Super rare 318 "Y" block................(wonder if it's a "Foraud?"

[67Dart273]

Because NOTHING says "I know slang car talk buzz words" like using the WRONG buzz words with......the other words.

Not only is this the exceedingly rare 318 "Y" block, it's the "one off" 707 transmission!!!! LOL

318 Y Block with a 707 trans
318 Y Block with a 707 trans - $800
Strong running nonsmoking early 70s 318 Dodge engine and 3 speed auto transmission. Make me an offer or trade something you no longer need. Would like to get $800 or trade for equal value.

Once they are on the pallet, they are cores. and seeing as they are: "old", from a somewhat undesirable vehicle, and common as dirt.......I think the rare would apply to the air he is breathing, as in rarefied.

Did you forget you posted this one once...starting to get that old "CRS' disease?

actually - - A series Chrysler small block V8 engines -277, 301, 303, 313, 318, and 326

commonly called 318 poly engine - but, being as the engine in question is a 1970 (or so says the ad) it's an LA series, so you're right, the guy IS high

Except that terminology is used by people who are attaching another term. I've heard the A series engine called Y-blocks for years now. They ain't Y-blocks.

A Y-block is actually a Ford engine. It refers to Ford's first overhead valve design, the 239, the 272, 292 and 312 or any Ford (corporate) engine with a stacked intake port design.

Call me anal with my terminology, but when someone says they've got a 318 sitting around I'd like to know if it's an A and an LA.

Just like when guys say they have a Chevy 427 six pack. Neat trick getting a 340 or 440 intake on that Chevy engine.

And don't even get me going on "small block" Fords.

OIC what he was saying - at 5am I was just thinking "yea, there's a 318 that's not an LA engine - it's the poly 318" - and you're right, I believe I have heard it called a Y block - and I have never dabbled in Ford so I was unaware of their Y block. - thank you for clarifying! Cptn.Anal - LOL (hey, you said call me anal...)

Scamp Mike, That would actually be "wide" block and not "Y" block.

And that is not true ether. The blocks are the exact same diamention as LA and Magnum block & save a few differences, basically identical. And no, not without some major skill and time involved, you can not use a poly block for LA/Magnum heads.

I'd love to hear your take on the super rare 707 trans!!!!

^^THIS^^ It's mildly irritating to call a poly a "'wide" block because, well, they ain't......wide. The block, that is.

And no, I've NEVER EVER heard of any engine referred to a Y block except well, "a Y block." as in 239? 272/292/312 Ford. And, it turns out, they ain't slow, either.............

This was in 2013, over 147 in a unibody Ford pickup with a 3xx something cid Y block

Cheap pharmaceuticals, maybe.

The stacked port design has it's draw backs. Mostly because they take a sharp turn around the head bolt.

I've been wanting to lay my hands on the 239 in the '54 to play with a bit, but it ain't broke...

The engine was a low mileage rebuild. Do I tear it apart and play? Do I leave it alone and put a four barrel intake and teapot on it, add headers and duals and go? Been trying to talk Pop into tearing it down sooner rather than later and check cam specs, etc. It's got the external oil line on it for the rockers. Did the rebuilder put in grooved bearings to solve the oiling issue? Is the external kit overkill? Inquiring minds want to know.

Must be a geographical thing.

I've heard the poly referred to as both a "wide block" and a "Y-block."

As someone mentioned it could just be were your from. It is often called a wide block. And yes I know it is t any wider than any other LA block. Remember my old post showing the two blocks side by side? Thus proving that?

I think it just gets the wide block monkeier due to the intake manifold and head visual at the bolt angle where they meet.

Personally every time I read a post from down under stating "Extractors" for what we call headers drives me batty! LMAO!
But I have gotten used to it.
