Molnar and Scat start out at 3.58 stroke and I have no desire to build a "stroked" 318. Eagle has one, but after reading about problems people have with Eagle cranks I'm not sure I want to go that route. I know a 318 probably doesn't "need" a forged crank but I'm going to hit it with 150 or 200...

I got my cam today, Comp 20-629-5. According to the specs, intake valve closes at 45 ABDC. Heads are TF 190 with 60cc chambers, pistons are flat top with 5cc for the valve reliefs and block is .030 over and machined for zero deck height. When I run the numbers through a dynamic compression...

Looking at a solid FT cam for an A body. Heads would be TF 190's, 10-10.5:1 compression ratio, 4.30 (or so) rear end, 3500 (or so) stall speed converter. Primarily street driven, needs to run on 91 pump gas but I want it to be quick. Looking at this one b/c all of their street cams have a wider...

I'm wondering if this cam would work OK with my other pieces: 64 Valiant, 904 trans (stock ratios), 3.55 rear end 360 block, flat top pistons at zero deck, 596 casting heads (just a little bowl cleanup, no porting) Intake will probably be RPM Air Gap, and open to carb recommendations. Assuming...

Having a hard time understanding why they offer both 63cc and 65cc chamber versions of their head. If the difference was bigger I could understand, but only 2cc difference - that could be easily taking care of by head gasket thickness (like go from .030 to .040 or vice-versa). Are the chamber...

I'm not talking internal balance like with a 273 - 340, the engine would still be externally balanced but with a different flex plate that would allow it to be run with a regular (unweighted) torque converter.Anyone ever heard of this? The shop doing my 360 says it works good. He showed me the...

How well do they perform? I'm having a hard time finding LA blocks so it looks like I'm going with a Magnum block if I want to build a 360. Only other 2 choices seem to be the stock heads (crack prone) or the new cast-in-China EQ heads (poor flow compared to the original Australian EQ heads)...

I'm building a 318 that will be running a hydraulic roller cam (most likely a Comp Cams Xtreme Energy 224/230). So a couple of questions: 1. Do I have to run the Comp Cams matching lifters, or will other brands of hydraulic rollers (Howard's, Hughes, etc.) be OK? My idea (if it will work) is to...

Looking for carb recommendation for a dual quad 318. Intake is the Offy hi-rise, cam will be a Howard's hydraulic roller (Lift: .525 / .530, Duration @ .050: 227 / 235, LSA 109), shooting for 10.5-11 static compression ratio with Speedmaster "as cast" heads. Going into a 66 Barracuda with manual...

I'm having some "interesting" problems with a brand new 318. It's running a Comp Cams XE268 cam and Comp Cams adjustable s/s rocker arms. It doesn't seem like there's any slack in the pushrods, but on every cylinder where the lifter is sitting on the base part of the cam, I can hold the pushrod...

Just got my car back from the shop. Brand new 318, supposedly broken in correctly. Ran good, test drive was good, then called and told me #7 cylinder was out and that it was acting like either a stuck valve or a flat cam. Told me that if it was stuck valve, the pushrod was likely bent and maybe...

I'm having the 273 in my 66 Barracuda replaced with a 318. The shop doing the work told me they'd have to modify the passenger side mount. I always though 273 and 318 mounts were the same, so I went down to look at it. Sure enough they're different. The 273 block has 2 mounting holes in the rear...
