    318 build check from you experts

    Did the same with 302 stock valve heads with a comp XE256H cam and 625 carb. Was in a truck with 3.55 gear. High idle vacuum, great off idle acceleration and surprising top end power. We beat the heck out of this towing, working and slide in old heavy camper, slightly ported stock heads did great.

    Don Cherry fired

    "You people love...you...that come here..." Basically "you people that come here" anyone that says "you people" gets some group offended. This kind of overreaction makes me not love my Country as much as I once did.

    Only runs 40 Degrees advanced

    Before disassembly I would set this up like it’s on an engine stand, get a points distributor and any carb and try and start, run it. I know you put in a stock distributor and wouldn’t spark when put in the block which is odd but I’ve got my trusty BBS and single point that will start anything...

    6-71 small block build.

    My Son will roots supercharge a smallblock Dodge eventually for his race car I'm building, goes back to those days when blown SBCs started beating any bigblock in Alcohol Dragster. We both love supercharged small V8s, just a different sound that's so cool. I joined the Supercharger Forums.com...

    My take on the oiling system crossover tube for the small block

    To yellow rose, have learned about 70 degree timed oiling from your previous posts and would like to see your diagrams or video, want to know about bearing saddle grooving/drilling or crank drilling to accomplish this. My son's engine will be over 7500 through traps.

    The Metric System

    Having any machine with both is a huge pain and the Manufacturer should be shot! I work on commercial restaurant equipment and some still come with both, make up your F'ing mind. I understand suppliers and cost are involved but why is it field technicians have to deal with this crap and carry a...

    Four link?

    With a leaf spring it would create bind. A floating mount with slider would be needed.

    Four link?

    Hey Don from Dorchester. I’ve got the leaf link in my unfinished car. Spoke to Herb Mc Candless and he said why, he would bend the front of the spring 90 degrees on launch. Well for nostalgia reasons and I’m not doing 800 hp clutch launches I’m still going to try it. Look up Bear’s Performance...

    Help getting flange off??!!

    Looks like you've lost the rubber on the larger diameter piece (seal), the smaller diameter piece is the pinion bearing.

    Help getting flange off??!!

    If your seal has a spring inside pack that groove with grease to hold it in place when you knock it place. I've done seals when they hit the seat and hit it a couple more times to be sure and had that spring pop out.

    How did you get into MoPars ?

    In 1972 I was 14 and started buying car magazines and liking Drag Racing, this is where I discovered S/A and SS/A most of B was ruled by Dodge and Plymouth. When I researched more I couldn't understand why the other three especially the big two with all there resources couldn't touch Chrysler, I...

    Enginetech bearings and rings

    Yes. We used them twice for 318 and 5.2, average stock stuff, nothing found bad. They shipped right pistons (.030”) with standard bore rings, quickly sent us .030” rings so we ended up with extra standard rings. Even the cam measured out good, I was a little surprised I didn’t find anything...

    351w

    My Dad always had big cars with big blocks, '66 Chrysler 383, '74 Buick Electra 455, '74 New Yorker 440, then bought a 1979 Lincoln Town Car 400. He was told it was a big block by the seller, when I told him it was a small block he was soooooooo pissed, never seen him that angry. I bought the...

    351w

    My son is a big Ford and Mustang guy, I back halved his '88 and advised him on his 351W build. What I learned is the oiling system is good oem heads not too good for big power. The aftermarket has any and everything, refurbishing old iron could be the same cost as new cylinder heads. Swapping...

    Snowmobiling blues...

    I think your being too hard on yourself, my licensed auto mechanic son welds often but not as well as I do, he'd say that himself. He says it might not be pretty but it won't break. None of his stuff has ever broken.

    Snowmobiling blues...

    I like it a lot. When we were in Cochrane a bunch of guys, plumbers or pipe fitters, had there work pick up with a heavy ladder rack, 8 ft platform on top of that for two, huge long ramp and one in the box, a double trailer with two on the bumper. Anything to get on that snow.

    Cam break-in Questions.... On an engine run stand

    Everyone I've done I put mufflers on, have someone to only look for leaks while you work the timing light and throttle screw, large fan blowing at the rad but keep a garden hose ready to cool side or lower rad tank, always gets hotter than I like. I now always put weak springs on flat tappet...

    Mechanical fuel pump install

    When you start to unbolt it and it feels like it's being pushed out on an angle turn the engine over by hand until it feels loose. This will put it on the low side of the eccentric and make installation of the new one much easier.

    Comp cams xe268h for 318

    I used an Ed Performer intake, the triple primary boosters on the Street Demon give it great idle and sharp breakaway response which I liked, the large secondary gives whats needed on top. I have found that 318 valve guide heights are not even from poor factory machining and anymore than .450"...

    Comp cams xe268h for 318

    I ran the XE 256 H in a 318 same as you have in a truck with 3.55 gears and small Street Demon . It had amazing low end grunt and surprising top end.

    Son wants to go into Automotive Tech

    With my three boys I told them you'll only be good at your job if you like it. They all went into the trades, none of them into any of my trades. I agree about the electrical/electronics in any trade as everything is going that way for more efficiency.
