Some of you may already know about my latest combo that Ive been putting together, but Ill go ahead and give a quick rundown. 65 valiant .030 318 302 heads ported to 360 sized port windows 1.78/1.60 valves Summit SUM-6901 cam 8.6:1 calculated compression ratio Magnum exhaust manifolds 2 into 1...

I was assembling my 318 shortblock yeaterday, and I noticed that half of the rod caps didn't have the oil skeeter holes for the opposite piston in them.

Hey guys, i gots another question for the experts. In adding up the numbers on building another 318 shortblock to replace the one that i blew, i just cant keep myself from going back to this idea: What IF i picked up a 5.9 magnum engine from the auto salvage, with say maybe a 100k miles or so...

So a little backround first: Got a 65 Valiant that ive been working on for approximatley 8 yrs or so. I transplanted the original, great running, never been rebuilt, 90k original mile 318 from my 73 challenger into the car. It would have remained just that way but my buddy broke 2 bolts off in...
