i would absolutley want to see inside the engine, intake and oil pan at least. imho that is a lot of money for a mystery motor.

i would buy them for 150.

do you have the plug wire arcing issue? my old ram had a arcing plug wire issue before i owned it. there was the coil mounted with a special plug wire that ran up to the front of the engine? i dont remember exactly what was different than stock but i do remember the p.o. telling me about the...

i would bolt the mounts to the engine and let them drop into their holes.

i just used your link, then scroll down. 3rd option

look for their other ads i found them for $390 a pair shipped.

great deal, i wonder about casting quality?

yes, return it and tell the seller his product is cheap ****.

too much!

any 318 after 85 will have the boss' for roller cam spider plate. some car motors got rollers as early as 85 but more common after 88. factory roller motors were painted black and non roller painted blue. when i got my 85 van i thought it had a roller motor but the rebuilder painted it black...

you need to look down by the pan rail, the pictures do not show the vin pad. or as stated its a warranty block.i think if they stamped the trans they would have stamped the block as well.

that is on mid 70's and later small blocks

those are std 340 springs, i think someone just changed the rockers over. very common, the std hyd rockers are not very uniform and with adjusters you can get much more precise. but the engine looks to have been rebuilt? so could have a mechanical cam.if you look at the front of the motor where...

start the engine with the valve covers off, hydraulic lifters will spin as well as the pushrods. mechanical lifters do not spin.

the pictures seem to be of different engines as one is orange and the other looks red? the stamped numbers are often not in a straight line but i have never seen a 318 stamp on a 360 block

as suggested before, inspect torque converter for weights. then inspect driveshaft, also what fan setup do you have?

torque converter? stock engine specs? what b&m flex plate is it? if i were you i would dig and get part numbers off balancer, flex plate, and torque converter. i once bought a valiant with a 360 in it but they used a 318 trans and it took me a minute to figure out the issue but it was simple...

if its shifting way too early i would be looking into fixing the kickdown asap before the tranny is toast.

old school trick is to put wooden clothes pins on the fuel line as close to the tank as possible. use a few of them, see if it works. the old timers used to swear by this method but i have not seen anyone try it in this milenia. lol

this time put the timing cover on before the oil pan. I believe this is where you went wrong, no offense.

could be a number of issues. wrong torque convertor, wrong balance on drive shaft, wrong balancer, wrong crank, wrong flex plate. I once bought a valiant with a 360motor and 318 trans. took my a while o figure out what was out of whack, but in the long run it was a cheap fix by buying a balance...

i would imagine the aluminum is brittle after years of use and heat cycles. i would not try the hammer technique.

yeah i am over all of that. I was hoping i could make the throttle body run with the sensors the current carb has. looks like electronic ignition and 4bbl swap are in my future.

i kinda had a feeling it would be too much of a hassle. i saw a complete truck at the junk yard recently and the gears were turning. my motor is bone stock, and i have no smog laws here.

correct, I am looking to put TBI on. not efi sorry.

i have a 86 dodge van, it has a 318 w/ the factory 2bbl carb that is computer controlled. I would like to use the efi throttle body, that came into use in 88. i can see the ecm is different in 88 from the one on my van. does anybody know if i can wire the throttle body to work with my ecm?

from i have found roller motors were painted black from factory, flat tappet motors were painted blue.

the link bad sport posted is what i use

I realize that, I am just trying to get the parts i need together before i tear into it. This is my daily driver so it has to happen over a weekend or I am screwed.

that is for 360, i have a 318. thanx anyway
