Chrysler did have iron foundries in AUS and there were several AUS exclusive castings. In the states the 318 and 340 both used full floating con rods until around 1978
Back in late 80's I built a 318 for my VIP, the motor came from a Dodge Truck and it had floating pistons ( circlips ), steel crank and adjustable rockers ( 273 ) that crank looks like it's steel not cast?
@@unclebrentsshed4253 id like to know that too, i have a truck 360 i believe 1972 the block number comes up with, ive not looked to actualy see how its ballanced, i assumed the same as the car 360s heads are off, not pulled the rest down, as its stock pistons, but flat tops, all other 360s ive look into from above had lower compression pistons. i got hemi performance to build a 318 for my 4 speed 2.92 diff run 360 heads, 340 4 barrel intake from the 1970s, man it hauled arse. no they left the pistons down in the bore, i asked for a steel crank, double row timing chain, windage tray, ,high volume oil pump, i drove it 12 months, gear box cracked, got it welded put together, had the engine with me, and mate so called sold my charger on me while my daughter was getting cancer treatment. 318 i have the heads off, not looked into the bottom end. 31 years its sat, i wonder if they put in everything i ordered. i defanatly got the big cam, at 6000rpm in top gear the lines on the road turn into one solid line. young and stupid.

Oh nice mate , thanks for your input 👌🏽
very informative! keep it up mate!
Cheers mate, thank you
If it can rotate then it will rotate. That applies to the rings, valves and snap rings.
Yes , someone needs to do an experiment and pull an engine down shortly after a rebuild
@@unclebrentsshed4253 Been there, done that.
Yes the piston rings rotate while the engine is running
how are you not getting more likes, i dont get it.
Tell me about it 😅
Did a great job on missing the oil tray🤣
Haha real life lessons here mate, no dodgy editing at all 😅😂👌🏽
"Stole off me dad or he lent it to me and I just kept it...." hahaha
He’s probably glad to see it still being used, Rip Dad 🥲

Thanks for your input , the Australian dodge truck engines (I believe) either Slant , Hemi or 318 were all balanced supposedly.

young and stupid.
I’m doing an 6g74 swap on my 2000 eclipse gt and I the engine iama get is an 3.5 out an diamanté what can I do for pistons for power
Personally I’d just shave the heads as much as you can to up the compression
Silly idea.
