance head but for a mainly stock 5.9 with a cam upgrade he said that the new EQs with some extra work on their end (polish and porting), that it...

Hello all Newbie here, doing a lot of reading and I think from what I have read on this site, as well as seen in multiple videos I am ok but want to ask the question anyway. I have a 72 Scamp 318/904 that I am looking to do the Magnum swap in. Already have the Magnum stripped down in the...

thats what i figured but i wanted to ask the pros on here first thanks

Hello all Looking for insight Plan is to do a 5.9 magnum swap to carb using Edelbrok air gap 7577 intake manifold Holley 670 street avenger carb. Any hood clearance issues? Looking to put into a 72 scamp and not looking to modify the stock look. Thoughts?

Thanks for all the info. Will be back in the shop tomorrow giving it a shot!!!

Hi all My radiator has a small leak. By small I mean barely leaks, but it bothers me enough and thought I would look to take to to a reputable shop to take a look at it. Fluid needed to be flushed anyway. So I drained the radiator, disconnected the hoses and set out to do the trans lines...

I have a decent amount of funds set aside for everything. i dont want to go overboard in one area and not have my fund for other areas of the car. I have never had or built a motor, but my thought is this, I would like to build a motor or have it built for me than less than lets say a Blueprint...

Very true. Novice at that too. new computers, EFI additional wiring would all be something very new to me. However knowing how sometimes i get picky about things, even if i found a 5.9 magnum, i think i would have it tore apart. Not knowing the history on the motor i would want it inspected...

Do you need a mounting bracket for this? i thought i read where you mentioned this in another thread and there was something else that needed to be fabricated. OD is not out of the realm yet. Just making the hard choice on the 318 or the 360. I really need to talk to a builder LOL

Correct still in the planning stage that is for sure. I have at least a year before I make up my mind. All great suggestions and that is why i really love this forum. I will not be building this on my own so I will soon the on the hunt for a shop or work the a guy i know who build a lot of...

Wow I think i have read this 3 or 4 times. It is a lot to digest especially for me being a novice. I need to read it several more time. Few questions At the beginning you mentioned the 360 paired with the A998. Then at the end in the recap you mentioned using the 904. So whats the real...

my tab keeps going up LOL not going to be a race car by any means but I will definitely keep it in mind. A lot will come down to finding a shop that does goes work and what we come up with.

Learning lots. I do need to do some research on what I want to do with the rear end. The 7 1/4 rear right now isnt going to make it so that is for sure coming out. I would like to get a 8 3/4 rear for an A body but they are a tad pricy. My thought was to do it all at once while the car is down...

correct nothing crazy at all. a fun street car that is drivable and reliable in one package

Great information from everyone on here. Glad i have some time to make up my mind, research parts and get going on it. Mancini Racing which is a Mopar shop down the road a ways here in Michigan also has a stroker kit for the 318. Stroker Kit, 318-390 Cubic Inch, 0.984 Pin i guess i need to...

Do you have a stoker kit you would recommend? Also will the older 1972 block hold up to it? Several great recommendations I know I will have a hard time making up my mind

Budget really is not the issue right now. I am willing to spend the money I just am torn on what what way to go. When I pull the 318 out Plan to rebuild the entire motor with pistons rods, and all, or jump to a 360. Dont know which way to go so hearing different "recipes" that are out there...

That is a great looking engine!!! Do you know what kind of power it makes? What did you all do to it? Looking to do something in my 72 scamp with a 318

I just posted a new thread about building a possible 318 or 360 in my 72 scamp. Torn right now but this sounds like nice recipe for what I am looking for as well. Not looking for a street screamer but a nice all around driver, with enough power to have bit of fun, but mainly to take the wife...

Well If I went with my 318 I would be pulling it out and would be willing to spend on new pistons, rods, and what ever it needed to get some more HP. I am not just looking for bolt on mods. The engine needs to be freshened up anyway so if we are in there my thought was to replace a lot of it. I...

Thanks for the information and the trans recommendation. I will look into that as well. I think that will be the general consensus is to find a 5.9 magnum and drop that in. This will be my first go around with this type of swap so I am a bit new to finding everything that I would need to go with...

First of all, this forum is great!!! So much information to digest and to look at and to think about. Sometimes I get lost in thread after thread after thread. So purpose of this thread is to lay out my requirements for my build and see what suggestions you all come up with. I am prepared for...

thanks for the info! not a daily driver at all. I dont put many miles on at all. A few local shows in the summer, ice cream on nice sundays and thats about it. Maybe 3 fill ups last year is all.

Looking to get some thoughts and opinions from others out there on what are some good fuel additives to run in my Scamp. Have an original 318 scamp no mods. With the ethanol in gas I have been running REQ 89 fuel with no ethanol in the gas. I have been adding lead substitute and octane boost...

well guys i am pretty sure i fixed the issue and way easier than i thought. Just had to loosen that bolt a bit and slide the bracket back a touch. Sure did not think by the look of the bracket that it would have been able to do that but literally took 5 minutes. However this forum is great for...

As requested here are some more pictures nothing special just a nice original car. Dont know what I plan to do with it just yet. Leaning towards having what is already in it rebuilt and beefed up. Thinking of getting the 318 built up for a bit more HP and the 904 rebuilt to handle the power. Im...

love that Color Combo. Hows the dream cruise going? I only assume your attending

Is this the adjustable style switch that you are speaking of? looks like it has the same type of terminals for my current style. This is what i currently have
