    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    Back to what we were originally talking about A swap to a bigger 2bbl like the 360s and 400s had. I know this also takes a manifold swap to do it right (I don't like those cobble- small 2bbl to big 2 bbl adapters) but it will come with a noticeable improvement in driveability on an otherwise...

    Is 20W-50 too heavy for my 340?

    I like delvac 15w,40 in my 1/4 million mile 318 Dakota. I've been a "10w40 in everything" guy FOR YEARS.

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    There's a guy on the /6 site that has all early a bodies ("Dart 270"-- aka Lou Madsen) who's run an a500 and has since switched that car to a gm 200-r4 in that car, I forgot what he liked better about them, other than size/ which in and of itself wouldn't matter since he's had an a 500 in that...

    Since when did fram market trans rebuild kits?

    The trans I'm considering this for isn't driven crazy, (hey it's a heavy late B body, 318, 2.76 gears) just starting to show signs that the piston seals are probably getting hard, still soften up and do their job as the motor warms up doesn't drive like it used to, until it warms up. Fluid is...

    Since when did fram market trans rebuild kits?

    Yeah I know about "cheapest" and I know of Fram's reputation on filters the last 10 years or so. But as with electronics ( voltage regulator, ignition boxes, caps rotors etc) I have better luck with "old stock" from brands that in some cases don't exist no more vs current new stock at most parts...

    Front End Alignment Los Angeles Area?

    When I left the underside of the alignment rack people were having conniptions because prices on a thrust alignment was going from $50 to $60. I paid $125 to have my 12, 1/2 ton 2wd done, I then bought a pair of Michelin tires for the front and the inner edges of both front tires were shot in...

    360 vs 383

    As long as you can ditch those dished pistons they castrated the 360s with, and get closer to pistons being 0 deck, Only then will the 360 have a fighting chance

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    This was a bit more than a carb/ intake swap but it is on a 318. For MY purposes it was a huge wake up for that engine. 83 D250 2wd 727 3.23 and 32" rubber (235/85-16 10 ply). It ran more than decent for what it was and how it got used stock, as I bought it. I swapped EQ heads into it, a...

    Timing Chain Cover crankshaft opening is the wrong size

    For less you can send it to one of 2 places and have it remanned. Damper doctor and damper dudes. I've used both. And you will prevent another "made in China" part from going on your car . .

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    But if you have another reason ( such as "need to replace the carb anyway because existing one is a lean burn version that doesn't have provision for vac advance nipple...) go for it, it definitely won't hurt. I'm in exactly that position with my 78 fury.

    2 barrel to 4 barrel

    Depends on the particular 4 barrel I had one one time that was completely bone stock, in a heavy Cordoba with 2.76 gears and swapping out only for a 2bbl 360 carb from the original (engine was a junkyard pull verified 40k mile lean burn engine, I put the original {dead} 360's intake carb and...

    What cam to use in a 318

    For street/ cruiser purposes I tend to stay in the RV cam range. Still a noticeable improvement over factory stock.

    70 Maverick came home

    That AMC wagon you got is cool too. Ive never been a Ford fan but I'd so rather drive a 70s maverick than the sorry excuse that Ford is currently calling a "maverick" Id rather even drive a pinto than anything Ford sells new today

    Vin trouble

    That 5th digit can't be an "0" I think aspens started with N, volares started with an H I could have that reversed. Haven't looked at the vin on mine lately. Looks like you bought a 78 Aspen. 5th digit is a letter that designates original engine size. Sure it isn't a "c" which would mean a...

    What cam to use in a 318

    All my old Chilton manuals said the 70s and earlier 80s 318s were 8.6:1 and 360s were "advertised" as 8.2- 8.4 but then in the 80s some of the 360s were advertised as actually being below 8:1, the heavy duty ones in 1 ton trucks and such being listed amongst the lowest. I wonder then if the...

    340 dual point??

    I have one for a 392 hemi which was verified as the same length as a LA small block. I have no idea how different it would be set up compared to a 273 or a 340 advance curve wise. Nor how tuneable they are. I have a (now buried) ad here for it and.... Crickets

    Since when did fram market trans rebuild kits?

    As title says. I wonder who actually made these kits for frame? I'm gonna have to go thru the 904 in my 78 fury. I'm not ready for it yet but I seen these kits on eBay by frame and was wondering about them? Looks like a banner kit with steels. KT1077
