Need advice on my 318

IIRC 67-69 and 80's LA rollers (which have the 302 head) are advertised as 9.2:1.

That's about perfect for pump gas 87 even.

No need to change pistons unless they're junk.

In case no one's mentioned it, you'll also need to address the K frame/engine mount issue, and some other minor bracket and cable stuff.


...and let's not forget gross vs net HP.


Yes, I've done a lot of research for the swap, and have sources for the mounts, throttle cable and go pedal, dropped centerline, etc.

I was under the impression the k-frame didn't need to be replaced because it was the same one used for the v8 version
