The fact that Pristine is making sense is now confirmed:

According to his story, he deliberately cut someone off, and you are saying no one was endangered. I don't see the two as being parallel in meaning. I'm sure if he's knowledgable, or at least humble, he'd be welcome on Devilbrad's forum. :dunno

For those of you who can't figure out present and past tense in a sentence, remember that people will read what you write, even if you don't know how to write it.

Yup, check your torsion bars. They will be too small for the 360. A good upgrade would be antisway bars.

I don't think anyone is saying to run one or the other, except to say that running the stock EFI after building a decent motor is a waste of money. Also, anyone who figures a 318 won't pull 13's is being silly. A 69 340 had 275hp, (some would say 325) and it got an A body into the 13's. Why...

buy it, its worth it and if you don't want it, can be resold to another A body fan easily.

taking it easy on a trans for a few miles is for two reasons. First, it ensures all air pockets in the maze of passages are forced out and the fluid fills and operates the trans as it should. Second, if new bushings have been put in, it gives them some time to work in before slamming the trans...

Grill is 72 only, fenders will work on Dart Demon for 70-72, trunk lid will work on any 70-76 swinger or valiant/scamp, doors are specific to the 70-72 Dart because of the wing window.

73 Swinger going up for sale, 318 4BBL AT fresh gold paint. Not sure of price. An internet buddy of mine is selling, and from what I've seen is a reasonable person to deal with. I am not otherwise connected with this sale, nor can I vouch for detailed condition of car. Just figured a heads...

There were no Dart 340's in 1972, unless they were somehow optioned without general knowledge. The 1972 340 Dodge A body cars were all Demons. The info you are looking for would be to reassemble the engine bay as you found it, but without the dirt or rust. No matter what small block the car...

Also, what if the locks and the retainer are stuck, and it requires a bit of persuasion? Tapping against air pressure won't work so well.

This assumes that the valve and seat are in good condition, and that the engine doesn't have any more than the normal leakdown issues. If you are changing the stem seals, the chances are neither are true. Also, for those without an air compressor, it beats the hell out of using a piece of...

When changing valve stem seals, pull the spark plug and instead of compressed air, shove a length of line into the cylinder. Tie a know in one end for easy retrieval. Then back the piston up to TDC for that cylinder. It will hold the valve closed with no worry about losing pressure or fishing...

The Dart Lite four speed is an aluminum case as well.

The other difference is that the SP2P has correctly sized ports for the 318 heads.

If you are having a hard time getting 400hp from a Mopar 360, while two magazines and a factory engine builder find 380-400hp from 318 AND 360 cid, and while all the Chevy guys get 400HP from a 350 small block, I'm guessing something isn't quite right. If the Chevy guys are beating you with...

Ok, 1) 1.1hp per cube isn't exactly hard, let alone rocket science. 2) MP sold a crate motor which one of the generic car magazines tested, and found it made 400+ hp, with cast iron heads...

Without being able to control temp, the torch is obviously a second choice, and I would never approve "cherry red", since expansion, not welding is the idea.

Maybe find one on ebay or Craig's list.

We get spun up because Hot Rod shows and mags have a history of slighting the Mopar crowd and doing a real crappy job of building demonstrator engines. In one instance, one magazine declined to build a Mopar small block using the claim that it would not finish under the budget cap. We got a real...

I do my best.

I have virtually the same combo in a 340, and it makes 375hp or so. Did I mention a compression ratio? No? then it would be really hard for anyone to say if it would, or would not, make 400hp.

I've been in several machines shops that use a small "furnace" on the bench top to heat the small end of the rod for wrist pin installation. A torch seems primitive, but acceptable.

Budget build, yes, I know there are better available, but the combo above should find 400hp without too much problem.

That is a vacuum reservoir. If you cannot find one, a suitable container with similar volume can perform the same function. It allows for vacuum control of the heat and AC without messing with the engine idle. Page 24-43 of the 1973 FSM.

That car was supposed to run on CNG, if I recall correctly.

Which stock manifold on what engine?

Forget the government, each company wants to sell cars. Gotta start somewhere!

On the underside of the cylinder banks. One side will have time and date of casting, the other will have CID and a casting number.

Word has it that November fourth will be the day the new offerings will be rolled out.
