Put the 383 in your truck, it sounds like thats what you want. I am kind of in the same boat you are in, I have a 76 Powerwagon with a 318. I have a 360 magnum and a 413 in my garage and not sure what one I am going to use. Good luck.

Crank has to be out.

Got the intake and the carb on, I like it, more throttle response, just seams to run better. Its not a race truck but it is faster.

Well, tonight is the night I am putting the intake and 4 barrel carb on, I hope it works out good.

How about some pictures of yours? I need to know what I will need for my tranny linkage and my throttle cable.

I am in Waterloo Il.

Well? How do you like the intake? I have the same one and I am going to put it on my truck soon. I got a carter AFB 600 four barrel also.

I have the same intake in my garage just waiting to be put on, let me know how it works.

I have a 71 413 in my garage that I took apart, it looks great inside. I plan on putting 906 heads different cam and some factory flat top pistons from a older 413. I have to get a w200 to put it in too.

I wasn't saying that Canadian pistons are bad, just that its not stock.

The 70 pistons are made In Canada, the 77 are Dodge factory pistons. It also looks like one of the 70 pistons has .030 on the top of it.

Pistons look the same height too me, not sure what to do.

I don't know what happened on #4 main bearing, when I bought the motor it had new bearing in the motor. Crank does not look bad.

I am going to put new cam bearings in, would like to do it myself.

Still the 77.

This is the 77, I think it got hot.

I am going to measure the pistons and use the tallest set, both sets are in good shape.

Pistons all came out just fine on both blocks, didn't break one ring. Not much of a ring at all on both blocks.

Great info guys, keep it coming and thanks.

Just looking for better than stock power and good mpgs, nothing extreme.

Here are the pistons. Top one is from the 1970, those are not stock are they? The other is from the 1977.

I have a set of 302s I was going to use, what do you think?

Do you know what the 77 compression would be?

If I use the 77 block I would use the stock pistons, one of the mains looks like it got hot at one time. I will get some pictures up soon.

The rod and mains are already .10 over, One of the rods was spun, the 70 crank looks bad. Is it wise to go .20 over?

I have a 1970 and a 1977 318, I am going to rebuild one of them and put in my 76 W100. Witch one should I rebuild? The 70 is a higher compression motor than the 77? Right? The 70 crank is not in good shape, the 77 is in good shape, will the 77 crank work in the 70 motor? The 77 has factory...

When I put a double row timing chain on my 76 W100 I had a ticking noise. It was the fuel pump arm hitting the chain, just a little. I bent the fuel pump arm in with a C clamp just a little where it was hitting and no more noise.

Good idea, I just replaced my chain with a double roller chain. I did not soak it in oil and when I started my truck, the chain was ticking for a couple of minutes. I did not like the way that sounded, it went away slowly. I will soak my chain next time.
