Had a guy in Carolina build the short block for me and it just never seems 100%. Piston slap maybe, But was a smokin' mf'er because I don't think the rings seated. Turned and walked away.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

I know someone that had that car when we were in high school.. no idea where he is $$$-wise but if you ever decide it needs a new home.. he has ALWAYS wanted to get another one

that's what I am saying - externally and more so, dimensionally, they are basically the same

The engine before that in that Challenger was a 360 I had a different shop in Carolina build me was around 3k. They missed a crack in the cam chest area. That engine never made it past break in. Chris not the only one who's had problems with machine shops. lol

the real question is: will you be able to play the piano afterward!?
because the hemi costs like oh i dont know 15 grand..... now what is highly temping is a modern "Hemi" like from the chargers as I do believe they have the same bellhousing pattern as a 318.....that's what I thought - - so my question to Chris is - why not just get a Hemi!!??@dukeboy_318

a couple of pounds... damn krazy bastard - you have to know doing that alone isn't a great idea.. (not that that would ever stop any of us..)
my kid & his friend were with me... I didn't think that only the linkages could support that....
