Just an observation - One thing about 273 stock pistons - the wrist pins are insanely heavy, compare them to a late model 318. If you dont mind rebalancing the motor I'd look into getting some 318 wrist pins shortened to use with the 273 piston. I suspect mopar used these heavy wrist pins to...

Personally I like my 323's and relatively short 15" tires. But, I dont race, just cruise around and I like driving on the highway. I had a car with 3.91's and a 4 speed years ago and it was fun, but the highway drove me nuts, too many Rpms and too much engine drone. Its mainly a matter of...

You will need to remove the valve covers - the distributor is optional, but you'll want to be able to clean the gasket surface around that area. So, remvoing the dist will make that easier as well.

Car craft did a budget oil pan baffle on one of their mopar project cars probably about 7-8 years ago. Basically you make a lid for the sump with a square hole in the middle of it for the pickup, and you make a provision for the dip stick. This is all done using the pump/pickup and dipstick...

Definitely interested in the oil hole mod. Post more about it if you can !

No experience here, but I have a hard time believing that comp would make something that would not perform correctly. I am interested in the answer as I am contemplating buying a set myself.

2 bbl or 4 bbl ? Engine stock or modified ? Cam, compression ratio, headers, intake design ? Automatic or manual - rear axle ratio ? let us know and we can make suggestions.

If the iron piece is what youve got then run it. I ve used iron intakes with the TQ and been very happy. I'm one of those weirdo's that actually likes the TQ and would use it over anything else. But then Ive got a strip kit for mine...you can roll your own more or less on jets by drilling them...

I used a street dominator intake on a 318 with a TQ, its been a long time ago but it ran pretty well, but I never did do a proper comparison. For the money the old weiand dual plane intakes are hard to beat, i thought the weiand intake I used to have was actually better than the LD 340 I am...

I would definetly measure every pistons deck height, along with every other critical dimension in the motor as you disassemble it. Theres a wealth of information to be had by doing this. It tells you what kind of piece you are working with and what will need attention. Getting back to the...

I would think a small fly cut on top of the pistons will be all thats needed not a biggie - if at all. Measure your deck heights like someone else suggested on the pistons in your block you may not need to do anything ! Use the felpro thick gaskets which are .038 when compressed, and you should...

I personally dont like the 284 484 mopar cam, as others have said it will kill low speed performance in a low cr motor. But before swapping it I'd try like heck to make it work, check your carb calibration (pump shot), timing and mechanical advance curve. You want to get your advance in as fast...

BJR; thanks for the advice! I will get after these heads sometime this weekend. I have to finish screwing with the intake manifold first. I assume what you mean by making a mark with a sharpie, is to eyeball it and transfer the imaginary line for the inside of the pushrod hole to the inside...

Hi All ! Trying to sort out the last of details on my motor project for my 66 dart vert. I need some advice from experienced folks with porting the #302 cast late 318 head. Heres where I am. 1.88/1.60 valves installed, un-shrouded the valves somewhat, hard seats on the exhaust. Bowls...
