I own a 318LA mid 60s. I think?

Currently working on a few things and gonna get roudy with it this summer.
 
That's haunting

318 swap into a Nova?

We can handle it
Mid 60s Hough 50 series. Oh, the LA 2 barrel performance and endurace on a 100k mile swap back in the 80s???, and i parked this machine 3 years ago from this post, has been surprising. Never been apart. See what all leaks next week.

I messed up this post quote,,don't honor it.


Yeah, i remember moving material and making those manifolds glow red all night trying to fill quotas.

That poor engine has been though hell since the 80s. I honestly wished I could verify the CR but I don't want to kill gaskets. I'm in a time crunch getting a pump on it
 
All the information I've found with the cast number gives me zero narrowing.

As far as I can tell it's 2 barrel and intake are all factory to that cast #. I'm not to worried, but it should put out enough torque to handle a 35gpm pump 2000psi.

It had a 24gpm on it. I'm going for a bit more flow for attachments.
 
No, under 5 and 7 on block.
I highly doubt this is marine too. Rotation is cw looking at front of engine.

Don't believe the manifolds. I think there's some switch a roos to dodge motor mounts and ****.

There's no starter because it's on the other side. ;)

Put it in a motorcycle, you could probably get a 9 second time slip pretty easy.
Nope. Back in the day the choice was made to see how it does in a 11 ton machine to move dirt for a business over 30 years.

We were impressed.
 
I just removed 50/50 champions labeled n13y and n14y.

Added something AC delco x8 that's a fuzz shorter on a new coil with ballast delete. Hopefully no piston damage.
 
Great day to work on the truck hood and do an oil sample.

Yes!!! It all dissolves in fresh oil!!! No chunks after some mix and grind!!

New gaskets, and let's see what this oil pump can grind up.

Hasn't had an oil gauge for 40 years. Might install one for this idea.

I know. Keeping oil out of the hood scratches. Weird, I agree.
