I did it in my 74 Swinger. It really isn't that hard. I bought a conversion kit from Schumacher Racing for I think about 100.00. It comes complete with all the hardware and very explicit instructions on how to do it. I had never done it either and it only took about an hour to read how and...

Sweet. I will try and find one tomorrow. Thank you for the compliment. It is going into a Swinger for my wife to run at our local track. She wants the car Pink Camo so the engine compartment is pink also and the Burgundy ties it all in with Hot Pink wires. Should look pretty cool.

So there is nothing major to do to make it work then just get a passenger pick up and pan? I knew this was too good of a deal when I got it.

it came out of a pick up.

Hey everyone need some help here. I have a 74 Swinger that was an original slant car that I am wanting to install a 318 into. I purchased the conversion motor mounts from shumacher and installed them as directed. I am trying to test fit the motor and it will not sit right. It is still on the...

I have a question that I am trying to find the answer to and who better to ask then the Smart people of this site. Are all 318's internally balanced ?????

So 1.60's is what I have been told to use. Is that enough or should I go with the bigger ones? Will .10 or .125 really make that big enough difference for the expense? I guess I am asking is the bang worth the buck here for that change?

what is the stock ehaust size on 360 heads. beacuse i was told that i should have that done to my 302's.

there is also a number 4 cast on it too just like your number 5 and the J is the same in size and location. So from what everyone is saying, IF I understand it correctly, the casting number is definetly 302 so that is what I must have. I tape measured the intake valve, I know not very accurate...

so the J stamping means nothing then like it did in the early 70's versions is that what I am understanding? it is the 302 casting number that is the important then.

Ok everyone I am totally confused. Today we started cleaning things up and while my wife was cleaning the heads of her 318 she asked me what does this J by the last spark plug hole mean? I went over and looked and sure enough there is a J there. I thought that J castings stopped in the mid...

those numbers are the same for the 302's right ???? At least from what I saw.

My Dad did this swap in his 74 Duster and bought the Schumacher kit and he did it himself with NO issues at all. He swears by that kit. I will be getting the same kit when I do the swap for my Wife's 74 Swinger too.

Dustertogo.................. Thanks, I needed a good laugh this AM. I kinda figured that free was too good of a deal. Anchors aweigh.

Okay, I was just there and I don't see any difference in them except that the 302's are listed as fast burn. I know that there are differences in them as I can see them. And I also know that there is a difference in the swirl porting from what I have read here on the site or do they both have...

I will go and look and see if I can figure it out. Greendart, I love your car. can you send me some more pictures of it? Send me some details if you would please.

I had the very same question on the set that I got for my 383. I was worried about the whole hammer issue too but I called them and asked them about it. They said that it was prescored and would not take much effort at all to get the hole cleared. so I took a big punch and reluctantly tapped...

Hey I stumbled onto a set of heads for a very good price, FREE. I am trying to figure out if they were worth the effort to go and get them and use them on my 318 for my wife's dart or to use them for boat anchors. The last 3 in the casting number is 973. Keep in mind that I have the stock set...

the lowest I had was 105 and that was on just one of the holes. it seems to run ok and it is for a driver and an occassional trip down the 1/4. It has headers, performer dual plane manifold, 600 Edlebrock carb.

So I have a question that maybe someone can verify for me. I have a 66 383 that has head castings of 2406518 I recently head that this was the worst head that Mopar ever made that I should think of upgrading to a 2780915. Has anyone else heard of such a thing. I have new springs, valve seals...

those were the answers that I was looking for. nuff on that subject. Thank you

I have done a little bit of looking and and have not been able to find anything available for SBs does anyone knwo if there are gear drive timing sets available for a 318 ? what benefit will I have, IF I can actually find one, over the standard gear/chain set up?

So I was reading another thread and heard that the MP cams are not what they used to be and to look other places. Is that correct as I am still trying to figure out what cam to use in my 318 also. Since I have found out that it has a stock roller in it now I am really confused as to what is...

there is no break in ??? Wow. so if you were going to suggest a roller cam what would it be? I plan on having a 2500 stall and doing the 302 heads with 360 exhaust valves and a good clean up job on the ports like everyone suggested. Basically leaving the lower end stock for now until she gets...

Okay so here is a question, I just found out that my 87 318 has a roller cam in it. Do I need to change the roller lifters, and push rods if I get a new roller cam? Or can I use the same ones?

Wait a minute, I have been reading and trying to learn as much as I can about this 318 build and ask questions when I see it is relevent to my situation and now is one of the those times, see 318 horsepower thread for my situation if interested. I was lead to believe that a stock 318 only had...

and by CCing them you mean putting the piston all the way up and measuring the distance of the space between the flat edge of the block and the top of the piston correct? or am I still not understanding what I need to do here?

Since I was the one that originally started this thread I figure that since I have been quiet reading the masses and learning a whole lot I should ask a similar question as I still cannot find anything in writting any where to answer that same question about mine. My 318 is a 1987 and came with...

My bad............. I jsut got to the block to clean up the number and it is actually 4387530-31828 but I still do not see it in my MP book for casting numbers.
