    LA aluminium heads on 5.9 magnum

    Hi guys, can somebody confirm please that i can run LA aluminium heads (edelbrock knock off) on a 5.9 magnum block if i use the PRW 3231812 rockers? Obviously along with hollow pushrods, but i will have to measure the length first. Some people say you need to drill the adjusters of the...

    Cylinder wall weld??

    Ok guys just to keep you updated whats going on: As when I pulled the bottom end of the 318 apart i found that one of the pistons had a massive crack in it, so i put all the 318 parts in boxes and they lay in a corner since then. But ive found a 5.9 magnum engine out of a 1997 Dodge Ram with...

    Cylinder wall weld??

    I took some more pictures of the misery: The piston has a little dent aswell from the part sticking into the cylinder (see left cylinder in 2nd pic)

    Cylinder wall weld??

    By the way, do all 318 blocks have the same deck height? Was the compression change only due to piston height?

    Cylinder wall weld??

    Thanks for that, actually 318 blocks are not that rare here in Europe too and quite easy to find, but they are obviously far from free, or pick one for 100 at junk yard or so... so I rather invest that money in the 360

    Cylinder wall weld??

    Thanks for all the answers! The story is actually I just broke my 0.30 over 360 block of my 408 stroker as the lower oil rings of two pistons broke and left deep scratches in the cylinder 1 and 4. I first thought about fixing it with two sleeves but with the machine shop prices over here that...

    Cylinder wall weld??

    Hey all, I just teared down my 1969 318 engine and found this (see pictures) between cylinder 4 and 6. As I thought I removed the thin stock looking head gaskets I wondererd if this is maybe done by the factory? Anybody seen something like that before? Actually I wanted to reuse the stock...

    Its a street car never used nitous flexplate is this one: TCI Auto 145200 TCI Forged Flexplates | Summit Racing when I change back to the stock converter I have to use the stock flexplate aswell because of the 5/16 bolts, any issues using a stock flexplate behind a 408? Sadly I am in europe...

    Second Hughes Converter desroyed??!

    When ever I installed the converter it moved freely forward and backward when the transmission was bolted to the engine. I first put the converter in the trans as far as possible, then bolted the trans and engine together, then pulled the converter forward to the flexplate and put the converter...

    Second Hughes Converter desroyed??!

    Hi all, I really have bad luck with my 904 trans behind my 408cui stroker. A few years ago, because of reasons I still dont know, my Highes 2500stall converter got desroyed while driving, the internals must have rubbed against each other and the whole transmission was ruined. It also destoyed...

    What i also did with no success till now was sticking 2 rubber hoses on the vent tubes, but issue didnt change. I will try to lean idle mixture now, so i will try to go for highest vacuum and then go 1/4 turn or so lean. The jet extensions seemed to help a lot of people, also read you need...

    318 garage clear rebuild

    What would be the downsides of using the xe274 cam, i thought that could work out fine with the 1.88 intake valves of the 360 heads and make a engine which likes a bit rpm, when the compression is high enough??

    318 garage clear rebuild

    I just got an offer to mill the block for 140€ plus tax in Germany so if the block would be zero deck, and with some flattop pistons i would be just over 9 to 1 compression with 73cc heads and 0.040 head gasket. So if I could find flattop pistons with about the same weight could i just...
