    318LA build

    I'm assuming a mild build, so if the flat tops are stock and the compression is low, the Summit 6900 is my first choice for value. DODGE Summit Racing SUM-6900 Summit Racing™ Classic Camshafts | Summit Racing If by chance the pistons have a decent comp height, with a little more comp, this...

    340 piston

    Looks like Jegs may have a Speed-Pro set available. Worth a call... Sealed Power L2316F60: POWERFORGED PISTON - JEGS

    Turning torque for engine

    Seems you've been through everything and the tighter the engine, the more heat it creates. So, how about the gauge itself.

    La318 cylinder head question

    Being in the 120lb range, i think you may be happy with the 318 heads. If you have a big port intake currently, don't let that discourage you, it will be fine with the right gaskets.

    La318 cylinder head question

    Not sure if AJ went here or not, but...... If it's not disassembled yet, do a compression test on the other cylinders. Might give a indication of what your working with.

    not sure what to think ??

    Sure looks like it could be in another country, so i'll give them a pass. And the tag say's it's Dad's toy...so there's that :)

    How would you rebuild this 318?

    If everything else is in good shape, just repair the short block, get a gasket set, and move on...imo. I'm sure it's a fun ride just as it is.

    1973 360

    A average 70' 340 Duster ran about 97mph in the qtr. at 3300 lbs with driver. A well tuned stock 74' 360 Duster ran about 95mph at 3550 lbs with the same driver. That equates to around 235 net horsepower for both. Considering the lower comp. and 1.88 intakes for the 360, i'd say both engines...

    AVS2 650 Secondary Bog

    Might need to up the nozzle size. I know some have needed it, and the Eddy 1475 kit seems a little hard to find.

    360 vs 383

    I grew up ''car wise'' in the late 60'/70's and there were quite few 68/9 Road Runners around at the time. While they were a great performance value then, i think they also contributed to the lack of respect for the 383. Most dealers ordered the basic models that were column shift auto's with...
