Sir As an visual start look at where the 318's Oil Pan Slump is located. Then match this with the needed space location in the truck. Any Dodge Van with an V8 has the needed Engine to Frame Bracket's. Any 1974 to 1972 Dodge Van with non EGR/ Emmission Exhaust Manifold on the Left ( Driver's ) will b...

Alexi In 4th ( aka Over-Drive ) with the 3.55:1 Ratio it will always perform as if you are going against the wind or an long up-grade or a little of both. With this Rear Axle Ratio you will be in 3rd many times on The Inter-States. The better of the two with the transmission you are going to use is ...

Hola Part two of what was just said is after about 20 to 15 MPH the Cooling Fan is not needed. This means on any vhicle the fan only is needed when you are using the drive window at some place or you are in some local parade. This is where The Fan Shroud - Fan and etc do their job. Some where betwee...

Jim This is an item that all can "learn about" so be kind if you feel if I'm Preaching To The Choir . The GM and MoPar's both use the same Engine Fan Clutch Units so this part is very easy to locate. Because of the lack of Water Pump Nose location and The Radiator location there is very little room ...

John 1. The 1980 something 727 ( or 998 ) from The Slant Six Powered Dodge Truck will bolt to your 1967 Slant Six and should bolt up to the same location's. The newer Transmission has an Valve Body Unit which allows an "part trottle" dowm shift vs stomping the peddle to the floor. Because the Spline...

Sir Just so that you know ... most after market intakes that have 318 cast into them are for The LA-360 Heads. The Inlet Head Ports for all 318's are one size and The Inlet Head Ports for any LA-360 are much larger. Because of this it is as if having an 3/4 inch pipe and trying to flow the matter in...

Sir The OEM Exhaust Manifolds used in all of the Trucks from The 100 Series to The Largest of The Large all use the same Exhaust Manifold's. On both sides of The Engine they are an "Center Dump". The Right Side ( Passenger Side is the same part number used with the Car Division's ( and even the 240/...

Hola

Just below the Head Gasket on The Driver's Front ( behind of where
an Power Steering Pump would go ). This is where it is for an original
engine placed in The Car Division's.

If the vehicle has an alum cased automatic it is an 1962 to 1966 engine.

Hola

Yelp - you are correct that I did some in-correct coping. The page
that I did it from is 1966 Dodge Truck Spec's - page 37.

1st .... 3.02:1
2nd ........... 1.76:1
3rd ..................... 1.00:1

Thank You for pointing it out.

Sir Back in 1960 any year The Fan Shrouds of any Division all appeared as if the 1960 any year High School Drafing Class designed it and The 1960 any year Medal Shop Class made it for their first project. This means aquire an medal one from just about any source and attach it to your Radiator/ truck...

Hello All This is an subject line that we can all do by removing any OEM or flex fan and using instead an Silicone Fluid Drive Fan Drive so the engine is not losing power on spining this type of Engine Cooling Fan. The un-needed consumed HP of this and the wasted MPG is not what is wanted. *********...

Jim The MoPar A-500 or the A-518 which was used in the first series Over-Drive is what you want. The were used mostly in The Dodge 1500 and 2500 Vans. The Dakota and The Dodge Ram Trucks also used them too ( but not the same number count as what was put in vans ). The largest engine/ vehicle used wi...

Sir

The ratio of each gear used in the 3 speed manual is the same in
every truck - every rear axle ratio and every engine used.

Reverse 3.95 - 1

1st 3.95 - 1
2nd 3.02 - 1
3rd 1.76 - 1

Alex It is not so much the material The Radiatior is made of it is the flow of air that the passes through it. This is why Radiator Fan Shrouds are an value. If you are in the need of another radiator do your shopping at any pick & pull for an 1980's something Chrysler - Dodge or Plymouth Car with a...

Sir In answer to your question for an newer unit start looking for an Five Lug 9 1/4 from any 1972 and newer Dodge truck or Ram Charger. The complete unit will bolt in. As already said you may need an size adaptation to get the Brake Line on and a different Yoke/ U-Joint. For trucks the 3.5:1 ratio ...

Chris The fourth paragraph and the first sentence of it reads; " ... The metal Bracket used on 383's is different than what is used with A-318's". All A-Series Plymouth Engines ( aka A-318 & Family ) and what The Dodge Corperation used since 1959 - LA-273's - LA-318's and LA-340's all share the same...

Gordo I am confused because the base of any 4 bbl Carb used on any 413's ( or other such sized engines ) is larger that the last 4 bbl Carbed A-318 ( this was 1962 with Plymouth or Dodge Car Division's ). Of what 413's that had an 2 bbl ( Dodge Heavy Truck Division only ) it is the same base fitting...

Mac You have an five hole pattern. This means in more modern vehicles you are limited to 15 inch wheels. Around Colo Spgs this is an $25 per wheel item. The 235 x 75 x 15 sized tire is an good combo. Will the Jeep Wheel fit to the Sweptline ??? The center hole must also match. Rodger & Gabby COS

Chris Any V8 Engine used in the era of The Sweptline Series is Engineered Designed for an Center Dumping Exhaust Manifold on both sides. This keeps the exhaust heat away from The Starter and it makes it easier to remove The Starter. Only The Plymouth and Dodge Car Division got the A-318 with an rear...
