    Restoration woes

    Yes, I had a 67 engine so the intake should match up to the 318 heads. I say should because I think I recall that the LD4B manifold I have wouldn't bolt up to the 318 heads but would bolt up to the 273 heads. When I was using the 1970 318 that's in the car now, I used the 273 intake and heads on...

    Restoration woes

    As they say, timing is everything. Each time I have checked, there have been none - at least none nearby enough to go and inspect before buying. As far as any posted on this site, that it true. I have read posts back 60 pages and found a few. Even found some in the for sale section. But none...

    Restoration woes

    I’m restoring my 67 Barracuda back to stock. Unless I can find a 273 Commando engine (original was destroyed), even a short block, I will be forced to turn a 318 into a “Commando” version, complete with domed pistons and a suitable solid lifter cam. I haven’t read about anyone doing that on this...

    Why are 318's low HP and torque?

    They are essentially the same engine, and have identical horsepower and torque ratings 230hp/340ft lbs. Same bore and stroke - pretty much all the same as far as the short block goes so they should have the same longevity. Most polys had solid lifters so they have a bit more maintenance. Some...
