Guys I know posts such as this are being brought out constantly but I have to ask. I have a co-worker(s) who are into street machines/muscle and constantly ask me how much HP I think my setup is getting. So to just give me some kind of estimate can anyone give me some thoughts. I just tell...

Hey gentlemen my recently rebuilt 318 has been running great until about three hours ago. For some reason upon hot start up it coughed, stalled, and the proceeded to run rough for the next fifteen minutes I drove it. I smelled gasoline so I thought perhaps I flooded it. However, this car...

Well guys I finally got my Dart back and the freshly rebuilt 318 sounds nice. However I want to know what is the proper way to break in an engine after a rebuild? On a previous rebuild I just babied it a little for about two thousand miles and changed the oil at that point. What do you gents...

Hey gentlemen is it just me or does it seem like more of us are doing 318 builds the last couple of years or so? I've been a Mopar enthusiast for a long time and for awhile it seemed like the attitude was "junk the 318 and go 360". Now it seems like many of us are building good 318's now. Am...

Okay guys I just received news from my mechanic that he believes my low oil pressure situation has led to some wiped out cam bearings. However to be sure he would have to open it up and tear it down. So with that said I am going to have him rebuild my 318 and since it's open I might as well...

Well guys last week I got my new BFG's finally installed on my car. So my wife and I decided to take the Dart out on the highway for a nice cruise to Palm Springs. Man it felt so good finally having some nice tires underneath this car. The handling and responsiveness was very nice. As we...

Today on our way home from church my engine started to give a high pitched squeal that would go away upon acceleration but come right back when I let off the throttle. I figured it was perhaps a vacuum leak but cannot find any lines that could be at fault. This is very odd and has me stumped...

Hey guys for some reason my oil pressure light goes on after about fifteen minutes of driving and only while the car is stopped and in gear. The light fails to go on while I'm actually driving or in park and in idle. Is this an engine issue or electrical issue?

Someone nearby has placed an advertisement selling the above mentioned block, crank, and heads. My question for you guys is the following. What's the potential of the 383? I currently have a 74 Dodge Dart with a 318 but was looking for a future upgrade to a 360. Would it be the same type of...

Have any of you guys done this swap into your rides? Either way would this be a potentially cool and worth while modification? With fuel injection and the roller cam would there be some good power in a relatively small package?

I just got done installing a rebuilt Thermoquad I purchased on the net and have an issue. At first the motor sounded great, idled fast, but ran great. I adjusted the idle, motor sounded great, then suddenly I have a miss. What could it be guys? I'm thinking a fouled plug perhaps? It's been...

Since I own a vehicle with a 5.0HO I know that one of the aspects of that engine that make it a good street performer bone stock is the fact that it is roller cammed. I have heard that roller cams allow for more aggressive cams with a better idle and overall more efficiency than the other cam...

I have looked up and down the CompCams website and cannot find a link for sound bytes. Can someone please link me if these sound bytes are still an option?

I'm thinking of just ditching my old Thermoquad in favor of an Edelbrock intake and Performer Carb combo on my 318. What type of results have you guys received from this combination? I am thinking of putting in a Comp Cams XE268H inside while I am doing things to the motor. Good combo...

What if Dodge produced their own monster sized big block like Chevy's 502? Man that would be intense.

Why is the 318 considered by many a "boat anchor", as one forum member referred to it as, while the Ford 302 is considered a capable little motor for hot rodding? You have a Mustang with a 302 and it's considered hot while anything Mopar with a 318 has a "boat anchor". Maybe I am wrong but it...

I know numerous threads have been created in regards to this topic. However I want a no nonsense assessment as to what it takes to build a 275 HP 318.

How many of you guys run Mopar Performance crate motors in your rides? If so, how have they worked out for you? Are they truly better than putting one together yourself?
