Hell, that's like everything at my house. Parts, tools, jigs, books, instructions, paperwork, titles, you name it. Guarantee as soon as you buy a replacement, or don't need it anymore, it will turn up along with another one you forgot you even had.

A 250 dollar running 413? If it's out of a 62-65 car, runs good, has good compression, and possibly 915 closed chamber heads, picking the 413 would be a no brainer for me, because the cost of everything you would need to upgrade for a 360 (including chassis mods like big torsion bars) is going...

Sure been a lot of this going around lately, nobody seems to care or or is honest anymore. Saturday my daughter took her Mustang to a shop in the O C (Cali) to get the exhaust leak fixed. She has already had a shop look at the problem (ball connection between the Y pipe and the catalytic...

I got into this when I rebuilt the 727 behind my 340. I vaguely remember the stock 10" converter for a 340 is around a 2400 stall. Bigger port heads off the 360 generally will loose bottom end torque on a 318 (possibly a bunch), but gain power at higher RPM if the car has the gearing to allow...

I don't know your mechanical proficiency so please don't be offended, but here goes; Cam brand and/or fancy model name/number in a buddie's car don't mean squat, and without documentation to back it up, neither does the previous owner's recollections of what he did, back when. If you really...

Just picking up a motor/transmission won't cut it unless you've got a complete parts car to swap out all the mechanicals necessary for a V8 and a place to do it. Mindful of your statement of the part time job, you are far better off trading off your car for a small block based one, or just...

A500 overdrive (derived from the 904 based automatics) had a lockup converter from it's inception in 1988, however the A518 overdrive (727 based) did not receive a lockup converter until 1992.

Hey, I'm not trying to steal this thread, but being as I have almost the same question, maybe you guys could answer it here. Although I sold the car some years back, I still have the 318 out of my 67 Coronet. It's my understanding the 67 318 had a steel crank. I'm planning on freshening up my...

Fast quarter mile ETs from modified ones or not, I can think of a lot better places to stick a Cummins, namely in a pickup to pull my car trailer. I dare say even the most efficient of them would be hard pressed to get 31.4 miles per gallon on the highway at 288,000 miles like the slant in my...

Rock Auto online listing shows two different Anchor numbers for 340 engine spool mounts. 2326 for the drivers side (left), 2325 for the passenger (right). Photos show a different mount for each listing, correct or not is anyone's guess.

Bigger ports on X, J, or better yet 308s on a mild cammed 318 will tend to be lazy on throttle response, especially running street gears. I'd slap a set of freshened up 302 heads on that fresh 318 short block to get a torquey street runner AND decent mileage. That said, if you're willing to...

Any parts house should have straight ones. After you've checked the lateral runout you may find you need the offset ones to get it dialed in. It's a common problem, even with a stock bell housing, and virtually a given with an aftermarket bell. Couldn't find them in a quick search of their...

Not to highjack this thread, but I want to pull my running when parked cast crank 340 down and at least freshen the bearings before I put it in the Duster. I picked up an aftermarket steel flywheel for it and have the diagram for drilling it from the DC chassis book. How different, if any, is...

If you're new to A bodies instead of trying to modify what you've got, you'll probably be money ahead trying to find the right combination of stock parts. The deals are still out there if you look. I found my last stock 73 spool mount type K frame on Craigs List for 50 bucks with the lower...

Sounds like the extra six or seven hundred pounds of the Duster over it's mid 60's predecessor is what's doing you in, so the 45 extra cubic inches of a 318 sounds like a good answer if you're not willing to run a loose converter or change to stiffer gears. Rods, not the crank are...

I ran a non EGR E-brock Performer for years on a bone stock '67 318 automatic in a Coronet 2dr post with various Carter and Holley carburetors. Ran good, vast improvement over the stock two barrel, and not really a wits difference in performance in any of the carburetors once they were dialed in.

I have a friend that likes the heart shaped chambers in those 302 heads so much, he's going to mimic them on his slant six head by welding up the chambers and machining them in. But if you have enough old K car turbos laying around you plan on putting on that motor to justify running a super...
