Search results for query: 318 build

'67 273 bare block. Wanted to build it for my '65 Barracuda and ended up getting a complete 318 instead. I don't have the room to keep it, so it's gonna be $0.

Thx guys ! I means a lot to me :) , its the first factory stock engine that i run....beside a slant 6 , never ran a stock mopar, the 318 2bbl moves the fury surprisingly well , im a sleeper build fanatic and i am always wondering these days how well 318 2bbl can be , i have my 400hp duster for...

oh yeah, that's sound financial advice. go spend 400~600 on a 360 short block that might (probably) needs $1000 worth of machine work and other parts at an unknown price, and you'd still need to do something to address the dismal compression of a 360. so now you're out the $ that it probably...

You can put regular 318 heads on it, just make sure the Springs are right for the cam if it's not stock. As for the stuck valve in the 360 heads if it didn't hit the Piston it should be okay but if it did it's bent. You'll want to clean that guide out and put a new valve in it and either touch...

I now own the magnum crate engine Holdener was using for testing. With the 212/218 cam and an rpm air gap it now makes 365.

I am hopefully about to be purchasing a 273 Commando engine that I plan on installing into a 65 Barracuda Formula S. I plan on doing a complete restoration on the Formula S, but I want to do some engine upgrades to the Commando engine such as Cam, Heads, Intake. I know alot of people are going...

I wasn't

I understand why you shared your experience and that could be very helpful to others.

As far as looking for a fun go fast ride, find a D100 or D150 SWB with a slant six O.D. or a 3.9 and a 5 speed and build a late 318 (or better yet a late hydraulic roller 360) and put a direct high four speed in it and go have some fun with it. You can still find some reasonably priced on...

What year, body,of magnum manifolds are you suggesting?

At toolman - The rant is in fun… but honest And what was my reply to that and the subsequent reply to when someone mentioned about the crack in the head? So now we’re on Rinse & Repeat? I like that idea. I did the same-ish, when my daughter wrecked her ‘00 Durango. Nabbed that 5.9 right fast.

In my experience nothing "performance" Is ever cheap. Its a never ending rabbit (money) hole. I started off similar to you was going to take an 80s 318 and clean it up regasket it add a small cam a 4 bbl intake headers etc. Well I pulled the heads to find that it needed to be overbored pulled...

It's got the small 273/318 port size, so it would be silly to run it on a 340 or 360. It's actually not too bad of a manifold for a 273, makes some good torque on the little motor and breaths well enough to feed a nice little motor- but it's gonna run out of steam real quick with even a healthy...

Thank you! I can't recall what my actual setup was. I took the car apart about 25 years ago. There were lots of changes previous owners had made. So who knows if what I took apart was original or not. I would have had a different carb line as my car was a 318 /2 barrel car. Now, the car has...

Good to know. Keep us posted on the build and we hope your back get's to feeling better.

Never had a 360 but I would build one yes. I have a spare set of J heads I need a bottom end for. I honestly like the heads. The larger ports and valves. I cant see grinding and working 318 heads to try and make them flow. Aftermarket heads are nice but still a sub 4 inch bore in a 318 . Etc...

Like has been mentioned before, teens need compression, improved intake/exhaust, and camshaft. Basic hot rodding really. Even 340's that were purposely built as a performance engine can benefit. The 72 and 73 340's can benefit from the list of 3 improvements as well. Almost all of the 318's and...

Do you have power brake,s,

I think Mopar wasn't paying attention to the OP post. He (the OP)has the Eddy 318 intake with the small 318 sized intake ports and the LA bolt pattern, Magnum heads are neither a simple bolt on for his build nor would they make 300hp on a 318 with the 340 cam. OP'd have to spend over $1,400 to...

I agree. A lot of times, these guys don't realize that one, a 318 may be all someone has and two, as hard as it may be to believe, a 318 just might be what they WANT. Like me bein a slant 6 guy. I have people all the time askin me "why did you build "THAT", it'll never be a V8?" ......and...
