It happened on my 8 3/4 open rear years ago...the way you describe the noise sounds similar but my noise was very loud resonated through the driveshaft to the 4 speed shifter, I thought it was in the trans at first but I turned my head and the angle of my ear indicated it was coming from behind...

My Year one story goes way back,maybe to the late 90s. I ordered something there and waited and waited and waited...finally called them they said "its on back order". Ok couldnt you have called or something. I ended up waiting till it showed up I don't remember how long but i seem to recall 6...

I believe we will always need machine shops and flow bench head port guys ...guys with dynos to actually measure the gains...just for the guys who are serious about going fast and being competitive.

That differential center pin retaining bolt broke and the pin slid out...?

Personally and in my experience I cant see seeking out 318 parts (302 heads) the natural progression that I went through as a young man is play around with the 318, cam, headers carb exhaust, ran good but want better ... seek out and find a 340-360 ...that is the natural way of things not...

Ill just say the 70s 318 is cheap or free for a reason...:)

I agree deals to be had if you know what you are looking for but in my experience I've had to cough up the funds if its something I specifically want sometimes it can't be avoided. Always looking for deals should be the norm though I think... also knowing the value of things etc. I wouldn't say...

I think "cheap" has to be defined here no? If we are talking effective use of funds put a 360 in it you'd need the heads anyway... :thumbsup:

Most guys "on the cheap" aren't really going that fast are they? Low budget guys always hit a wall at some point. I've been in the arguments with 318 guys it sometimes ends up at "well the 318 is better on gas..." at that point the conversation is over because we are no longer talking...

Nobody cares as long as you don't cite "how much ya got in it" at resale time... :thumbsup: its like Harleys the cheap chinese add ons aren't worth anything at resale...:) now vintage MP race heads that still work ? different story...

I sold my last 318 last year for $300 it was overhauled and ran good solid compression 125 psi across all cylinders. I sold it to a family member and just wanted the price of the internals at the time I purchased them years before...point is a runnimg 318 should be had for sub $500 IMO

In my experience they don't like something you post so they pounce on you every time they see you post something . Some of us just go out in the garage instead of hanging on here arguing...the ones that don't have a car are just here to stir up mud...same as on any forum there's guys on Harley...

Yup anything has foreign parts in it PC boards, the main brain that makes it work etc. I sometimes wonder if i should repair my Maytag that is 20 years old or get new...the thing sgshakes so bad its getting on my nerves but...I attest that the new shock absorbers and parts that I might order are...

It is a clique on here and there are other places to get parts...I can see how people would leave. There is alot of one sided nonsense arguments on her about stupid stuff. Once all the good people leave the clique will argue internally and force each other out that's how narrow mindedness and a...

Straight swap is easier than a build if you are in a hurry. Also if you want to build the original engine do it while you are driving the car with the swapped engine in it so you aren't in a hurry if its your first build...that way you enjoy the car while figuring out what you want to do with...

Absolutely... :thumbsup:

as long as all this doesn't drive up the prices of X and J heads I'm good...:0

I once helped a friend install a 383 with 727 in a 69 dart. Fender well headers and engine plate. It was an experience. Had to set the rear up also get pinion angle and weld the perches.

Yeah I'm good my mistake is and has always been getting involved in discussions here. Ill just stick with the classifieds LOL!

Well rename it the 318 slant 6 forum then:)

I haven't seen a decent 340-360 thread on here that wasn't hijacked by 318 guys in a long time. But the thing is the 340-360 side of the argument is truly valid.

My cousin had a 65 with the poly 318 and I had a 69 with the LA 318. I like the 69 but I remember the 65 was pretty nice at the time...

A 318 will swap in yes and I've ran one in my Dart long ago, but I've since unloaded all my teens. I used to get them cheap or free so hanging on to them was sort of foolish. Like collecting scrap. I deleted my post I figured I didnt want to upset the folks here and get banned its a mob...

I like the wife's Turkey gravy at thanksgiving...all I know is she uses the drippings from the bird etc.

I don't have a Barracuda but I used Re pops on my Dart and had no issues. Id call re pops again see what they say. Unless its specific to Barracuda they should have worked IMO.

A hammer, chisel and a little bit of touch up paint... :poke: :lol:

That's actually pretty neat illustrates it well

Well the place has basically gone 318 /slant 6 who wants to yack about those engines ...? :poke: :poke::lol:

Moving like a swivel is normal but moving in and out in a hammering like motion is worn out, as in the socket is egged and there is play between ball and socket.

Welp people in Merika want 35 dollars an hour plus the boss needs their cut plus US taxes plus shipping of the raw materials maintenance of equipment and the electric bill etc. etc. etc. a basic business course should be given in High school I believe...people I know used to always want me to...
