Looking for a source for LA 318 standard bore file fit rings. For some reason I am having trouble finding them. These are for stock pistons. Thanks

I would love to talk to the UAW member that installed a round head bolt in a LA motor that went into a 73 Charger. The bolt has the hash tag markings, but is completely round, like turned on a lathe round. And there are no tool makes on the edges. My luck, at least it is just a core motor for...

I picked up a few small block parts off a friend of mine. In the parts there was two sets of "J" heads. One set looks untouched, the other set has been milled alot, they look like close chamber heads, there was so much taken off them. What is the easiest way to determine how much these heads...

I picked up some small block parts this weekend off a friend of mine. In the lot of parts was an un-used crankshaft, it has stock 360 mains, and rod size, and looks to have a 4" stroke, as measured with a cheap set of 6" calipers. The only makings is some stamped numbers: 7258 233 The crank was...

Picked up a decent roller 70 Challenger a few months ago. It is a factory 318 auto, 2.74 gear. Motor and trans long gone. I do not care about engine size matching vin number or trans matching fender tag. What I have to at least get this car moving is the following: A running 78 318 from one...

I was given a 340 by a friend of mine, but it is missing the main bearing caps. Can I take the main bearing caps off a 318, line bore the engine and be ok? I just don't want it to end up more of an issue than its worth, since I already have an extra 340 that is complete, and this block has rust...

Which is the intake valve stem seals and the exhaust stem seals? This is out of a fel-pro gasket set, stock 1978 318. I think the ones on the right are for the intake valves. Thanks

Hey guys, I am building an engine start stand. The first engine I need to start has an LD340 aluminum intake with no provision for an aftermarket mechanical temperature gauge, just the stock one. 1) Does anybody know how to wire the stock sender to a gauge that would read reliable? If so...

What tool is used to change valve stem seals on a box stock 318 without removing the heads? I have a regular valve spring compressor, and know which ones are use on a chevy, but what one is used on a shaft mounted mopar? I bought a stone stock 78 power wagon with low miles from the original...

Picked up a 72 340 cast crank engine. Just going thru it to make sure it is right. .010 crank .030 bore with KB 243 pistons. Ported 974 heads with stock valves. Without cc the heads it looks like about a 9.7 compression engine. LD340 manifold with a 700 holley DP I bought this cam for it...
