I maybe able to get a FI 5.2 roller engine and the A518 for free. This engine has a ton of miles on ,over 200,000- maybe 300,000. I've heard the due to the higher nickel content used in the modern blocks...that cylinder ridge problems are not that common. Don't want to haul it home, if there...

Were 340 and or 360 exhaust manifolds the same for all body lines A,B,C,E ? Anyone got pictures showing the differences ?(if there were any differences). Is there much difference between 340 and 360 manifolds ? just asking ?

I've got a crank from my 66 273. Can I install it into a 1984 318, without rebalancing the engine assy ? Any other things I should know ? What about reusing my 273 rods into the 318 ?

Outside of OEM replacement roller cam for a 318LA. Is there much else made for a stockish 318LA daily driver in a roller that won't break the bank. Something with more lift/duration. But nothing stupid big for a daily cruiser. I mean how much lift/ duration would a stockish 318 handle, without...

What would be a good Honest size 4brl carb to use on a 318 LA daily driver/cruiser. Without over carbing it, like most people do. No headers, auto/ 2.76-3.23 gears/ electronic Ign, 204 duration cam.

The stock 71-74 mopar 360 2BRL cam 's spec are .. .410/.412 @252/256 so what would those durations be @ .050 ? also can THAT same came still be bought ? The specs changed in 75 to .410/.410@252/252 now this cam is still made by sealed power.

How much increase in oil pressure would I get by installing the mopar Hi pressure oil pump spring. I'm new to small blocks (have put washers behind the spring on BB) before. So how do you replace the spring (sounds stupid..but have never done this on a small block) right now I'm running about...

Will using full groove main bearing lower your oil pressure ? If so how much ballpark ?

I Fd up.:banghead: Did not check my block for being flat, and install a set of Mr gasket thin head gaskets. I got water leaking between the block and head. REALLY leaking, not just a seeping . The heads were surfaced and flat. Every thing was clean and dry. I did not use any head gasket sealer...

Getting ready to start my 273+.030, W/302 heads ,flat top pistons/ small summit cam/ 4 BRL. GM HEI, So what NGK should I buy ? The V power (part # please) , OR the G power plugs ( Part # Please )

I've just started to reassemble the bottom end of my 273 (built date 11-19-65) When I was checking the fit of my Melling M72 oil pump. Somehow to me the pump did not quite feel like it was fully seated. Like the drive collar did not fit correct. Even with the paper gasket , felt like the pump...

Is there a cam plug install depth ? or can it be installed to deep/ or not deep enough?

Seems everyone likes the Isky E-4 soild cam for their 273's .I'm not well versed in camshaft selection. At this point I would like to run a hydraulic cam. I read that a solid vs. hyd cam are two different animals. (but don't know much about that either). So if the Isky E-4 is such a good...

So is anybody using the NGK ZFR5N (3459) extended projected nose plugs in there small block ? If so what can you tell me ? good/bad

Just got a random question. If I were to increase my 273 +.030 compression ( with head change & thin gaskets). And was to increase from say 8.0 to1--to 9.0 to1 What would it do for me? More HP/ how much ? Torque/ how much ? Since 273 are not big in this area Gas mileage/ much if any...

Whats a decent timing set for a almost stock 273 daily driver (not going to be raced) . I was going to get a summit " true roller" $ 39.00. As much as I want to save money/ I don't want to do this twice. ( its not that much fun to do ) Also I read somewhere, that retarding the timing set 4*...

OK sound simple enough. I am buying a set of 302 heads (don't have yet) And I am using an Edelbrock performer Intake (318/360) dual plane. The ports of the manifold look to measure 1.00x2.00 . but don't know about port size of 302s. The gasket kit I'm going to buy says intake gasket port...

My gasket kit came with a oil pan gasket that has 2 larger retaining prongs/nubs (per end seal) My oil pan is old design and used end deals that had about 5-6 nubs (per end seal). Can I enlarge the holes in the pan/ and use the newer style end seals ? or just get a different gasket ?

Got the heads off my early 273. Never had a 273 apart before. At some point in it's life someone installed open chamber 675 heads and hydraulic parts. Back to the pistons. They are flat top , with 4 valve reliefs. Look to be .050 in the hole. The pistons are stamped .030. I'm guess that...
