A 318 is a great choice for a cruiser engine!!
I wonder what kinda cab that is. I noticed the Elkin,NC on the door and I realized that I don't live far from where that truck came from!
That's cool! I appreciate all kinds of old tin but been Mopar for years. I'd love to have an old school HEMI for my '41 Dodge truck but my 318...
Im in Wilkes county,NC.
Put whatever you want in it because it's yours...but since you are here asking for opinion, I will give you one. Caddy power or an Olds rocket....
Love the truck and love the fact that it has a HEMI in it!! A '39 Plymouth grille would be TITS on that truck!!
413.??!! You will stand out and be different!! It will be cool because I consider the 413 a traditional engine. I have a BB Mopar in my Newport...
Yet again...everybody talks about the SBC being bashed yet probably 3 of 5 cars here have a SBC in them. The solution is to do what makes you...
Thanks guys! The swap was extremely cheap to. I used 1970's Dodge truck motor mounts and kept flipping them around till it lined up to the...
Well...it's about done. The starter is no longer an issue but believe it or not, the bigger starter fits better because of the design of it after...
I don't know why anybody would diss on the poly 318. It doesn't cost that much to build over an LA 318. Much of the LA 318 stuff will interchange...
If you were close to NC. I'd cut you a real good deal on one....
That would be very cool as far as engine options go! People stating that there is much SBC hate makes me laugh- considering that it seems that...
I call it....BAD ASS!!:D
I really like that because it's not something you see everyday. A Mopar engine in a Rambler is just cool!! 318's are great engines that can be had...
Cool!! I like it! Needs to stay Mopar powered if ya gonna rod it!
I am 29 and am on the fence regarding this subject. I have a year of college left and can really get back into projecting after that. I don't sell...
Welcome from....N.C!!
Welcome from Wilkesboro,NC...
If you really want a two door and the car you have isn't TOO far gone, you can always get a two door donor in bad or "to far gone" condition and...
29 and will turn 30 in December. '41 Dodge truck, '70 Charger,'71 Demon,'71 Duster, '65 Chrysler Newport Coupe, '69 Barracuda, '48 Dodge D24...
How can a SBC be all that hated when thousands of people use the things???
Everything I have is Mopar powered. I like being different... I want to someday build an old GMC or Chevy with a Cadillac or Olds BB.
I had no idea these even existed!!! How long did they make them??
That's cool! You need an Olds V8 to go in it for the ultimate in cool factor!!
I am 29 and drive the wheels off of a '65 Chrysler as in "daily". I didn't bother hooking up a choke and I can start it just fine. I once met...
Hell no on the SBC....yawn... Take the bumpers off and slam it. 3" chop. Tinkered slant 6 with Offy dual 1bbl intake and a header. Be different...
318 was set in yesterday...Mini starter still hits BUT barely. It's kinda of a pricey option but I think a clockable mini starter will fix the...
Mopar or Cummins power are the only REAL options! :D
Do you remember what you did to get by with starter/steering box issue? I am facing the same headache in '41 Dodge with an LA small block right...
