I have a 71 318 Truck block that was bored to 4.040 in my 66 Dart. The engine has KB243 pistons pressed unto 360 rods. The heads are closed chambered 315's off my tired 273 with 1.88/1.50 valves, ported 214 intake/165 exhaust with the chambers cut to bore and blended to heart shape. The cam is a...

Nice setup Seabee. Very similar to the 318 Justin built for me. It will move that Barracuda down the for sure.

Intake manifold leaked. All is well. Followed advise from FABO and fixed it. Thanks for everyone's input.

Perhaps you need to retread your post's. First mention of name was by you when you decided to get involved. None of this has to do with subject matter so please PM me if this is still something you feel you need to continue.

TX Dart, It is obvious you have talked to Justin. So have I, many times including when Rusty RR suggested it. I'm not on here to bash him or stick up for him. I simply asked a question about a coolant leak to allow me to move forward and get the car going. Thanks to FABO members help the leak...

Thanks for everyone's feedback. Going to get some new gaskets and put it back together. The intake sits in there w/o any movement and the holes seem to line up nicely. The gaskets were wet in towards the middle from the jackets and the bolts didn't have any sealant. If it still leaks then I'll...

Well if this looks good then I guess it is back to the drawing board. There was water laying in the valleys so I thought I had found the issue. What should the bolts be torqued to on alum intake? Should washers be used? Thanks

A few more......

I removed the intake today to see what I could see. First thing I found was that all bolts were only tightened to around 20#'s. The next thing I found was that the bolts had no sealant on them. I also found the holes reamed with a grinder on the intake. I have no idea why. These were 1966 273...

I did mean the oil pan plug. I'm having a hard time pin pointing the leak because it happened after I filled the radiator up. One day I added a couple of gallons but it wasn't enough to fill it. There was no leak. The next day I filled it up the rest of the way to top. I didn't notice the leak...

I'm really in a tough spot here and it has proven out that I made a huge mistake on who I picked to be my engine builder. It was 1wild&crazyguy (whom I'm sure some of you remember). I was impressed with his input and the feedback that he seemed to garner when he offered up advise. But he is now...

While I very rarely ever post, I use FABO constantly as a "search tool" to learn. But this time I have a real problem and would appreciate some feedback and recommendations. The engine is a 318 and was built by a local person here in the SD area. It is a 318 block with 273 heads that have been...

Very nice!!! I've been reading for over an hour and your 273 build post is full of great info. Thanks
