So I have some vacation time coming up.
So my co workers asked "you going to Vegas and party out your vacation, maybe come back married"
I replied " not a chance, I have cars to build"
So my vacation is being planned around a 70 dodge D100. Original slant six truck, I pulled the original slant out and it's toast.
So the next natural thought is to replace it with another slant that runs.
Ok, so I have another slant in stock and it does run so I just need to swap the motor mounts and oil pan and drop it in.
Then i had a thought. I have a 66 fury with a poly 318. It does run. I really don't see myself spending big money to make a performance engine out of the old dinosaur but since it runs, there is no way I am throwing it away. I am not really wanting to leave it in the fury because it doesn't fit the goals of the fury.
So tonight I had a thought hit me. I have been hearing over and over that poly 318s make good truck motors. (You can probably see where this is going)
70 dodge D100 + 318 poly:
Good idea. Or Bad idea????
One pro is it would be a power upgrade, although I don't need the truck to be a racer
One con is a 70 D100 was never available with a poly, by 70 they used an LA
One more pro is it would be a good home for the dinosaur poly.
One more con is I don't know much about the poly so what do you guys think.
