Now that you mention it, I recall reading that about losing compression too! Haha. Weird how things come back. When it comes to 318/340/360 talk I get a bit confused and its likely because I am trying to learn too much at once. I have decided to get it running with the Lean Burn, pending it doesn't require any substantial investment. Then I will carefully plan swapping it out with a thought out system. It would seem inevitable that if I am to lose the Lean Burn I will need to swap in a new carb and intake... and ignition as well?
I was at the wrecker but they only had a '78 Cordoba with a Lean Burn. Nothing to poach. When there I tried to look at wheels but am unsure the offset of the Mirada wheels - so he wasn't really able to show me without knowing what I needed.
The wheel thing sidetracked me and I totally forgot to ask about the Edelbrock intake though - DOH! On my way out tho he told me of a wrecker who has a lot of Mopar stuff I will contact tomorrow and see what he may have based on my list of things to find.
Factory wheels should be the same (bolt pattern, offsets, most likely width, but not sure about the last) between the B Bodies and our cars. The styling will be different, but if you like them, they will fit. I personally think the wheels on our cars (either the 5 on 5s, or the snowflakes) are the best looking wheels for either our cars or the B Bodies, and ours are aluminum alloy, not steel like the Ralleye or Magnum 500s.
