Those engines mostly came with Carter BBD ( Ball-ball dual) but I have seen Strombergs. I will look more closely at the pictures in the upcoming days.

For the accelerator pump & all carb parts.

I would say red too. That puts it 61-later.

Mopar used Silver, Gold, Turquoise in other years & applications.

You're doing good with the uploading of pictures. But I can't tell from that shot what T-case it might be. Appears to be missing most of the parking brake components.

Didn’t the earlier poly have a third bolt near the middle of the valve cover also?

yes some did.

Bucky

Can you tell what color the block is?

S-318 comes up as 1962

This guy, Mike's Carburetor Parts, seems to be knowledgeable & have anything I have ever needed. Fast service too.

As I understand it, the 318 was around from about 1965 to 1975, approximately. Are you saying this engine was used in trucks only up to 67-68? That would narrow it down quite a bit. My understanding is the only twin stick transfer case that was available at the time from factory is the Dana 18. Is ...

Poly 318 were used until about 67-68 I think Canada trucks were last to have them.
Twin stick transfer cases were used by Dodge through 68. Those typically had the parking brake on the rear output.
I suspect someone stuck the whole combo from a W series truck into your jeep.

^^^ I am needing a new inline filter on my W600 318. Also I need a new fuel pump. Saddens me that even Carters & probably Holley too now are made in China. The $30 parts store pumps go bad extremely fast.

Bucky

Yes balance is the same for 318,383 & forged 440. But as Dodgeboykim mentioned the bell AND the starter would be different on those hydraulic clutch units. From what I recall the 383 "hydraulic bell" starter is hard to come by but they can be rebuilt or fabricated using various parts. I think it's t...

When you placed the transmission in Park (I assume the truck is an automatic) outside your garage, I am surprised that it remained stationary & didn't try to roll away since it had no drive shaft. Does the pinion (the part inside the hole on the front of the rear differential housing) appear to be d...

What year did dodge switch from the la motors to the 4.7 in the full size trucks?

LA became Magnum around 92/93, Magnum gave away to 5.7 Hemi about 2002. I have no idea what followed after.

Bucky

^^^Yes I used them for the clutch on my 75 W600 NP540.

Bucky

I would contact a suspension lift company such as Skyjacker & see what they have. One of the components of lift systems 4" & greater is longer flexible brake hoses. I know you don't need the extra length but it should have the correct ends. I also would suspect that 4x4/offroad specialists would be ...

Some guys over on the Ramcharger Central site have done the Holley Sniper. Not on a Swepty but on 70's & 80's carbed engines like 318, 360 & 440.

You may be able to read up on what bugs they had to work out & how pleasing the final results are.

I personally haven't tried FI.

Bucky

Does your coil get warm with the key OFF? Maybe something is causing it to have some voltage all the time, thus drawing the battery down.

Bucky

Not sure what exact setup you have, I believe your truck originally had a points ignition & now has electronic. Anyways on most Mopar ignitions of that era the coil is supposed to get 12v during cranking then only about half that when running. Too much voltage & yes the coil will burn up. But I am n...

I'm about to just start going through and replacing every wire under the hood at this point.

That's standard procedure for most Chrysler Corp built vehicles. What the factory didn't screw up the previous owners did.
