and the 305 is less than 3 3/4" so much smaller than a 318. neil.

a big hammer and a bigger hammer. hold the bigger one behind the rivet and hit the other side with the big one. it'll help if the rivets have loosened but not so much if the holes are worn oversize (wallered out, lol). neil.

:rofl:

nice neat repair there :thumbsup:

and that 6.1 cfm would be slightly less once the 318 block is bored 30 over like the 360 bore you tested. :thumbsup: neil.

looking good :thumbsup: without looking back has the motor been broken in? if not i'd do that before getting the headers coated in case the process damages the coating. neil.

if it won't fit use an adjustable reamer to open it up to size. :thumbsup:

at the very least the single section should be a bigger bore than the dual section or it 'could' be a restriction. all down to the power of the motor i guess. neil.

i have those kb399 domed pistons for my own 318 build too, mainly as i'm using 2.02 'j' heads which wouldn't help the already low compression with stock pistons. neil.

any reason you didn't go with a 'true' dual system including a second muffler the other side? neil.

not sure if it's been mentioned yet but gm ls engines often have smaller bores and 2.00 to 2.08 valves stock. people don't shout about bore shrouding all the time with them do they? it just seems with mopar folk most just dismiss the 318 as never being able to make hp so say anything they can to...

surely no, because unlike (for example) a small block ford the valves aren't in/ex/in/ex/in/ex/in/ex so only 2 cylinders would see any benefit. the other 2 would be worse. neil.

i had a 'glass lift off hood on the 66 big block fairlane i had a while back. it ran hotter than i liked until i adjusted the rear hood pins up giving about an inch and a half gap across the cowl. it was a double edged sword of plus'.... it ran cooler and on cold mornings the heat demisted the...

or black duct tape over the bit that'll show once you've hung a radio in the hole, then the radio will cover the rest. done :thumbsup:

you won't need to if you do the job in situ. just tape some card over the inside of all the glass and go for it. neil.
