"A hooker with a chipped tooth" --I just thought that needed repeating. I can't read it with out smiling.

Oil pan I used was just a stock center sump oil pan. No modifications needed. Center sump pans can be a little tricky to find but they are out there.

Rule number one of selling - Never start out asking less than you want.

Saving money is expensive.

1980 Dodge Diplomat Freshly rebuilt 318 engine with forged pistons, 360 heads, 4 barrel intake, new carb,distributor, alternator, water pump, headers, all new internals, etc... You get the picture. Rebuilt 727 trans and 8 3/4 rear w/ 3:23 sure grip. New suspension, E-body leaf springs with firm...

I have some left over parts from my 318 build and its time to clean out the garage. 318 block, standard bore, good shape, removed due to bad bearings and crank. Also have the bad crankshaft, will need turned. Connecting rods, still attached to pistons. New cast stock replacement pistons .30...

mine were.

manual steering and power steering have different pitman arms.

I'd trade my Dip for it.

I would buy a new roll and toss the union. I'm sure many have used them with out problems. But not on my car.

I removed mine in one piece and bent the new ones the same before installing them. Worked well and much easier then trying to bend them under the car. Left the ends a few inches longer, and cut to fit after lines were installed. The way the factory ran them is probably the best way, you don't...

Your meter is just finding ground through the panel, base, or mounting screws. Its a very weak ground that's why you only get 30 volts. Yes, dampness can assist this. With out the meter there is no bleed through. One thing to remember about electricity - you can't see it, and it bites! Good luck.

I drained the oil and water from a slant, then put a brick on the gas pedal. Went in the house and ate lunch and when I came back out it was still turning 5000 rpms.

Thanks Captain, that confirms my suspicions. I just ordered the correct one from Jegs for under $10. That's one less thing on my list.

I was getting ready to start up the mighty 318 for the first time today and poured in 6 quarts of oil and it did not even register on the dipstick. I suspect that I may have the wrong one, it is 18" long not counting the handle. If someone would be so kind as to measure theirs and let me know...

New power for an old friend. Will be dropping in the new engine soon and would like to install the headers before putting it in. Has anyone done this or am I better off dropping the engine in then putting the headers on? I've done some measuring and it looks close.

Don't know about those springs. I used XHD E body springs and Firm Feel hangers.

Thought this was pretty cool

WOW, You guys are fantastic, I did not expect all this info. I found a set of manifolds but know that headers make a big difference in performance so I still haven't decided which way to go.

I'm back and forth between headers and manifolds. I may have to take a closer look at headers. How much of a pain is it to get them on in an M-body?

The magnum ones interchange? I did not know that. This could make my search much easier, thank you.

western Pa 16024. I fear the shipping costs and I'm looking locally as well. I shipped some heads last year thru post office and I think it was around $60. What do you want for them and would you be willing to ship if I can't find any closer?

Anyone have a set of exhaust manifolds for a 318 they would like to sell?

Unfortunetly I'm having some issues with the transmission and the engine will have to come out to repair trans.. It is a lot of work to get that Hemi back in there and I'm not sure I'm up to doing it again. It has been a lot of fun to drive and a lot of fun to see the looks on peoples faces. Who...

I sat down and figured out what I have into the car and what its worth to me. Car was stripped down to bare metal and repainted, I am not a professional painter and this is not a show car paint job. (also not everyone likes this color). The idea behind this rebuild was not to build a show car...
