Hydraulic Roller Lifters

Too bad you already bought pistons cause that is what that engine really needs is the right pistons to get that compression up. Once you raise up compression then bolt on 340/360 heads it will run good. But with those pistons in the hole and the big chamber heads compression will be low. Thinner head gaskets will help but compression will still be low. You can play around with some numbers here:

The pistons cam with the crank and rods I purchased from a member here. I will take that into consideration when I pull my other 318 in my '90 Dodge D150. I'll keep an eye open for the magnum heads or 302 castings. If I cannot find any close by, I'll have to have the stock heads worked.
