    273 advise needed

    from the photos that's a lovely looking car with tons of potential and way, way too nice to part out. if you're in over your head on the motor, sell the whole thing to somebody else and search out something that's more in tune with your skills, budget or the amount of work you want to take on.

    273 advise needed

    +1 to everything max said. until you really do a tear down inspection everything is speculation. as things are discovered different plans will have to be made. for instance, if the bottom end is fine you can get away with a hone and re-ring and some bearings. but say the heads are waxed? do...

    Stroke a 318

    i haven't bought a stroker kit from them, but i picked up pistons for a build. i was more than pleased with the price and customer service. there was a little mix up with the rings and pins and even though it was months later they were excellent to deal with in getting it resolved. 10/10 would...

    Cost for labor on stroker build?

    i do not own a minivan. closest i've come there was a 68 chevy sport van 108. wonderful little van. 10/10 would own another one. your 2018 taurus looks like something a midlevel regional manager at ross dress for less would drive. that's like, the car that resourcing reserves for you on a...

    Where can I buy a reliable remanufactured 318 for 1971 Duster?

    i've had good luck with jasper and ATK and their warranties are pretty decent. the only issue is that most all of the long blocks they sell are smogger, so you'll need to seal up the air ports in the heads. if i was in your position, i'd go about it one of two ways. order up a short block and...

    not necessarily zooty, but what was available then at a reasonable cost. it's a basic build, but wouldn't exactly say it was bolt on. https://www.motortrend.com/articles/ccrp-0401-mopar-318-engine/

    i'm calling shenanigans on that 650hp 406 for 6.7. you'd need nearly half that in heads alone to put down that kinda juice. yeah, maybe he got some deals but two things: one, how long are those questionable parts gonna hang out-- especially if he cheaped out somewhere on something; and B- the...
