on a 85 318 how thick are the stock head gaskets?
just figuring numbers way to much...lol really just wondering, and never really herd any body say.why,lol?
85 318 with 302 heads bunch other craigs list junk gonna throw together and stick it in an 73 duster as light as i can get it and see what it runs, no budget, few brains, even less manners, no street,digger only with only safety and speed in mind, just something to do...I do the same. Just curious what are you building with your 85? I have a 86 318 I'm building.
Cool. I measured my old 340 steels and got .022, that was mega years ago.just figuring numbers way to much...lol really just wondering, and never really herd any body say.

Mine was out of a truck so I didn't have to deal with the roller cam you can switch to s hydraulic lifter cam with your block you just have have to switch pushrods the rollers ones are shorter. I got a Ford 8.8 rear end with 373. Unfortunately I'm stuck with stock stall for now cant afford anything else lolsounds lot like my deal, motor outta a 85 diplomat runs like a top and didnt use oil! gonna get started home porting these 302s on it and get bigger valves installed. its a roller motor so i got a deal on a ...hate say it out loud mutha thumper roller cam and a street domonator intake holley 650 mechanical secondary's duel line, headers 2800 stall! need a rear end wanting 4:10 or lower gears then thin this duster down to meth head weight!! finding pistons a bit aggravating less ya buy a stroker kit witch id do but ant in the budget and heads already limited...but its what i got so going with it!
Yea nothing wrong with the rollers for sure! I'm gonna run my original 7.25 as long as I can I had plans on doing a 83/4 later on but stumbled upon a thread on here about the 8.8 and just so happen to find one for 100 bucks I couldn't pass it up! I'm gonna take my time with it get the car the way I want it then start with the rear. The 7.25 has 2.76 gears so the 373 will be a positive step when ever i get to it. I have 360 core waiting whenever i can afford to have it gone thru. It may never get done hahaconsidering a 8.8 my self,..or find a dana and cut it down. like'in the roller's!
Yes, 318 pistons are a challenge.... KB's are about it for real compression.finding pistons a bit aggravating less ya buy a stroker kit witch id do but ant in the budget and heads already limited...but its what i got so going with it!
