...on its 360. But, I scored a set of RPM heads from the Summit discount shelf. When I swap those heads on, the 596s will be available for a 318 build. My thought process is a set of -6 cc KB399s, the 596 heads, and pick a good torque biased cam suitable for the truck application. Or I could...

A friend of mine has a 318 short block .060 over, zero deck engine that we’re going to build. It’s going into my ‘67 Barracuda convertible, which will be running a 904 automatic and 3.91 gears with 28” tires. Couple of questions: 1. What’s a fair price for the short block? 2. What’s the best...

I have put on speedmaster 170 heads 65cc, cool gap manifold pertronix 3 distributor. Thumper can .514 lift its .040 over. Question is I have a 550 low end holly, or a 750 single pump with race bowls. I fell I relly need a 650. Any help would be great I will put up a small 6sec video to so you...

Just wanted to share the slow build of this 318. I know there are plenty of people and articles saying you can build this or that on a low budget, and we all love the idea of a cheap budget engine build. But the truth may be if you are buying a used engine that is not running, you going to find...

Hello everyone! Thank you to all the members who took the time to read and contribute to my previous thread regarding my dads 273 and the cam options. I just had a 2 hour conversation with my dad and it turns out that there was a critical missing piece to the story that had NEVER been revealed...

A little pricey. Engine Factory 318 Mopar Engine 350 Horsepower 400 Torque |

So I have an 82 dodge d150 that is my daily driver, I don't like the slant in it and where most guys say the more they drive their slants the more they love em, I'm in the opposite boat. I don't like the slant (in this application). It has good power for an almost stock slant and pulls good...

Hello, long time lurker - first time poster here. I'm looking for some small block stroker wisdom. I am building a track car out of a 72 cuda for 50% track days(twisties...not drag)/50% grocery getting/mopar events. I occasionally want to put the wife and kids in it so Im not planning on...

Video uploaded about 2 weeks ago, and how does 351 CI, 485 HP @ 6,000 RPM grab you? Skip ahead to 46:40 for the beginning of the details on the engine.

...it. My initial plan was just to rebuild it. But in January I acquired a 400/727 combo and now I’m kinda torn on what I should do. For the 318 build I was considering around 9.5 compression, edelbrock heads, flat top pistons and going for quench, not going ham on camshaft selection, etc...

4 barrel carb / intake from a 340 or 360. 302 heads with 360 valve's, comp valve job, bowl work, valve's back cut, mill the heads only enough to clean them up. Bore/Hone to clean up the bores, have block align bored and then have the block decked and squared so pistons are at zero deck height...

...system. My plan is to keep things as cheap as possible but I do want it to be a reliable fun car to drive. There's probably a million 318 Build threads here but I was just wondering from some of the experts here what might be an affordable plan. I was thinking about reusing the existing crank...

Because I'll post as we go, and it will be slow going, this thread will most likely be off the rails, but I'll try to update as we go so here it goes..... Not a specific budget but keeping it cost effective. Goal: Run 13.9's and get 20 mpg. No headers. 2.94 gears. stock torque...

Wonder if I should consider a crate engine?

Has anyone actually built & run a 318 just like a 273 HiPo motor? That is, a 318 short motor with a nice flat-top piston that will produce around 10:1 static compression with 273/318 '920' closed chamber head, and the following 273 Commando parts: * Cast iron single plane 4BBL intake manifold *...

Just getting some input. I've got a '77 M880 (W200 Power Wagon) with a 318, 727/NP203 (full time 4wd) and 4.10s on 33" tires. The engine is original, under 100k miles, but a bit of idle time after belonging to a narcotics task force. For now I'm doing some maintenance and running the engine...

Here’s my 318 build. Plan is to use most of what I have and as usual it’s a budget build. The goal is a good performing street ride in my 66 Coronet. It’s got 3:23’s , 904 with the A&A low first gear set. Shift kit, 5k governor with the higher shift point 1-2 shift spring. advertised 3k street...

Just in case people get the idea that I'm a 318 "hater" I wanted to share this stroker build that I've been working on. The idea with this engine in a mild, daily driver engine, with emphasis on torque. This engine will be going into a 1950 dodge 1/2 ton, which is a cool truck all ready. The...

Hi guys, so I've been building a little 318 Mopar engine recently and hopefully it'll go as good as it looks. Edelbrock were very good to me and supplied a whole bunch of parts for the build. The aim is to make around 400hp with this little unit. I made a series of youtube videos chronicling...

I've checked out cfm calculator's to see what the 318 would need for carburetor size and they showed around 500 cfm. The car is going to be a semi daily driver, I will be using a dual plane intake that has a maximum rpm range of 5,500. The cam will match the power band of the intake manifold...

I have a 1966 steel crank 318 I picked up because I needed the 360 heads it was wearing. Guy I got it from told me he thought it was “built pretty good.” He pulled it for a bigger motor in his B body. I have torn down my fair share of motors that we’re “running when pulled” and most must have...

Rebuilding the stock 318 in a D100 and using a bunch of leftover parts from my dart that got upgraded along the way. Wanted to get couple of opinions though on just what to do with it. The truck will be on the street 99% of the rest of its life. We are buttoning up the lowering job, new brakes...

Well as alot of you know from my crankshaft endplay thread we are having to rebuild the engine from my sons 1971 Plymouth valiant 2dr. It's got the original 318 in it, so he opted to get it rebuilt. The crankshaft was trashed from the thrust bearing failure, he pulled a good turnable crank from...

Hi everyone. After determining that my 69 Barracuda's 318 had more than enough wear to warrant a winter rebuild, I decided to start a new thread to get some advice on which parts to use. Coming from the Porsche world the selection is frankly pretty overwhelming...with old Porsches you have "the...
