    318 LA Rebuild Advice

    Wow! A lot of big time information here. The 4WD stuff is essential because I have property in the Sierra Nevada mountain range which can only be accessed through forestry service roads/old logging routes.

    Pretty much my only two choices as Junkyardhero has said. The TQ for my application had 6 or 7 vacuum ports and a bowl vent; the Holley 0-80555C fulfills that.

    I believe I found the Isky #390125/26? Only thing is that the application calls for a higher rear axle ratio 3.55-4.10. However, I'm getting a good specification range to look at. Is that an ex-forestry service truck?

    Intake and carb I currently have. Yes to replacing timing set, and springs. What is a good range for a slightly higher stall converter? Do you know what the stall is on a factory/stock converter? Thank you for the help.

    I am in the process of rebuilding a 318 LA from a 1982 Dodge W150 4x4. All appears to be completely stock except for the cam, intake and carb. This will be my first time ever going this deep into an old block, so I am asking this community for any pointers/advice/thumbs up on my part selection...
