x2 this is what i'll be running in my stroker 318 wen i get the break in mileage dun :) :burnout:

ok almost took a month but a few finacial set backs and hurdles with my engine install and it's all in and running :burnout: with no oil leaks and steady 50psi oil pressure at idle fighting a few probs with timing and carb tune up but i will start a new thread for that, just wanted to update...

Another thought and problem i had is the throttle cable, might be sticking/hanging up somewhere between the pedal and the carb linkage. I fought with my carb and i think i had over tighened the hold down nut because it would stick open and idle would slowly lower, made shifting into drive a lil...

gotta love when shipping error holds up a repair job :banghead: didn't know what brand you were going with :) just wanted to share my experience with my build and i'm happy with the results, are you mechanically inclined? reason i ask is the timing chain seems intimidating but not impossible...

Zelus, sorry if i misinformed you i was referring to the butterflies at the bottom of the carb, the secondary butterfly plates are mechanically linked to the primarys and they should open and close freely with the linkage, the upper plate on the secondaries is counter weighted and only opens...

yup thats def on my checklist before it drops backin, pretty sure it was the pan gasket though. Poured oil out from there wen i tilted the block back, hole was prob 1/4" wide X 3/4" long, so i think it was puking outta there gettin thrown around by the flex plate soaking everything and dripping...

oil pans all resealed and gunna try to drop it back in the car this eve or tomorrow looks like the ears on the rear main seal were protruding past the rear main and stickin into the oil pan mating surface on rr corner, i tried installing the pan and it was pushin the gasket/seal out again so...

mullinax95 that blurry shot is the corner of the oil pan looks like the rubber end seal is twisted and buggered up :( guess i was in too much of a hurry and didn't take time cuz i thought it should be easy and look what that got me lol robbie thanks for the tip I'm just a backyard wrencher...

ya while i was hoisting it up i had to tilt it back quite a bit and alot of oil poured out from the rear end/crank area i will use your advice oldmanrick and pour a lil more oil down its belly and watch real close where its coming from. I've done the oil pan gasket a few times over the years...

ok guys tell me what you think pulled the motor n looked for oil at cam/galley plugs no trace on paper towel so i used baby powder like this then used 30psi in the compressor and blew all the powder off everything looks dry right? well i think the oil pan gasket is to...

x3 on the double roller, i got mine from comp cams, pre stretched chain and new crank and cam sprockets which can be indexed to advance/retard cam degree in 4 degree increments def worth the few extra bucks IMO

i have edelbrock 1406 on my 80 ramcharger and 70 dart, both are mechanical secondaries and open when i move the linkage agree with other loosen the carb mounting bolts and lift the carb up a lil to see if it frees up, also check the linkages for bent rods etc i had a large buddy lean on my...

what temp is your new thermostat? i had this issue in the past and had to use a race only tstat and also got dual 10inch electric fans and wen i drove the car from canada to calif for mopars at the playboy mansion it never moved off 185

oh and just so i clarify there is no smoke coming out the exhaust just drippin down onto the headers and burning off there on both sides and similar amounts too, sorry if my other post sounded like the exhaust had smoke in it

ohh and forgot to give you guys a laugh from my ford neighbour, he's a good body/paint guy but clueless on mech issues. his wisdom was to run it for awhile and see if the seals tighten up. No way in hell i'd take advice from him just thought it was funny for ford guy to run a motor n hope it...

ya i don't want to pull the motor either lol few years waiting to get it all back together and now so close but guess i don't have much choice :( pulled the starter and inspection plate today (again) the flex plate now has oil on it after sitting so i'm guessing it coming from up high on the...

:banghead:Arrrrgh :blah5: replaced intake gasket and made no difference to the amout of oil leaking out!!! was very careful with the install let rtv set up before assembly and cured 24hours before firing it up. I made everythin sparkling clean before firing it over and wiping all areas at...

just a quick update;, didn't get it done for the mopar show or for my son's first bday party on saturday and today the beach sounded much nicer than turning wrenches in the heat. I got new intake gasket set felpro pn: ms90109 and will begin rippin down (hopefully if the wife allows lol)...

evap i run pvc and k&n breather not sure if thats what you mean but thats what i got lol and i'm thinkin of pulling the intake and redoin that just to completly rule it out or hopefully cure my ailments

opps heres the one with a drop on the flex plate could've just been a drop caught mid flight.....fingers crossed on that one haha

i got a few pics snapped first one is just after shut off and shows the leak in all its glory:banghead: another pic looks like a drop on the flex plate but others clearly show streaks runnin down the sides f inspection cover, wiped a clean shop rag on the flex plate and...

ya thats my next step i got the block wiped n cleaned up best i can and haha i'm sure the wife will enjoy startin it up while i climb to the under belly and try my best to dodge drops of hot oil!! Thanks Rick and everyone else I'll snap some pics next time i'm out there too and see what...

wow thanks for the amazing fast responses guys!!! I checked the valve covers and intake area at back of block ( ya i used the cork gasket there) and wiped all surfaces with shop towels and only a faint trace of oil at rear of passenger valve cover. I got the car up on ramps and looking...

Hey everyone I'm stumped on this one, My 318 was rebuilt to a 392 with 302 heads and i used arp head studs and torqued to spec. Machine work and rotating assemly install was done by Carlson Machine in Salmon Arm BC:burnout: in 2010, but an injury stopped me from bolting it all up until...

follow up on above post..... edelbrock oils are being made by torco advanced lubricants, a company im not familiar with but seems they do alot in the racing industry so maybe these oils are not as frightening as i first thought

anyone have thoughts/opinions on the Edelbrock SAE30 Premium Break-In Oil for High Performance Engines or Edelbrock 10w40 Zinc Enhanced Performance Oil? I can't seem to find any reviews or technical info on either and am a little skeptical on oil from a large manufacturing corporation I'm...
