I had a built 318 similar back in the 90's. Motor screamed. I used aluminum 360 heads, with bigger valves and all the HP goodies. I ran kieth black pistons, big comp cam and a 850 BG carb. I used a 727 trans with a 3800 stall with 4:56 gears on a 742 cast pumpkin with 8-3/4 rear. I put it in a feather duster. Engine revv'ed like a 340. Would run 12's all day.
@bdubz5150 i have a 92 Dakota with the 318 can i do All what u did it's fule injection now does carborater give more power i have the a518 transmission got the 392 rear end gears does the Mopar performance computer do anything i got that but never installed it what is the best carburetor and intake for that year motor to get the most horsepower
I knew a dude 40 years ago ran a 318 with 12.5 pistons, solid cam, massively ported steel heads, tunnel ram, 513 gears in a duster who could run side-by-side with a 440 -6pack Challenger! Challenger Wasn't stock either... 😮 at all..... lol. Small block mopar can be alotta fun!!! 😊
I just left a comment on another Video you posted about the 318 being an over looked engine and everyone wanting a 340. I agree that the 318 with the right combination of parts is a great running engine. 318s first are a very dependable engine. 2nd they can be built and run great for performance. My Duster was a 340 Duster. the engine had a big crack down the lifter valley. The guy I got the car from left water in it all winter... He gave me a 318 he new was good. So I put the 318 in and ran it stock at first to make sure the motor was good. After a couple weeks I used the complete top half of the 340 on the 318. Heads, intake, exhaust and distributor. Made a nice difference you could feel in how it ran. Now my Duster was my high school car. I was not easy on it. lol I never babied it. Was a 4 speed car with a V8 in high school years back when you think everything is unbreakable. My car before my Duster was a Dodge Dart with a 273 engine. I blew the engine by keeping the Speedometer buried for 35 miles. It still got me home. lol You could see the exhaust manifolds were cherry red in day light. I use to pound on my cars back then. The 318 engine I had put into my Duster with a 4 speed and tons of fun held up to everything I threw at it. I only parked it after years of running it because oil pressure dropped to nothing, It barely moved the oil gauge. That 318 engine took 25 years of my abusing it.
Lots of Mopars were hot 318's and snickered as a 340 by their owners! I did it back in the mid 90's on my 'Cuda..I told people its a 318 they all looked disgusted,then I got tired of arguing and just said its a 340 and they loved it and said oh man 340's haul ass!
I have a 67. Originally a 273 commando package. I was running a 318 in it for a while. Your vids make me wish I had kept that thing. Already prepping it for a 383 with an arm. Thanks for the great videos man. Just keep putting em out.
That is awesome I love 67 fastback 'cuda's and love the 318 many people think they are trash but they make great screamers when built right and they have that nice short stroke for revving out
@@patatocultivator4184 I've had 2 318 cars. And 1 340 car. Obviously the 340 was a little stronger in the stock configuration than the 318. But I have seen several builds now where someone took a 318 into some serious horsepower. It would be interesting to play with the earlier poly heads though
Had one in my 65 Belvedere long time ago. They are very reliable. You built a great example of what a small block can do by selecting the correct combination of components . Congratulations 🍾
My parents owned a 1973 Plymouth Fury with a 318 2-bbl. A nice reliable motor moving a 5K pound car with decent power. On a different note, I find it amazing that you’re able to generate 600hp out of a 318, truly impressive.
DUDE! Great video! I still have a bone stock 68 318 collecting dust, and always considered a 318 a boat anchor. Nice parts combo. I was always a 340 and 440+6 NOS junkie. Love to her the mechanical music! That would be a fun build using a 318 block...
I had a 318 out of a highway patrol car. With 360 heads and a very mild cam and a high rise 4 barrel intake. It made over 300 horsepower. I loved it. I want to build another one in the near future.
Love your Dodge very much here, please jus take good care of this particular ride... I hope that it will last many more years the way it is... Don't Crash..... or do something that you'll regret...
Yes- do it! 13:1 comp and dedicated E85- this thing will run great... You could throw even more cam at it these, run bigger cc heads with higher flow, put a Dominator and spin it to 8000 - 8500. It'd pick up near on 100hp I reckon- as long as you ported the heads more and threw more cam at it, bigger carb and maybe even a better set of headers... Dude...
I saw other videos from your channel and congratulations for the project! In the other videos you say that the engine is 408, so it uses the 4 in crankshaft?
Nice little package. I'm curious as to what the cam duration @0.50 is. Those cam specs, I suspect were the "advertised duration"- which isn't important as different cam companies take the valve lash up at different rates. People tend to give the "@0.050" specification because of this... Any ideas about Inlet port cc's and CFM? She's choppy at, sounds great at WOT too 💪
Hope it grows for you. I want to do something like what your doing, I have alot of Raw Video and Planned Content,....I just got a GoPro 4 last year, but dont have editing software...yet....😔
We use the Holley sniper xflow 1375 on e85 with a turbo but it would work with a torque storm. HP is limited to about 1000 by the injectors We run 9.90 s on 10 lbs boost. There is more in it but we're not pushing it hard. Plus, you get all the great stuff fuel injection offers like timing control and data logging
Make sure you get a main stud girdle if you up the power more, if you haven’t done that already. My 360 W2 head engine in the early 2000s made 671/659 on the engine dyno, the caps moved and I chewed up the front two mains. This was after about 50-60 1/4 runs.
.090 over on a 318 puts it at 4” bore. If that Eagle crank is the standard 3.31” stroke this is a 340ci. Killer. Thanks again for letting me hear it in person! My favorite A Body Barracuda!
Yeah fighting the weight is also a big factor. Trimming the weight off of a vehicle, and getting existing weight to transfer evenly to the rear tires, Paramount indeed.
I'd like to see 1.7 ratio rocker arms and titanium rods.. want to ask if it's worth drilling the oil lines in the block for high volume oil pump. I read something about that using a 1/4 dill bit. Was along time ago. Maybe you would know sir. Awesome 👌 build and sweet ride!!
I don't know why there is so much hate in the comments. This is art and if some of you gear heads had this setup you'd be proud too :) Good shit feller. I have a 68 Fury lll stock 318 would like to have it pull in more power. Any suggestions?
My 3250 plus lb 340 stroked to 418 built by Ray Barton yrs ago went 10.70/80 @ 123 mph with worked on eddie heads. Its made 502 hp and 549 ft lba all before 6000 rpm.
Run a turbo if you can, centri blowers just kill power until you get to 3k or so rpm (when it finally gets into boost). Turbos can be made to have almost zero lag.
Hey Gary I’m really interested to know what your cam specs are. you said it was a Howard with 600 lift is it a custom grind? Do you have the cam card? curious to know what the at 50 duration is. You said around 270ish that’s a pretty stout Cam for 330 cubes. Even for a solid!
Gary , i am revisiting you Page just ow, i amd reading so many Tech articles on Header diameter. seems 2 inches primarary pipes is optimum size for over 600 H.P. Mark. I wish i can find a Manufacturer to purchase , looks like a custom pair would be needed. or at least a stepped Header 1and 7/8 inch to 2 inches. and long tubed with Collector extensions. those Trickflow heads flow plenty on exhaust side , they claim same as a fully ported Indy 360-1 CNC ex port
thanks for sharing, I am in process of a 416 build and find this very interesting is the LSA narrow or wider ? I see you have 1 inch spacer too. this is great i think only you and the guy Simpson spd is only one with trick flow set ups on videos

If : 3200 lbs, 3.91 gearing 550 H.P. = 10.60's 1/4 mile times. This bored 318 you've built is putting out great HP numbers if you're running well into the 10s.
@@happyhermit6899 Oh I dont know I had back in the day a few 318s that ran 10.90s all day long in a 3400 lb car. What I am seeing watching a few of his videos he is not leaving the line near as hard as it could be he just needs to change a few things in the drivetrain. I built all the Mopars thru the years hemis,440s,413s,400s,383s,360s, and 340s and 318s even a slant 6. I knew a guy all he ran was 318 it went high 9s on race gas in a 3000lb car this was before the stroker kits were everywhere 1975 to be exact. His car is making about 500 to 550 HP more or less I ported heads for a living and built engines he has to much volume in the intake not enough velocity in a small cube engine with the commpression he says he has he nees to step the intake volume down a notch or put in 12:5:1 compression in it.
Nice build. Question... How much did you mill off the heads to get compression to 11.5:1? Trick flow 190 heads being 60cc would only provide 10.5:1 roughly with 4.0" bore and stock 318 stroke of 3.310 if zero decked and minimal head gasket of about .040 I'm a 318 mopar guy and eat and sleep these numbers. A 4.0 stroke would get you 12.7:1 and run well with that combo on e85
Have you run it against any mopar big blocks? I want to believe that a highly dialed in small block beats stock horsepower. I think I saw a video recently of a dialed in slant six beating a hellcat.
I love the car and small block Mopars. But I am surprised that any dragstrip would let you run with that much rubber fuel line. Most strips are very particular and limit cars to 12 inch or so of rubber fuel line. Good luck to you , racing the Mopar.
I have an 85 318. Bored over .030. Stock strock 3.31". I have to put a cam and heads on it for some power, but some good noise, too. The edelbrock heads look like a nice set and have a max of .575 lift. Im looking at a Cam to get it, but I dont know whitch one to run. I heard the 6900 cam is a perfect little cam to use with a 278/288 with .421/.444 lift. The other is the 20-223-3 with 268/280 with .477/.480 lift. I dont know what cam to run for nice performance but with the sound im looking for.
Well tell us about the transmission, the rear end, the gears, the tires, and the rear suspension. Do you have 1090 shocks in the front? How are you hooking up? What's the car weigh? What are your 60s? Whats it do in the 8th? At what speed? What's i t do in the quarter? At what speed? Then we can all go wow I could have saved some money.
I have a 67 formula S , that I have a 340 block out of a 70 cuda that I would like to build. My car needs total restoration, But was sure great to see a fast Barracuda run down the track, Thanks.
If you bore it more than .030, it won't be a 390. If you dare to bore it .090 to 4.00, with a 4.00 stroke, it'll be exactly 400ci. Not 408. A 408 has a 4.030 bore.
I should bought a regal that an Aussie car an repowered it with one of those we have the fireball motor here in nz an we drive them hard those engines rev with those upgrades they would be monster on the street an walked over fords I am a major Mopar fan from nz
That is awesome. I'm still curious on the 90 thousandths overbore. There was still plenty of cylinder wall left after that? I've heard some say they will go that far and some say "no way". I guess the earliest 318 blocks maybe best though?
You can, just going to take headflow, compression, camshaft and lots of revs. 320+ cfm intake port flow 12:1 compression 7500-8000 rpms Put enough gear and stall in the car ( like 4500 rpm plus and some 4.30 gears minimum ), she'll smack 10s at will and high 9s with slicks and good air.
You don’t need a dyno! The most accurate horsepower measurement is with the formula knowing the weight, et and mph. It will tell you exactly what power was put down on that run!
@@thatguyyouknow9706 I said it tells you exactly what horsepower was put down on that run. That takes wheel spin into account. If you spin then the number you put down will be less.
@@blade-fpv9411 WRONG, its always accurate because it measures exactly how much power was put to the ground! If you spin the whole track and run a high E.T. It will tell you how much power was needed to run that bad E.T., when you build a drag car you build it to handle the power you need for the time you want to run.
Remember to gap your rings if your going to run boost if you go the supercharger route seen to man toss a turbo or procharger on and not gap the rings and wonder why the end up with broken pistons
I had a 67 belvedere with a 318 in high school it would pull a tire of the ground when I put the hard twist in the uno body at launch! What a fun car! One of my biggest regrets was selling but my dad still has his with a 440 out of a 67 imperial. I get to drive it every few years when in town
@@garysgarage9827 ... Are u still running the stock stroke spec... 3.31" or is it the 4" inch stroke aftermarket crankshaft? 4" bore and 4" stroke makes it a 402 cubic inch stroker...??? Bore × bore × stroke × no. of cylinders × .7854 ... 4.000 × 4.000 × 4.000 × 8 × .7854 = 402.12 cubic inches...
@@garysgarage9827 ... If u have a 318 block with a 4" bore w/ a 3.31" stroke crankshaft, that will give u 333 cubic inches... 4.000 x 4.000 x 3.31 x 8 x .7854 = 332. 76 cubic inches So is your total displacement 333 c.i. or 402 c.i. ????
usually 4" there are some that go with Shorter cranks 3.53(Mostly 340 engines spec for pistons) But the off the shelf pistons are easier to find for a 4 "stroke
I hear that! I picked up a forged 3.79" crank for $200 only to find out I may need to custom order pistons. Minimum required quantity was 80 from the one manufacturer who took my call. If ten of you are interested in 318s with a 3.79" crank, let UEM know 😆
1967 was the first year of the 318 LA, or Light A model engine. 1966 was the last year of the Poly 318, another great engine with a different head design--inline like a Hemi, but not canted.
In 1968, Ford transferred from the 289 to 302, but if you bought a Mustang in January 1968...you got a leftover 289 engine before they all got the 302. It would be real interesting to see how many items transfer from a later LA318 or a 273 to your late cast 318. I assume any bolt hole lines up, seeing as the 273 changed its intake and head bolt relationship after 1965. Ma Mopar probably had ironed out things by 1966...but what happens on the assembly line, never stays at the assembly line. :)
@@albertgaspar627 they changed to the LA block for the 1967 model year, which they started building in 1966. So any time someone says they have a '67 block, they're talking about the car's model year. it could have been cast as early as August of 66
@@Tumbleweed_Tx Thanks, you probably read my post above about Fords (and of course there's the Chevy 402 that was badged as a 396 since that's the emblems they had lying around). I suspect, tho, whatever LAs were built in 1966, it wasn't enough to meet demand in 1967 so they may have run out by say end of January or February and a car built after that had indeed, a 1967 casting. but who knows, Ma Mope was different when it came to building engines--like if you see a maltese cross, it means the block went back for machining, another symbol for the crank, etc. waste not, want not :)
You should look into b3 racing engines and their geometry correcting kit for roller rockers on mopar engines. It's a good way to make more power and reduce stress on the valve train. Also do you have any timing light recommendations
With this build you're probably running upwards of 425 pound feet of torque and if it can turn to 7,000 rpm you'll be within kissing distance of 600 hp. Please post a video of your dyno pulls!
@@smilsmff. And didn't he say it's bored enough to use 360 pistons? In that case, especially with a longer stroke, it ain't a 318. You can only call a motor the same size it began as when it's bored no more than .060" and not stroked (that seems to be the "rule"). Very cool build nonetheless. Let's hear/see it run!

yes, the best headers I could find were these TTIs
Great combo! Really cool going big bore on a 318. Your definitely 600 hp.
Guessing 4” stroke, you didn’t mention stroke.
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop nah he said stock stoke on a reply somewhere on here
@@SimpsonsSpeedShop Thank you! I checked out some of your videos. I love your dart!
thanks for sharing, I am in process of a 416 build and find this very interesting is the LSA narrow or wider ? I see you have 1 inch spacer too. this is great i think only you and the guy Simpson spd is only one with trick flow set ups on videos
I would like to see it when you’re done! I have a 106 LSA.
@@garysgarage9827 Thanks, seems getting the 4 bolt caps from Pro gram cant be done so I am going with Milodon everything is in slow motion due to the Virus i guess

550 H.P. = 10.60's

This bored 318 you've built is putting out great HP numbers if you're running well into the 10s.
It's pretty smart boring it to 360 bore to use 360 pistons
This is not a 318. I’d say it’s a 390 if he bought an eagle crank.
@@happyhermit6899 Oh I dont know I had back in the day a few 318s that ran 10.90s all day long in a 3400 lb car. What I am seeing watching a few of his videos he is not leaving the line near as hard as it could be he just needs to change a few things in the drivetrain. I built all the Mopars thru the years hemis,440s,413s,400s,383s,360s, and 340s and 318s even a slant 6. I knew a guy all he ran was 318 it went high 9s on race gas in a 3000lb car this was before the stroker kits were everywhere 1975 to be exact.
His car is making about 500 to 550 HP more or less I ported heads for a living and built engines he has to much volume in the intake not enough velocity in a small cube engine with the commpression he says he has he nees to step the intake volume down a notch or put in 12:5:1 compression in it.
@@happyhermit6899 a lot of builds are 413 to 416 ci starting with a 360 block.
@@stovepipe9er I’m quite aware of all the possibilities. My point is….. HE IS NOT RUNNING 318 cubic inches but he claims he is.
Nice build.
Question...
How much did you mill off the heads to get compression to 11.5:1?
Trick flow 190 heads being 60cc would only provide 10.5:1 roughly with 4.0" bore and stock 318 stroke of 3.310 if zero decked and minimal head gasket of about .040
I'm a 318 mopar guy and eat and sleep these numbers.
A 4.0 stroke would get you 12.7:1 and run well with that combo on e85
You got me dude, you’re new sub!!!! Mopar or no car 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much!
I am going to build one thank you Sir.
Have you run it against any mopar big blocks? I want to believe that a highly dialed in small block beats stock horsepower. I think I saw a video recently of a dialed in slant six beating a hellcat.
what stroke is the eagle crank and why did you go with cast over forged ?
What year did Mopar switch to the thin wall castings? How far can the later blocks be bored and still handle similar power levels? Thanks...
So you bought an Eagle crank with the stock 3.31 stroke or is it s 4 inch stroker crank?
what LSA does the cam have? Nice job on the motor btw.
Those 318s never die 😊
I love the car and small block Mopars. But I am surprised that any dragstrip would let you run with that much rubber fuel line. Most strips are very particular and limit cars to 12 inch or so of rubber fuel line.
Good luck to you , racing the Mopar.
Most tracks on test n tune night don't look at much
I have an 85 318. Bored over .030. Stock strock 3.31". I have to put a cam and heads on it for some power, but some good noise, too. The edelbrock heads look like a nice set and have a max of .575 lift. Im looking at a Cam to get it, but I dont know whitch one to run. I heard the 6900 cam is a perfect little cam to use with a 278/288 with .421/.444 lift. The other is the 20-223-3 with 268/280 with .477/.480 lift. I dont know what cam to run for nice performance but with the sound im looking for.
Well tell us about the transmission, the rear end, the gears, the tires, and the rear suspension. Do you have 1090 shocks in the front? How are you hooking up? What's the car weigh? What are your 60s? Whats it do in the 8th? At what speed?
What's i t do in the quarter?
At what speed? Then we can all go wow I could have saved some money.
great video & car . so it is about 332 cid now ?
I have a 67 formula S , that I have a 340 block out of a 70 cuda that I would like to build. My car needs total restoration, But was sure great to see a fast Barracuda run down the track, Thanks.
Thank you!
Restore it. Or you will always regret it
Great job bad ass car and motor
Congratulations, this 318 have fangs !
Could I do this bore with a 390 stroker kit from hughes? Obviously would need to get some other stuff custom, but I'm thinking its do-able
If you bore it more than .030, it won't be a 390. If you dare to bore it .090 to 4.00, with a 4.00 stroke, it'll be exactly 400ci. Not 408. A 408 has a 4.030 bore.
Is the crank stock stroke or a stroker crank and what's the rods and rod length??
Nice! Just goes to show what a good head will do on an engine!
Heck yeah! Please let us know the Dyno hp. I've had 3 barracudas.
What is the actual cubic inches? You said it is bored 90 over. Is it stroked at all on top of the overbore?
Wanted to know the trans, rear axle and gear ratio too. But sick motor no doubt
I should bought a regal that an Aussie car an repowered it with one of those we have the fireball motor here in nz an we drive them hard those engines rev with those upgrades they would be monster on the street an walked over fords I am a major Mopar fan from nz
Do you remember the part# for the heads at Trickflow? Thanks in advance.
That is awesome. I'm still curious on the 90 thousandths overbore. There was still plenty of cylinder wall left after that? I've heard some say they will go that far and some say "no way". I guess the earliest 318 blocks maybe best though?
Early blocks are supposedly better but need to sonic test.
Yes. My machine shop told me I still have enough to bore it another 30 over. No overheating issues, it runs at 175 all day long
@@garysgarage9827 Awesome. I was thinking this was the 408 stroked engine ???
@@DR440 it’s just a 318 😉
@@garysgarage9827 Wow. Great numbers for stock stroke 318 then...or 333" by overbore ..
Bada$$ 318 you have wish I could make that power with my 86 roller cam
You can, just going to take headflow, compression, camshaft and lots of revs.
320+ cfm intake port flow
12:1 compression
7500-8000 rpms
Put enough gear and stall in the car ( like 4500 rpm plus and some 4.30 gears minimum ), she'll smack 10s at will and high 9s with slicks and good air.
Sounds like a good game plan. When you get to try something let us know. Pretty stout for a 318.
I wanna copy your build for my daughter's 65 Valent with a 4speed its baller budd....💯🍻
Is this a stroker 318? Like 391ci. You mentioned an Eagle crank, is it the stock 3.31 stroke?
You don’t need a dyno! The most accurate horsepower measurement is with the formula knowing the weight, et and mph. It will tell you exactly what power was put down on that run!
Well there's a bit of loss depending on wheelspin, but assuming no wheelspin loss, you're correct.
@@thatguyyouknow9706 I said it tells you exactly what horsepower was put down on that run. That takes wheel spin into account. If you spin then the number you put down will be less.
@@theoriginalmungaman Well, if you spin the whole track and run a crap ET because of it, that formula will be nowhere near accurate brother.
@@blade-fpv9411 WRONG, its always accurate because it measures exactly how much power was put to the ground! If you spin the whole track and run a high E.T. It will tell you how much power was needed to run that bad E.T., when you build a drag car you build it to handle the power you need for the time you want to run.
@@theoriginalmungaman it's absolutely mathematically impossible to get a accurate hp rating spinning down the track lol 😆😂
Had a guy at my local track that would bore his 318 blocks to 4.04 and run 340 pistons, 318s have some meat in the cylinders
UTG would love to cover this engine I bet...he loves 318's.
Nice job. What gears and trans u runnin
3.91 gears and the factory 833 4 speed transmission
how does that long rubber fuel line pass tech at the race track?
Thanks for sharing, new subscriber
Have a 67 I’m going for something similar
If it's a 66 it would be an A series engine which would be a polyhead mopar went to the LA series 318 in 67 I believe
Gary said, ''An even more badass 318''...............by subbing this channel, i feel i've opened a door to a parallel universe.
Neighborhood airports may still have 130 octane Ave gas. Just get in line behind the local Cessna & get topped off for serious spark advance.
is this a production block? if so did yoo have to fill the block to withstand
How did you get it .90 bore I always thought you couldn't get it more then .30 over ?
Remember to gap your rings if your going to run boost if you go the supercharger route seen to man toss a turbo or procharger on and not gap the rings and wonder why the end up with broken pistons
The rings are gapped
I kept the 318 in my 67 belvedere; but it's nothing like that. Pretty damn cool...
I had a 67 belvedere with a 318 in high school it would pull a tire of the ground when I put the hard twist in the uno body at launch! What a fun car! One of my biggest regrets was selling but my dad still has his with a 440 out of a 67 imperial. I get to drive it every few years when in town
Build it at 11.0 CR keep the revs at 7.2k max and run it ok pump gas/E85 if you don't want to blow it up. Should net about 440BHP.
What Crank Are you using?
Great results. I was wondering about the main caps and bolts.
The main caps are factory, and it has ARP main studs
@@garysgarage9827 ...so you. basically have a stock 318 production block with a 4 inch bore ... ???
@@garysgarage9827 ... Are u still running the stock stroke spec... 3.31" or is it the 4" inch stroke aftermarket crankshaft? 4" bore and 4" stroke makes it a 402 cubic inch stroker...??? Bore × bore × stroke × no. of cylinders × .7854 ... 4.000 × 4.000 × 4.000 × 8 × .7854 = 402.12 cubic inches...
@@garysgarage9827 ... If u have a 318 block with a 4" bore w/ a 3.31" stroke crankshaft, that will give u 333 cubic inches... 4.000 x 4.000 x 3.31 x 8 x .7854 = 332. 76 cubic inches
So is your total displacement 333 c.i. or 402 c.i. ????
Awesome build! Whats the stroke on the crank?
usually 4" there are some that go with Shorter cranks 3.53(Mostly 340 engines spec for pistons) But the off the shelf pistons are easier to find for a 4 "stroke
I hear that! I picked up a forged 3.79" crank for $200 only to find out I may need to custom order pistons. Minimum required quantity was 80 from the one manufacturer who took my call. If ten of you are interested in 318s with a 3.79" crank, let UEM know 😆
1967 was the first year of the 318 LA, or Light A model engine. 1966 was the last year of the Poly 318, another great engine with a different head design--inline like a Hemi, but not canted.
I have another very late cast 66 dated 318 la block in my garage, came from a 67 dart.
In 1968, Ford transferred from the 289 to 302, but if you bought a Mustang in January 1968...you got a leftover 289 engine before they all got the 302. It would be real interesting to see how many items transfer from a later LA318 or a 273 to your late cast 318. I assume any bolt hole lines up, seeing as the 273 changed its intake and head bolt relationship after 1965. Ma Mopar probably had ironed out things by 1966...but what happens on the assembly line, never stays at the assembly line. :)
also the motor mounts are slightly different, needing a spacer
@@albertgaspar627 they changed to the LA block for the 1967 model year, which they started building in 1966. So any time someone says they have a '67 block, they're talking about the car's model year. it could have been cast as early as August of 66
@@Tumbleweed_Tx Thanks, you probably read my post above about Fords (and of course there's the Chevy 402 that was badged as a 396 since that's the emblems they had lying around). I suspect, tho, whatever LAs were built in 1966, it wasn't enough to meet demand in 1967 so they may have run out by say end of January or February and a car built after that had indeed, a 1967 casting. but who knows, Ma Mope was different when it came to building engines--like if you see a maltese cross, it means the block went back for machining, another symbol for the crank, etc.
waste not, want not :)
You should look into b3 racing engines and their geometry correcting kit for roller rockers on mopar engines. It's a good way to make more power and reduce stress on the valve train. Also do you have any timing light recommendations
Thanks I’ll look into them. I’m also looking for a timing light myself lol I had to borrow one to time it.
He's on forabodiesonly.
Biggest mistake was putting a Chinese Eagle crank in there it will break. Does it have a stroker kit 390ci ?
So far 3 people didnt like this. They are probably ls fanboys.
You said eagle crank. Stock stroke? How does it sound? Be nice to see dyno numbers!
My stock 66 fury with a 318 is looking at me nervously now...
got any extra parts kicking around?
A few engine blocks lol
Very nice 👍
What is the rod length with those 360 pistons ?
Is this the whole motor or just top end
With this build you're probably running upwards of 425 pound feet of torque and if it can turn to 7,000 rpm you'll be within kissing distance of 600 hp. Please post a video of your dyno pulls!
Really? My 390 AMX came stock with 430 ft/lbs of tq...
@@DaveyHo69 But has 70 more cubes that translates to about 80 more pounds of torque, Dah!
Wicked little "318"!
is it still the 318 3.31" stroke? I just bought a set of the trick flow heads and they rock so much better then the edelbrock heads by far
he says he has a Eagle crankshaft, so off the shelf they only make the 3.31 or 4.0 cranks most likely stroked
@@smilsmff. And didn't he say it's bored enough to use 360 pistons? In that case, especially with a longer stroke, it ain't a 318. You can only call a motor the same size it began as when it's bored no more than .060" and not stroked (that seems to be the "rule"). Very cool build nonetheless. Let's hear/see it run!
@@smilsmff he mentioned in another post stock stroke
@@mikewillett5076 Watch his other video's and you will see and hear it run
