i think im gonna cry :salut everyone may now call me caughin sneezin may work too :lol: thanks to everyone who help. nice pics! to conclude this, I never found a 3x2 other than a six pack, but those use holley carbs which look a little too big and ARE too big for my motor. I went down to Mooneyes la...

can you use 340 heads on a 318? is there any advantages? What do the letters mean?

yea son haha i agree with rh62.

Wow thanks for the advice guys! I didnt know that book exsisted, but I'll pick one up later today! I did look into just doing a motor swap, but like MountainMoparRobin said, different is cool...similiar to the site heading, dare to be different. For those of you that have seen the truck you may unde...

Rodger, You seem to know your stuff. Just to get me going on this preject, what does your ideal rebuild consist of? Any tricks or shortcomings of the 318 that have a fix? Any part manufacturers that you might recommend? I was looking for a driver, but hell I kinda feel left out when all of my buddie...

Hey guys i have a few quick questions to throw at ya. I'm looking to rebuild my 318 and I need advice on which direction to go. I need to run stock exhaust manifolds due to the front suspension clearances, and I was told not to run a cam becuase of this. Is this true? Also what else would you recomm...

Yea, 8-1 seems a little gody and overkill. Ideally I'm looking for a 3x2 stromberg set up. I found some six pack manifolds but I dont really like the huge holley carbs.

So there is an offey manifold that will fit? What does 8-1 mean? I search for 318 or offenhauser or mopar intake on ebay and I cant seem to find one. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Its really not so much about performance (unlike the mopar tradition :) What I'm trying to go for here is a bad @#% no-hood rat rod looking engine compartment. I am really fond of the sbc 3x2 stromberg look, although I still have some attachment to my mopar motor. Right now I have a edelbrock manifo...

Are there any manifolds out there from other makes or models that will fit a 318? I looking for a 3x2 or something rat rod-ish and so far my only option is to use the 2x2 to 4bbl adapter. Any ideas? Thanks!

Roger, typically most of us just weld 1x1 solid bar to our frames. The old school way was to just drag your frame. A few of my buddies with body dropped trucks (channeled, or when you raise the frame higher into the floor to the body actually touches when laid down) actually drag body. Dumb in conce...

Thanks for all the compliments! Thats what pretty much keeps me going :) As for the questions... MountainMoparRobin - Yes theyre still 15's. Theyre going to get chromed soon and Im, going to run some 670 firestone bias ply tires with 3 inch white walls. ...the OG way lol Seabee - Yes there is a name...

Im finally done with the back and front suspension. It's on juice, the pumps arent in yet, but the whole thing will be stainless hardline. So far it lays body, so next up is to bodydrop the bed. Ill keep ya posted. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/coffincustoms/DODGE/LOWENOUGH.jpg http://i4.pho...

Hey guys, I have a 69 318 and I'm switching the oil pan to a rear sump and in doing so, I realize the mopar performance pan I received does not have the little holes for the front and rear rubber gasget mount tabs. I need new gasgets but I'm not sure what year to say at the parts store. Any ideas on...

Sorry, my computer froze, how do i delete duplicate posts?

Hey guys this is out of my truck, time to go to mustang 2 so its all yours!

I saw someone taking about a rear sump oil pan a while back. I just got my mustange 2 stuff and when looking at the crossmember and steering rack, I dont think it will fit with my 318's oil pan. Is there such a beast as a rear sump and do they change any engine dynamics? Thanks!

How difficult is it to replace the transmission dipstick seal... if there is one. I noticed a slight leak today and I'm debating on whether I can handle it myslelf or should it go in to the shop?

Hello all, I have been piecing together my front end as you can tell from my other posts. I am curious as to how many of you have used a fatmanfab crossmember or kit. I was quoted $570 for the crossmember today and I swear I heard someone get it for 400 here. Any ideas? Also how easy are they to ins...

Im getting a crossmember from fatmanfab.com they are awesome. I would actually go with a full kit with them but I am going to be using hydraulics so I wont need a few of the parts. Im going to be ordering the all seperate and building my own.
