Ok, ran some water tests. Not from the plenum area for sure. Wiper arms rebuilt with new seals, so I guess that leaves the windshield seal corners. The windshield seal was replaced when I did the paint work, and no rust anywhere in the corners. I guess that leaves the seal install itself -...

I have water leaking in from both sides near the kick panels - most likely coming from the cowl plenum on my 74 Duster. Did I miss something when I had the front end off the car during restoration? Plenum drain tubes??? Thanks, John

Nice plan Rob. Trick Flow is probably the way to go with a stroker kit and when you figure in head machining costs. Pic = my low cost ring squaring tool for under 4" bores ( reads 318).

Thanks Rob. Ya, The 96 318 Motor I bought had cracked heads ( 7 out of 8 chambers - between the seats ). Since I did some pocket port work on them anyway, I just had some fresh seats put in them. Will keep your post in mind for future head purchases though. I'm up to speed on 727 rebuilds, but...

Thanks for the feed back all!! All good info I can use in my search. Just finished a 96 Dakota (318 & 46RE) in to a 74 Duster. Package came with no electronics, so I went "old school" with a 727. I want to "step up" with my next project ( Magnum, TPI, computer, OBD2. A whole truck purchase (...

My post didn't generate much feed back? Maybe if I simplify it and just say; Looking for a Dodge / Chrysler in my local bone yard with a 318 / 360 Magnum engine and drivetrain to swap in to my next project car. What years would I be looking for? Any years better than others? - avoiding the...

Drive it over here Bob and I'll buy you dinner!

My next project will probably include one of the above engines along with a 46RH /RE trans or? (something with over drive ) and fuel injection. Want to hit a few bone yards in my area looking for the above combo along with the factory computer and associated wiring. My question is; what years...

I believe the 4th gear is overdrive.

Sorry - Payson, Az. About 85 miles north of Phoenix. Will deliver to Phoenix area.

The compressor fits any small block. I bought it as a remanufactured unit and ran R134A in it. Worked great. You just have to make sure you run the correct oil - going from R12 to R134A. In my case, I had to dump the oil in the crankcase ( measure how much you take out ) and refill with pag oil...

Fresh rebuild. Press on pulley. Fits many Mopars. $50. John. Payson, Az

Doesn't look right to me Paul. Think the one I have ( pics ) fits a /6 motor.

Paul, pics are the idler pulley set up I have. I will throw it in for free if you are interested.

I will look tomorrow Paul and get back to you. I might have one for a slant 6, but not sure on a small block.

From a 2WD 96 Dodge Dakota. Rebuilt in Sept. of 2015 with low miles since rebuild. New convertor. I got this trans with the engine ( 318 ) and can not verify the above as I have never run this trans, but seller is reliable - IMO. $150.

I know where to go for hardware.

Yep, how I fixed mine also.

Yes, very good numbers for that combo - and I am sure a fun streeter to drive. Pic is checking installed spring height on Magnum heads going on my 318 in my 74 Duster. Seals installed, and clearance to bottom of retainers was checked next with "light" checking springs, both on intake and...

Just never heard of .520 as being the accepted max lift before having to cut down the guide bosses? Could be. Variables I was referring to are spring retainers used, keepers used, suggested ( by the cam Mfg.) spring installed height, new guide installation height. At any rate, I didn't have a...

LOL!! I'll be firin up 75 in a few months, but Mare and I are doing pretty good. We love it out here. It's a dry heat ya know. :realcrazy: A few pics of Mary's garage - and her rides.

Hey Bob, ya, I miss our winter pizza racer get-togethers too. We miss "Da House in Da Woods" too. Little different life out here, but still having fun cranking a wrench with my favorite wife.:thumbsup:
