no, they said you'd be leaving power on the table with a 500 (when compared to a 600/650 obviously). learn to quote correctly not to suit your argument. you twisted their statement to make it sound like they'd compared the 500 to the stock 2 barrel which clearly wasn't the case.
Sorry guys, but this is true. The 318 wasn't offered a 4 barrel carburetor until the volare came out. I'm not talking about the police package vehicle's as they were not available new to the general public.
I'm sure that you have been given every suggestion under the sun. I'd probably use a intake manifold that has ports close to size of the 318's cylinder heads. Carburetor, the smaller carbs will give you the best throttle response and low to midrange torque. A lot of guys are going to suggest a bigger carburetor but for what it sounds like your looking at doing a 500 cfm is plenty. If you upgrade to better heads, cam, then yes the bigger carburetor will be needed. I think that a 500 cfm carburetor, good intake manifold, 4 hole 1/2" carb spacer, 340 cam and dual exhaust will make you a fun ride. This probably already has been said, I didn't feel like reading the whole thing again. Happy hot rodding.
I was talking about every day drivers, not many people buy maxi vans. The op was talking about con
The diplomat was not offered to the general public with a 4 barrel carburetor. The vehicles that you are talking about were for the first responders only, the general public could buy them at auction but not from their local dealer, I tried that
I've never seen a 4 barrel on a 318 until the late '70's. I don't know about the Van's and truck's.
Right, but it's after the 70's. My point was is that there wasn't one prior to the volare roadrunner package
318's were offered with a dual quads long before the 70's.
I've never seen or heard of any 318 ever being offered with anything other than a 2 barrel. They wasn't a factory option. Probably dealer installed. I have family that retired from Chrysler
would that be a poly 318 though?
3.91 bore, 3.31 stroke, same as the LA. 1957 dual quads was an option.
None of us know every avenue of this hobby. You should open your mind, all there is to know you have not obtained, and neither have I. "Any 318" you say, but yes, the 3.91 bore, 3.31 stroke 318 was offered with dual quads.
same bore and stroke...... but not an la though. the 302 in early z28 camaro's isn't a ford 302, same bore and stroke but......
It's a 318 mopar, that share many parts with the LA. Can you put the 302 Ford crank into a 302 chivy?same bore and stroke...... but not an la though. the 302 in early z28 camaro's isn't a ford 302, same bore and stroke but......
just what i thought, just because you've never heard of or seen it doesn't mean it never existed.
no, but we all know he meant la 318
He said "any 318". I do not disregard the poly 318. The poly 318 is just as much mopar as the LA, was in production for many years, and the LA got many of it's parts from the Poly. I also do not disregard the magnum 318's. Keep in mind, all this because I suggested a 3310 and Dan quoted me say'n "way to much cfm's for a 318". We are talking the 318 C.I. engine. By the way, we are a ways away from the OP's question LOLno, but we all know he meant la 318
I did mean the la 318 only. I believe that the discussion was on a 60's barracuda and the poly was already gone
It didn't on the la 318's plain and simple
Lets not forget, all this because I suggested a 3310 and you quoted me saying "way too much cfm for a 318". So no matter Poly or LA, we have shown and posted that Mopar themselves put a lot of cfms' on the 3.91 bore, 3.31 stroke (I.E. the 318)
haven't others already quoted van and truck 318's with a 4 barrel. you said readily available which they were, you can't have it both ways
my neighbor drove a factory 318 4bbl van for years, he car-pooled to work and had many riders.haven't others already quoted van and truck 318's with a 4 barrel. you said readily available which they were, you can't have it both ways
