Who cares about the LS.
I wanna know what the engine is and if it takes Krazykuda to post all the boobies in the world to get us there I'm all in!l

Agree, I think the valve train is where they skimped on their newer stuff.

Looks like a 318

Pulled a valve cover, looks clean inside! Rockers look almost new...can’t be originals can they? Double springs...
There is a big “360” and looks like a 915F? Exhaust manifold number was no surprise, 318/360 truck.

Eddy 600 carb
Looks Good Keith, 318sWillRun and they are a lot easier on gas than the 360s for your wife's car.
Tweek the 318 and good to go . . .
1406 Edelbrock, That's perfect and can tell it's a little bit newer one by the 2 low speed idle screws with the torx bit hole in the heads. Older ones had Straight Slots only on the 2 screws.
See something that says 318 on that Auminum 318 4 bbl intake.
Also looks like the guy was running his vacuum advance on the wrong lower port where the vacuum is full on all the time. Where it should be on the upper left one, the one he has blocked off. That could make it run funny . . .

That's not double springs, it's a spring and a damper on the inside... That's normal for stock 340 cam engines.
However, I would recommend that you replace them as it looks like this one has some cracks....

I seen that but it looked like a little dirty film, I’ll look at it again better though...I’ll probably pull it apart eventually...I don’t need the intake, carb , and exhaust manifolds... those items will be sold

318 with good heads on it and 340 springs...probably cam too.
Dont let it rust now ;)

Could even put a set of the closed chamber 302 heads on that 318, from the 86 to 89 D100s 318s. Rockauto is working on doing another run of those. Really make it talk !
Nice Runner . . .
The intake is an SP2P-318. Small ports for trucks and mileage.
Cool, Good info
So that 318 alum intake would match up to stock 318 heads (and the 302 heads) for good port flow. Just like the LD4B 318 alum 318 intakes.
--------------------------------------------
OK, sounds like the SP2P-318 Intake is built for mileage not performance like gliderrider06 says.
LD4B is a better choice if you can find them for the 318.

Was in Tulsa yesterday helping a mech. friend w/ a plumbing problem , he had a late model GTO that had a rod kicked out in it , and was changing out a ls that he was going to rebuild . The 6 bolt mains looked impressive , All the crap that it takes to make one run is a loser to me tho !
I would like to build a 434 sbc , " if " I were going to build another car , but that probly aint happening . What would be even better would be to buy one that has a 3,000 mile / 5 yr. guarantee on it , with well over 600 h.p. ----white automotive in Kingsbury Tenn.
A LD4B would be a better choice if you are looking for more performance over economy.
318-10. bottom of the ladle on the pores for the day. Will have some porosity but what a score. Very clean. And the heads were a bonus. That trans should have a part throttle kickdown servo. Another bonus.
Thanks for showing the details and pictures of the SP2P intake. First time I have seen that one, now I know what it is about.
Yes very small runners. Heard they were built back in the day during the Gas Crunch days, sold to improve gas mileage was the main intention.
That's why I bought the one I have, to try on my Ramcharger. If I can only find a day to get it on. If it sucks, I'll throw a performer on it.
Should be good for low end torque and it is going to flow into the head without the turbulence. Like that part of it.
They look like 318 rockers 340 are different . Make sure the rocker is not hitting the retainer, The underside on 340's are machined out for clearance. They will work but they will rub.

I'd be interested in more info and pictures of that intake manifold. How tall is it? An LD4B is too tall for my A100 engine cover on my 273. PM me if you want.
Thanks, Richard Sweet

Basically it's a pos, they'd still use that tech/theory if it was worth a **** .lol
I'd rather use a webber progressive 2 barrel and 1 1/2 inch primary headers with all kinds of vac advanc. Probably about the worst thing edelbrock designed. Imho
Let's just say this... when you go to swap meets and see the guy with the big blue tarp littered with intake manifolds for sale....mostly... those are all the banished pieces of **** nobody wants..and you can count on seeing the sp2p intakes...should have called it "the asphyxiator"
They are like pooping through a straw. Teem that intake with a drivers side exhaust manifold and you have a recipe for disaster. LOL
