Hi All, I lurk, read/ research on this website a lot, and have learned a ton over the years by reading through various forums. Many of the "what is the best lifter or best cam" discussions lead me to the question below. My current setup. (Please keep in mind this was put together long before...

I have fixed a lot of tuning mistakes lately (learning from assuming things will work out of the box). Biggest change being that I had way too much mechanical timing (recently fixed by re curving the distributor) I also removed a MSD 6al after noticing a lot of timing walk at mid to high RPM...

I have had two bots fail in as many years. The first failure I blamed on re using a 40+ year old bolt that was not in the greatest condition to begin with. This said, its held in there for nearly 10 years. This second bolt (new) has only been in for a year. Both bolts broke right at the...

I have oil leaking from my head bolts. At the moment it is only fromthe pasenger side of the engine. I thouht it may have been the valve covers but have elimintated them and the valley to intake areas. Its hard to see in the pictures but the paint has actually bubbled up from around the...

OK lets start at the end and work back to the beginning. I currently Have 2 lifters that I cant get to pump up. Not to long ago I did some up grades that involved a new cam and shaved heads. I know a made a rookie mistake and did not get shorter push rods to account for the shaved heads...

I saw a thread a while back regarding this subject and now I cant find it. Is there any harm in running oil through pushrods on an LA engine with factory style lifters and rockers? If I remember right the consensus was that there would be no issue in doing this. The only reason I ask is I...

Ok, I know this may be a long shot to identify these springs. I was told buy the guy (local old mopar "guru") that built these heads that these are factory 340 springs. I am installing stainless steel roller rockers and am having issues with the spring just barley hitting the rocker. I also...

So I am finally done wiring my car after the choke wire shorted out an basically burnt up the engine harness. When this happened it caused my engine to back fire pretty hard. I know have a slight popping noise coming from what i thought was the carb. When I put my head over the carb the noise...

I have a bad lifter and am getting ready to swap out the heads at the same I am installing the lifters. I was also looking at installing a new cam. The question is if i can do a cam swap with the engine in the car due to the fact I'm Little limited on space at the moment in the garage. Also...

I read on allpar.com that in 78 the 318 used 360 heads and cam. im assuming they did this to offset the power loss with all the emissions stuff. I rebuilt one of these engines which i was planing on selling. Well i bought a car and now is currently in my 74 duster. When i built this i had no...

I just started my basically stock 318 yesterday that i rebuilt almost 2 years ago (it took me a while to find a car to stick it in to). this morning i went out and decided to look at the oil on the dip stick just to see how the oil looked, and it had a strong smell of gas. I drained the oil and...

This was posted on allpar.com i was wondering if it is true (1978 - 318 gets 360 heads, cam, intake, and carb; the E48 is born. The 318 gets a lighter carburetor with “solid fuel metering” and the 360 gets additional throttle return springs. Second Generation Lean Burn debuts on both...

ok so just how much of a dog is a 318? my buddy had one in a 74 satelite , that damn thing could hold its own till he tried to rebuild it without any help. Im putting one in a 74 duster, all that is changed is the bore (20 over) and an edelbrock performer with a 600 holley. i know gears and...

Id it possible to make a 408 out of a 95 360 magnum. Im worried about it throwing the fuel injection off.

im pulling a slant six out of my 74 duster. i want to keep it for a future project but have no room. How much are these things worth? It has 230,000 miles on it and still runs like a champ. But im sure it could use a rebuild

this has got to be the stupidest question ever. i m having a hard time finding a dip stick for a 78 318. i have one i got from a local speed shop, but after putting 5 quarts of oil in it nothing is shown on the stick. whear can i get the right one :silent:
