So now that its been established that my poor junkyard 318 (the 72 dated block) needs over bored, I took it off the stand and to the shed it goes because it will absolutely be bored out and built but not today.
The next one on the stand is another 318. This one ran as of last summer when the trailer park residents lost their trusty valiant to pay for their drug habits. The car is meeting a slow death but gave us a running 318.
Despite running, it will probably need over bored but what old 60s or 70s vintage engine doesn't.
So in this episode we are going to clean, disassemble the valiant heart and micro measure it to see if its a candidate for a simple overhaul or if it needs a trip to the machine shop like most of its similarly dated brethren.
At least this will be easier to work with because it turns freely and doesn't have a mouse apartment under the intake and in the oil pan.
If this engine overhauls on the cheap then it will go on to power another A body. It might be a 75 swinger, crew cab dart, or maybe a duster.
So the adventure begins..... again
Happy 318 day
