Im getting ready to pull the bigblock 318 out of my convertable runs good but shoud be rebuilt smokes on start ups...Artie (P.S will not ship)

 

[rumblefish360]

I could swing by at the end of April and get it from you. If someone else needs it, let'em have it. I know a guy that could use it, but it is not a priority thing.

 

[RustyRatRod]

I would love to have it.

Hey Rumblefish,

I could have delivered it to you if it was already pulled. I'm leaving today for MD and then on to Conn.


Timing is everything...In life...In dealing...and In your distributor....
When the timing's perfect, everything runs smoother...

Is it a poly 318 ?

 

[krazykuda]

Yes, 318 big block and poly 318 are the same thing. The last year for them was 66 and I'm not sure, but I think that they started making them in the late fifties.

 

[AdamR]

I just wasnt sure on the whole big block thing.

 

[rumblefish360]

Yea those old Poly engine blocks are big by todays standards. If our GOdFather has it yanked, I'd like it alot if ya had it in your pocket for delivery. or reasonabley close I'd meet ya. If not, no biggie. I could just as easy make a slight detour on my way south to Ga. later on.

Is it a poly 318 ?

The last time I heard someone use that silly term, I laughed out loud!
Put a 50's Hemi side to side with a Poly 318 and learn what a real BIG block is!

 

[damnimcooltom]

"Big Block" is usually used to refer to "B" and "RB" engines. A poly 318 is an "A" engine. I usually hear them referred to as "wideblock" or "poly".

 

[rumblefish360]

I hear that was mostly, but from time to time, I hear big block 318.

 

[godfatherofchry]

yes its a poly lol.its still big and it will probly be out this coming week end I hope.and its all yours.I will know more about it by friday..will let you know............Artie

 

[tekslk]

Nice of him to give it up its probably worth 75 at scrap yard.

 

[Guitar Jones]

Yeah, nice gesture. I always wanted to do an all out poly engine. Stroker maybe a turbo with a sheet metal intake. It would probably be one of a kind.

 

[rumblefish360]

Thank you there God-pappy! You'll be making a freind very happy.

 

[godfatherofchry]

There are alot of b-body guys building stroker poly's. Here's a few custom intakes for ya! :tongue9: I thought about stroking mine but just did a street cam, blue printed rockers, and dual quad setup on a stock dual quad intake, not one of these.
