Thanks guys. It's not a big deal to get a std. pump since my maint. Guy at work already said he'd buy th HV for his smallblock he's building if I decide not to use it. It is destined to be a street motor, actuall not far from a daily driver. I'm not gonna be unrealistic and say I'm not ever...

Ok so i was just wanting to get some more experienced input on this subject. I am building what would be considered a mild street 318. I bought a new m72hv oil pump for it. My uncle, who granted is no motor guru, but has built more than myself said it wasn't a good idea to use it in my motor...

I was just putting it out there. Wasn't really rod ratio I had in mind . Although I guess it wouldn't be a bad thing. I have just been scouring different sources of info to find different ways of upping output on a shoestring with as little machine work as I can get by with. I thought since they...

You can get rebuilds for about $40 a piece. And they come factory with arp fasteners! Anybody with more wisdom than myself feel free to chime in. As of now I'm seriously considering this.

Was wondering if anyone has tried viper rods in a 318. I've heard of them used on some stroker builds but I was wondering...they are basically the same as LA rods, but the wrist pin bores have to be honed out about.039. But they are .098 longer. Since 318s run similar distances below factory...

I have both manifolds never been seperated and a carb that I'm sure would need gone through. I'm at work right now. PM me if your interested and I'll dig it out and go over it tomorrow and see if I can't get you some pics. I don't think I have kick down or linkage for it.

Ok made it out to garage today. My heads are actually #4027596 (81-83 hipo heads). My book just gives a range on combustion chambers for these, 66-72.5cc. Block #s are 4104230-318-2, I have two sets of rods 3418645 and 2899469. Are one of these more desireable than the other, also did mopar...

Like I said I can't remember the casting# and not where I can check right now but the 75cc sounds like mine. I know they're open chamber. Was really hoping to come up with some 308s for it anyway. Speaking of.... I've got the cop car heads and a set of small valve J's. I'd trade both sets...

Not being a pest at all rick, I came here for input! Also hearing about the 69, I wonder about my motor. It was already torn down when I got it, but it came from my uncle so I know it's legit. I remember him pulling it from a diplomat cop car. It came factory with a windage tray, Molly rings...

Already planning on a Balance job

Thanks Treblig I'll definitely start looking I appreciate the link for the KB's, but that's out at least for now. I'm just trying to get this thing together on the cheap utilizing as much of the stuff I already have as possible. I just want to drive the dart again so that means the 318/727...

Is there a decent moderately priced piston with enough height to bring a 318's compression up to say 9:1 to save some machine work? Hyper or regular ole' cast either one? Thanx guys

Are these the same between early and late A's??

Thanks Jim and 72!!!:burnout:

Cool I was thinking somewhere around 1.14 maybe even a lil' more. Heck I was planning on running 1.03 with the small block. Is your sons car small block or big block?
