How About Building Me A 318
I will be picking up a complete 79 truck 318 motor likely needing a rebuild that got left at the machine shop. This motor will be going in my 47 Dodge sedan with a 42RH, 71 B body 8.75 and 3.55 gears. There will be NO racing just cruising, local shows and a couple of long distance shows. For eye candy I intend to top the motor with a D66 I’ve acquired from another member with correct rebuilt carbs, with jets suited for a 318, and correct progressive linkage.
My intentions are to rebuild/replace parts as necessary. please don’t tell me to go with a 340/360! i’d be perfectly happy cruising around with the 318 with the dual quads. I do intend on changing the crank to a forged unit I have on hand along with a set of full floating rods I saved from a 72 truck. Other than that, build me a reasonable 318 for my 47.
