    Engine Build Tech Help

    So I'm trying to rebuild a 318 to throw into my Valiant. I've posted a couple other threads about this build and this is the latest update with me feeling like I'm either in over my head, or just got too excited about parts and didn't spec the correct parts. Basically I picked up a .020" over...

    Hastings Ring Gap?

    I'm actually starting to put together the bottom end of my .020" over 318 after way too many months (whoever it was on here that told me to pay them to build my motor was probably right), I'm finally measuring ring gap for the motor. Basically it's just going to be a mild street/strip motor, I...

    My First 318 Rebuild

    So if any of y'all have been following along with my "cheap" cam swap, you know that the cam went flat and put a bunch of metal thru my motor. So I'm planning on pulling the motor out this weekend and tearing it down. I have a couple of options for "while I'm there" projects because even though...

    cold feet about potential bad lifters

    Just picked up the summit 50052 cam kit for my 318, since I have a stock cam and a lifter tick, I figured I'd upgrade the cam while also fixing the noise. I just pulled the trigger on buying the cam (specced from the original 318willrun post), and then started thinking more about everyone's...

    No cheap Mopar valve springs?

I don't really wanna spend $100 on springs instead of $50, but that might just be the pandemic pricing. My bigger question is where...

    Freeze Plug Replacement Motor in Car

    What's the best method for replacing a freeze Plug without pulling the motor? My 68 Valiant just chucked one out the the passenger side bank while I was trying to pass someone. I believe it's the middle plug, but I haven't gotten a great look at it yet, since the motor's still hot and I'm...

    Temp Too Low???

    I've been super happy with my 318 powered Valiant, never had any serious problems with the engine since the swap. I've always prided myself on how cool it runs, about 160-170 under any conditions but Seattle traffic. I've got the gauge installed to read from the top of the water pump, its a...

    Do Shorty headers fit factory exhaust?

    I want to preface this post with the fact that I'm 17 and basically clueless about the hobby, but I'm trying to learn. I have a cracked manifold on my 68 valiant's 318. I'm wondering if you guys would know if the headers I found that jegs is selling could fit my car with no exhaust...
