this is in PRE 73 Drum cars, right? mine didn't change, and the LBJ is the same part number disc or drum, but it's a 1976 drum brake car.

what kind of driving do you like to do? run on the freeway and keep up with traffic? run hard from 0-60? get an idea of what you want your cruise speed RPM with a calculator like this: https://www.tremec.com/calculadora.php keep in mind, this will estimate cruise RPM probably 100-150RPM low...

this thread really went off the rails, it's kind of a shame.... anyway, my personal preference for a 90% street driver, I don't like high RPM's on the highway, I've been soothed too much since I started driving in '91 from my duster with it's 3.23's and factory A833OD, 5th ave's with 2.24...

More Information for SEALED POWER H814CP they're still .060 in the hole based on compression height

with that rear ratio and stall speed, I think an XE268 would be a little big. personally, I'd probably stick with something that has a duration more like and XE256 or XE262. I ran a hydraulic roller in my '85 block with magnum heads that had .320" lobe lift (.512 calculated valve lift with 1.6...

I thought so, but don't quote me on it.....this pic looks like both the mains and rods are narrower on the cast....Is this a cast or forged crank? looking on rockauto, conrod bearings for a cast crank look to be .72" wide, for a forged crank .988" wide

'75(?) up use the 5/8" "peanut" plugs without drool tubes, I'd use that head to reduce potential oil leak points. to use the 198 rods, you'll probably need a forged crank bottom end. also to use those rods, you need pistons with a compression height in the 1.6" range. 2.2L chrysler pistons...

honestly, if you want a 318, try find a running 318 magnum. clean up the heads with a little bowl porting & 5 angle vj, trim the guides a skoash, get hughes #1110 springs, thin head gasket, rering, get the roller cam reground by bullet cams using their HR259/316 or HR259/326 lobes on the...

same with me, got one of the ABS dash caps in the mid 90's, still looks good and warp free after almost 30 years

could be, although I would have expected the taller rear springs to lower the front slightly by shifting the CG of the car forward ever so slightly....

well, the original poster did mention getting 302 heads for it in the original post. if he is thinking upgrading heads, the best bang for the buck will be a set of OEM magnums, because you also get the added bonus of 7% more lift on the same cam due to the different rocker ratio. looks like...

back about 15 years ago, I picked up a magnum 318 with a spun main bearing for like $200. I took the original 318 that was in my '85 5th ave that had about 65k miles on it, reringed/bearinged it, had a 5angle VJ done on the magnum engine's heads, home bowl port and gasket matched them, used the...

the "cracked" ones are fine to run, they never leak water where they crack between the seats, might be able to get some for really cheap, and they flow better than a 360 head, but with a small chamber for compression. 1.6 ratio rockers also give you more lift/flow out of the cam. IIRC 20 years...

magnum heads, comp XE256 cam

get the stock roller reground by bullet cams Bullet Cams Master List use the HR258/320 on the intake and the HR261/316 or HR265/320 on the exhaust with mag heads, hughes 1110 springs, 600cfm carb and headers, and it will pull really nice, as hard as a stock 360 with the same induction/exhaust...

given when I got a quote from them, shipping was >25% the actual price of the springs, if they can deliver them there for less/free, I'd definitely go for it.

To just get the car back on the ground after the suspension rebuild/disc brake swap I found a set of 14" rallyes locally for $225 I picked up and repainted. not sure if I will get to the Vision 148's anytime soon, getting the stink eye from my wife on how much I've spent the last 6 months on...

weird thing is Rockauto lists these as 1" OD

looking for a 14" big bolt pattern wheel (4.5-5.5" wide) within about an hours drive from Holland, MI to avoid shipping charges. did a brake conversion and I need a wheel for my spare tire.

my duster had 50k original miles when I bought it, and it had overload/air shocks on it. both body side shock mounts were ripped out of the floorpan. the shock mounts weren't designed to carry body load on it constantly, only transient dampening loads.

probably doing mine tomorrow

that's what I was thinking....would kill response from like 1000hz up

anyone ever come up with a nice stealthy solution for rear speakers if you have a fold down rear seat beyond removable boxes like I use?

is there anything else that could be binding the suspension up?

IIRC mopar 4x4.5" center register is 2.81, wheels should be like 2.83. backspace could be anything if they're aftermarket, I think most OEM 7" rims are 4.25.

that said, a 4" stroke 318 (~390 CID .030 over) with a hydraulic roller with about .55" lift and [email protected] duration, magnum or edelbrock heads, headers, an RPM air gap and a 750cfm carb should be a really great, streetable 400+HP/400+lb ft torque motor.

honestly, if you're going to build a stroked 318, I'd start with an '85-91 block. they have factory roller cams, 302 heads. the roller cam is the biggie. you can get it reground, or get a roller cam and reuse the stock roller lifters at a much lower cost than the retrofit roller lifters...

they said they were going to see if they can color match it because there are components unavailable for the original formula. they were significantly more expensive than the others, though...$85 for a 12oz aerosol can....
