anybody know what the maximum overbore on a '69 318 is? I'm not planning on going to the extreme I just want to know where the safe zone is and where the point of hitting a water jacket is haha

I'm going to rebuild my '69 318 and was wondering if I should keep the stock rods or see if I can score some of the heavier '73-later rods. I'm sure the ones I have can stand the build and I'm not planning on gunnin' the engine to 6,000 RPM (all the time :-D haha ) but seriously should I get...

It might have good torque because of the rear gears too, don't forget about that.

I'm going to do some engine work and in the process I plan on boring out my stock '69 318 .40 over and I was wondering if I should go 3/4 or full groove on my main bearings?

because everyone loves conflict and is a hard headed old man haha. but I agree with moparkid340, I say just go for it and don't cut any corners.

I'd run medium grade gas just for peace of mind.

yeah i guess youre right man, maybe i should just bite the bullet

See theres another factor is the Magnum heads, I was looking into them but i'm using a 69 LA block, and the "LA Replacement" heads I was referring to are basically Magnum heads with the LA bolt layout (or at least thats what i THINK they are) and plus i'd need to get some kit for it to bolt on...

See I keep getting mixed opinions about the Intake ports, some guys say 1.88 and others say to open it up to 2.02. I'm leaning more towards the 2.02's because I plan on doing a valve job and all that machine work jazz but still im not sure... anyways though I havent started the engine build...

http://www.mopar.com/m_perf_subcatCheck.jsp?SubSubGrpID=50963&dummy3=1207187428917 heres the link to the heads from Mopar Performance. I just wanted to ask ya'lls opinion if it would be worth it to slap these on my 318, I was going to try and get some 302fastburns from a junk yard and get em...

im pretty sure you gotta get one that matches up with the magnum port layout. because if you use one for an LA head layout i'm pretty sure it wont match up right. i'm just assuming that youre asking wether or not ALL intakes will fit.

something along those lines would probably give the parts guy an idea of what youre looking for

Sublimeswinger and 73dodgesport thanks for the info thats exactly what I was looking for. and dartfreak thanks for the heads up on pricematching im definitely going to go that route. yessir it is and he is surely missed. dimeforever.

I dont mean to be rude or anything but I'm asking about piston choices and some tips on choosing the right ones...or suggestions on what company to go with. I dont know how this topic got changed to cylinderheads

oh and thanks for the heads up on the valve reliefs 73dartsport

yeah I was gonna zerodeck mine too im pretty much basing my build off the Enginemasters 318 article and the Hot Rod one about the Hi-po 318 they seem to get about in the 400hp range and thats about where I wanna be. I've been reading up a bunch and it seems like its the way I wanna go...

alright so I want to bore my 318 .40 over and im most likely gonna be running stock rods and crank unless i run across something but anyways i'm not sure what brand of pistons I should use. maybe go Speed-Pro? Keith Black? I'm thinking Hypereutectic either way but im pretty green on the whole...

whoops guess i read over it too fast
