Seeking 318 rebuild advice
Thx again guys.
Trying to keep engine costs down as the Satellite needs some metal work, for example, rebuilding the lower rear window frame and usual qtr panel cancer.
Definitely plan to go with dual exhaust. Very happy with the Accurate 2.5" on my RR.
Hopefully the bores will clean up without an oversize. Hardened seats to handle Kalifornia gas.
The Mancini Clevite 77 C kit has Sealed Power (moly) rings, Sterling (cast) pistons, Clevite bearings, Melling oiler, fel pro set @ $400. Is this a reasonable approach or ?
Fabricated an engine/trans dolly which includes provision for K frame (pic1). Installed the dolly/K/440/727 assembly by lifting the front and rolling the assembly underneath. Would like to do same with the 318. I understand the K is the same for V8s except hemis?
The rear of the assembly is secured with a brace (pic2) attached to the 727 at the starter mounting on one side and the lower engine/trans fastener location on the other side (pic1). The brace sits in a cradle on the dolly. I'm assuming I'll have to fabricate another rear brace to fit the 904 and starter fastener locations.
