AVOID THE 4.7L!!!!!!!!!!! I have had nothing but issues with them!!!!! My wife has a grand cherokee with the 4.7l. we got it with 90,000 miles (now has about 135,000 miles. Don't get me wrong, it runs great and has tons of get up an go. (alot of the stuff I have had to replace is more...

You mentioned the only numbers you could find on the block were F6P5816....A typical engine (atleast in US) would have identification embossed right into the casting on the side of the block. Not sure about yours though...unfamiliar territory to me being that its industrial aswell as not from...

did a quick google search on a marine 318 engine and came up with this (which I am assuming is what you are describing) and from the pictures I am seeing of them....they were painted the "ford blue" you speak of. sounds like you have a marine 318 to me.

Heres a picture of my engine I took right before i painted the duster And here is a quick video i took of the duster when I installed my exhaust tips. New exhaust tips on my 72 Plymouth duster MOPAR - YouTube

Did somebody say hemi orange? ......heres a few picture of the engine I built for my duster a couple of years ago if it helps you any with your decision making. during putting it together The intake after I spiffed it up On the stand just after i built it After dunking it in...

if you end up deciding the carb is the issue I have a new edelbrock 1406 carb for sale that I just posted for sale on here. works perfect,comes with box,warranty papers,all manuals,all extra parts,stickers,dvd to teach you how to set the carb up and tune it in (if you dont already know). If your...

Agreed, that paint will get sucked right to the bottom of the pickup which means no oil flow to the engine. can plug oil galleys to bearings,can plug up lifters.can get in between bearings and bearing surfaces and make a super heated goo that wipes out the engine...all sorts of stuff can happen...

as others have mentioned it could be a timing issue.....but to step outside the box I will mention a couple other things. normally when I have had this happen (on any engine for that matter) its a problem with current in the system back feeding. more often than not I find it to be faulty wiring...

Bummer! This is why normally when I find similar problems, I shut the engine down and don't run it until I run through the paces with diagnosing and have a good idea of whats going on. That way IF there is a problem, I can possibly fix it before causing more damages and costing more $$$ Which...

Hard to tell for sure by your video becuase I cant make out anything other than exhaust sound. like already mentioned, white smoke is normally coolant...( but it COULD be raw gas not burning off) (which also would contribute to the gas smelling oil. what size carb? do you have to poundage set...

I built a 388 lt1 stroker for a firebird I had a few years back and bought all new bearings for it......put it all together and it ended up having a mean knock to it. turned out that the cam that was in it had progressively been machined. (standard,next journal was .010 under, next was .020...

Also, is the oil pressure any different when the engine is cold...versus at operating temp? and is there and change when raising the rpms?

have you pulled a VC to see if your getting any oil up top? are you sure your gauge is functioning properly? do you have and electric oil gauge or a mechanical? if its mechanical,do you have the style with the semi clear plastic oil line? if so can you see oil flowing through it? did you by...

even the best of us can be a little slow at times lol...don't sweat it. hope you get figured out what you have planned for the 318 swap.

and the matching "flex plate" which like mentioned is where the confusion came into play lol ....not flywheel like a stick would use.

no...the auto's are all one single casted housing...no removable bell housing. you will need an entire transmission from a v8 car.

If your talking auto ( I don't think you are though) then it wont work....you would need a small block 904/727. however though, I don't see why with a stick car you couldnt pick up a v8 bellhousing and flywheel and what not and be just fine. the slant 6 tranny might have a lower set of gear...

lots of other stuff to think about. any work done to the heads? headers? whats it got for a cam? lifters? rockers? valves? and so on... whats your ultimate goal? to build a peppy 318 and keep it or to make the 318 a little quicker to tide you over until you can snag a different engine? I...

like has been said....$1,000.00 really won't get you very far when it comes to buying and engine....let alone building one and even more so if you plan on having machine work done. just pep up the 318 and drive it while you save your pennys until you can afford to stick another engine on a...

first I would inspect the lines for dry rot...and as was mentioned the old lines form fit to the stretched size of the nipple after being there for so long...so it wouldnt be a bad idea to cut off about a half inch from the ends of the lines where they connect to the ports ....that will get you...

Come to think of it....( not sure if I am just making myself think this or if this is what actually happened.....been a couple years ago since I built it now ) when I put my dusters engine in ... ( I had ran it to tdc,cam dot at 6 o'clock and crank dot at 12 o'clock) I think I recall that I...

I always bring number one piston up to tdc,with crank dot at 12 o'clock and cam dot at 6 o'clock (dot to dot) then drop the dizzy in on time and im ready to rip.

the fittings feel very solid...no plastic, all metal. so fingers crossed that they work nice.

I bought the knock off lokar set up off ebay. looks like great quality and at a fraction of the price. yet to install it on my duster yet but i will get to it eventually. came with bracketry too, just cant see in pictures.

I have used them and I have also used just RTV and so far have had good luck with both. however....even when I do use cork end gaskets I still smear them down with silicone for better adhesion. but I don't think you will have a problem with just rtv. ( I also put a thin smear of rtv around my...

I would do plugs anyhow.....there is such thing as "new junk" too lol......and depending on if you drive alot in hot summer days or if you have headers or manifolds or drove it hot before or whatever.....you COULD have cracked a plug (seen it happen before) also seen cheap plugs burn the...

haha

also, I do not suggest using a tow strap or anything unless it is a seriously serious strap lol.....you don't want to risk your engine or your safety by using improper tools. also, do not try using a come along hoist as they are meant to pull....not lift. ....I have done it before in a pinch...

I always take and put an exhaust bolt through a large chain and thread the bolt into one of the exhaust holes on the front of one side of the engine....and then I do the same thing on the opposite side but to the rear of the engine your going to also want to use washers so your bolt head will...

P.S. you may want to put the trans in neutral and either with the starter (if it is hooked up already) or manually crank the engine over and make sure everything is spinning freely......better to double check now and make sure everything is good than it is to completely assemble the engine and...
