I'm building a 318 that will be running a hydraulic roller cam (most likely a Comp Cams Xtreme Energy 224/230). So a couple of questions: 1. Do I have to run the Comp Cams matching lifters, or will other brands of hydraulic rollers (Howard's, Hughes, etc.) be OK? My idea (if it will work) is to...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a mechanical fuel pump to use on a 318 for drag racing? Engine is a standard bore, stock stroke, 10:1 318 with 302 heads and a 650 demon carb. Cam is comp cams 268 grind flat hyd tappet. Car is going to have 4.56 gears. Would like to have a fuel pump...

up for sale is a set of 16, plus one spare, 3/8 sbm ball/cup pushrods. nice condition. unlike cut-to-lenght pushrods, length is exactly the same for all 17 of them. overall lenght is 7-7/16 inches , which is similar to 273 solid-lifter pushrods, only stronger at 3/8 vs 5/16. picture number 2...

There is no "best" head for a 318. No "best" aftermarket cam. #302's may be a bit better than a stock #675 318 head and a 340 head better than that. What about aluminum heads. That's a whole other story and selection. Let's not even get started talking about cams for a teen.

68 318 should be 9.2 to 1 compression,..id go magnum heads but im not skeered of the rocker system like most folks! but your 587s shaved .050 will work good to for 350 hp! id put a roller cam in it my self but SFT cam will work, id stay away from HFT cams but, 225ish duration @ 50 and 475ish...

I would avoid replacing the rings. It would be good to check a few main bearing but if they're good then leave them. A mistake while doing an at home hone, especially if you're inexperienced, and you're right back to needing machine shop services and possibly pistons. Magnums were efi and rarely...

My son bought this car on Monday and I drove a little over 2 hours to pick the car up. The Dart has the usual dings and chips you would find in a 51 year old car. Rust for a car that has been in the north east its entire life is minimal, drivers side floor has a few small holes and a little...

And there’s our resident expert without ever building an engine citing others work. No one should answer a single question of your Dan. But I’ll go over some basics. :poke:Get off the lot or take a ****! LMAO COULDNT HELP MYSELF I proving torque on any old engine starts with increased...

Nothing new about this thread. Reminds me of back in 1978 drinking a few beers with friends. After a few to many on of the guys who was looking at a RV Cam ( so he can have A/C and power brakes work in his cruiser ) to put in his junk yard low mile motor. And one of the guy's there says WOW the...

Hello All, My first post here despite having been a lurker for years. Kudos to everyone for the advice, knowledge, understanding you offer here. Your words of wisdom reach many more people (lurkers) than you are aware of, I'm sure. My question: My 68 Barracuda 318 904 8-3/4 needed a new...

I'd be interested in knowing how that Streetmaster works for you. I have one I want to build a mileage engine with

Those who recommended the 340 cam are leaving a lot of torque out, but it would idle decent and have a broad band. From personal experience with street trucks and tow rigs, a 110*LSA would put you in the torque band quicker and with a higher peak. In my '86 D250 tow rig, I used the 272H-10...

Yes.. but we aren't building a motor in 1971.... not one single person here would build a motor using all stock parts.. i'm not saying the outcome would be different just that all this talk about stock numbers and factory parts makes no sense..

A 318 can take a 2.02/1.60 valve set no problem. (Below, Everyone else who doesn’t know the following) The issue is valve shrouding which most people seem to make it a kiss of death issue and run to a smaller valve as a savior for this non issue dilemma, and then loose/leave power on the...

It seems that for somebody who wants to get a little extra zip from his 318 can open up a can of worms rather quickly.

Hold on, the '81 isn't a roller block. A '91 is. They didn't phase in the roller cams until '86 on the 318, and '88 on a 360. Dropping the roller cam lifter dog bones and spider hardware in a non-roller block doesn't work. The block we used in my buddy's Challenger was an early '90's 360...

Special? Ok, I know LA 318's had roller cams from '85-91. They also have the "debated" 302 heads (or same head, different casting).

AFAIK and remember seeing, they oil through the head. You can oil through the pushrod if you wanted to with the correct rocker. There’s a few on the market. Comp Cams has them in a 1.5, PRW has them in a 1.5 & 1.6. No, just where the port is. No issues on rocker geometry or pushrod length...

The Isky cam above is not over "over cam" for your engine with a 216 @ 0.050" duration. The definition of "over cammed" that I use is when someone put in a cam without thinking about the rest of the engine. The cam is the first thing you pick and that choice defines the personality and usage...

Thanks, I'm going to write this down so I don't forget.

I just broke in a Comp cam, zero issues. Follow proper procedures, you’ll be fine. Check that the lifters skin in there bores and move smoothly up and down in them.

LA 318's had roller cams from '85-91. Flat tappet LA 318's were still made '85-'89 though, not sure what got what. '90-'91 was rollers only. LA 360's had roller cams from '89-92 Info from this casting number list. mopar casting numbers I'd heard the 318 rollers started more like '86, and...

Go for it!!

the complete and running '85 318 that we pulled from the '80 D150. We have brand new Speedmaster heads still in the box. 273 adjustable rockers/shafts and push rods. We have brand new air gaps in the box, but will probably use a old used single plane for cheap. I have roller cams for cores...

Hi Mopar world I have a question that I hope to get some help with. I am currently running a 273 in my 67 Dart and looking for cam suggestions. I am running stock exhaust manifolds with 318 heads, air gap 2 intake and a 650 cfm edelbrock carb. Stock 904 trans and converter, looking for a cam...

I've been reading 318 threads; most recently the one about XE cams. 14 years ago I bought a 68 Charger that still had the original 2 barrel, 318 w/904. My initial intent was to put it back on the road and sell it. This was before I knew anything about forums, nor could I really interpret what...

I recently purchased a 1972 Dart Swinger with a 318, one of the previous owners seemed to be interested in performance, but I am more interested in a Cruiser/ Road Trip vehicle. The issues are that the car currently has long tube Hooker headers and an 8 Quart Milodon oil pan. Bothe of these are...

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment. But a few things don't line up with what the OP is saying so it turns into a controversy. 1. He's talking about rocker arms and the vast majority of us are saying it's the right part at the wrong time. 2. He talks about how he's a race team crew...

I'm really looking forward to getting the car and start enjoying it. I'm going to stay with the 318 as I'm sure that it will do what I'm looking for. Car is super clean and I don't want to vary from the way it is. I may go with a different set of wheels as it has those dog dish caps on it.

Thanks for the information. I'm hoping to get in contact with the owner of the 1972 duster that I'm interested in. Unfortunately the wife got sick and she's my main priority. I was thinking about either 3.23 or 3.55 gears, wouldn't those 3.91's make the 318 sign going down the highway? I'm going...
