Just recently I replaced the stock 2bbl top end of my 318 with a 4bbl eddy intake and 525 vac secondary demon carb and replaced the camshaft. I am having a helluva time getting the car to run right anywhere in the rpm range even after messing with the timing from 0 up to 8 degress advance...

I am lucky this thread was started and so many responses were added. I replaced the cam and ignorantly put the marks at 12 and 6, had no idea of the one rotation rule, tried to start it nothing except my engine shooting at me. Just tried today turning the rotor 180 and first hit of the key...

Thank-you for your help and insight. I picked up a set of 360 heads and am just starting to put together a parts list for a streetable 344. You opened my eyes to a power output I didn think was possible with that kind of investment. Sorry for any bad grammar or spelling, the letters are...

If the 302 heads were gone over and the 1.88 and 1.60 valves were installed would they still work well on a 349? I already have a set of 302s that came on my donor engine and I like the idea of closed chambers.

thats what i figured

I am shortly going to start building my engine. I am keeping it a 318 and that has apparently limited my poston choice to KB167 Flat-top and KB399 Domed. I will be running my 302 casting heads with the closed chambers.... Will the 399 work with this setup or does a domed piston need an open...

I was about to ask the same thing, pros and cons... One thing I still need is where to get piston rings for a 30 over 318

i think the 340 was orange, but 318 was blue

66dartman, I have been looking at those exact same peices for a bit, they are decent prices compared to the likes of Summit. I will probly end up going in that direction, it is just a pain to think I need to add 20% to the price at least just to make up the difference between the US and CAN...

So far so good then, stay away from Eagle, alright, is there a better place than others to buy Scat? All in all this is sounding like an excellent alternative as long as everything mechanically checks out which I'm sure it will. Thanks Adam and mullinax for your input so far and anyone else that...

After a while of dreaming of a 318/390 stroker with alum. heads and all that good stuff I am realizing that I will either build a monster engine and live at home for years longer or use the 302 heads I have lying around and build a budget engine but still push 400hp. So, I am looking at building...

Thanks for the insight, I think I will start in one or two weeks.

I have a 71 Dart, 318 2 bbl, i want to put a 4bbl on and want to put in a mild cam just to better suit the intake, I was also thinking of putting the 302 heads on that I have lying around (I think my valve seals are gone in the engine in the car, lots of blue smoke at start-up but not when...

id look around at some known, goo name cams, and think aboout what rpm range you really think youll drive/thrive in. 4452761 260/272 dur 450/455 lift 1500/5800 rpm 179.95 4452992 280/280 dur 474.474 lift 2000/6000 rpm 179.95 i like the look of those numbers myself...

Thanks fore the info, thats all I need for now but I am sure I will have many more questions later.

Does any one know who makes a good mechanical camshaft for a small block. I am thinking of a 318/390 stroker. Any help with specs and manufacturer and if anything needs to be done to have solid lifters instead of hydraulic such as any changes in oilingto the heads? I really have no idea about...

Thanks for all the help, I checked the timing before I did anything, found it was TDC as OE says it should be... Changed the points to electronic and touched nothing else, checked timing and it was running at 8*, I think BTDC, but not sure, anyways it solved the problem, car runs perfect now...

I am looking for some Diamond pistions for a 318 to 390 stroker. I know they make them but I can't find any suppliers or prices, anyone have any idea?

Completly stock everthing. But I think the timing is going, it sometimes backfires through the intake when I am accelerating slowly and hesitates when changing rpms from low to high. The engine has quit on me a couple times. So I need help on how to time it and to what specs. I am not...
