No it's not wrong. You sure sound like a pro engine builder coming at me like you're pro. You know what we all start from the bottom as novice builders and learn from our mistakes into doing better. You know what I have no clue what the last owner all had into that 318 engine except for the LAST OWNER had Chevrolet small block connecting rods and Chevrolet pistons in it. The man was in his mid 70's so yeah he was old school and had ways he built his engines I am sure. So many of you coming at me like I am the one who built the engine need to understand something. I DIDN'T BUILD THE ENGINE, I BOUGHT THE ENGINE FROM THE VERY KIND GENTLEMAN. I bought the engine because I was going to buy it for a build myself. I didn't have a clue he had filler concrete mix in it until I was wondering why it weighed more than my 87 318 which is a standard block with nothing in it. After picking many brains on Facebook in what it was used for made sense in why the last owner did what he did. I am going to build it for drag racing with nothing but Mopar parts in it, with or without any of yall's help.
and here's the thing: you don't know that there were chevy rods and pistons in that thing! you think there were because somebody told you that. but unless it was together with that ****? it's all hearsay.
you don't and won't know a damn thing about this block until it goes to the machine shop. and that's a fact, jack. you can wish and hope and dream all you want about what it was or could be, but that is worth zero-pooint-zero until you establish what the *actual* specs of that block are.
until you have a machine shop look at it and TELL YOU what the deck height is and what the mains are and other critical measurements all you're doing is jacking a jaw about some magic beans you bought.
you want help, you came to the right place. but ain't nobody gonna be able to help you along if you won't listen.
