I believe Jeep was on the other side, IIRC. I snagged mine from a Dakota in a wrecking yard here..but I understand that's not quite as easy based on where your location shows. I would think though if Jeep starters work for Rams, then they should work for an LA block. Mine bolted up the same, I...

I put magnum heads on my 318, with a summit 6900 cam, headers, Summit (Holley) 600 cfm carb and it was night and day difference. Down the line I also swapped in 3.55s and a sure grip into my 8.25, and it also needed a bit more converter, but it was rowdy compared to the stock AHB I started with...

Good stuff, and congratulations!!

Yeah, that's it. I had quite a few names for it at the time, but couldn't remember the actual name.

Going off of memory, there are a couple Allen screws holding a piece for the AC onto the firewall. I had all the bolts for the box off but couldn't figure that little AC piece out until I got angry and used the hammer/bar the beat it to death..then I saw the bolt head..haha

I was out in the garage and remembered I had a couple spare pushrods in a bucket from when I did this swap..so I snapped a picture of one that has the sizing. I also went back through some archives and found the links I was given. Summit Racing SUM-1457650 Summit Racing™ Chromoly Pushrods |...

As one who put magnum heads on a 318..its is not a waste of time. Sure, a 5.9 would be better, but A. Hes already got the 318 heads. B. There's more to swap over if you swap to a 5.9. C. (Prefaced..I dont like bench racing) the combo I had was stupid cheap, and took an 18 second car down to...

Man..that was a blast from the past..lol

If it were going to be a sleeper, I'd paint it whatever the color the engine was for the year of the car.

Whoa, where has time gone. Glad to see you're back at it!

Just finished watching the new episode of Vice Grip Garage. As someone who had been in the F/M/J arena for 15 years prior to selling my Diplomat and pulling my next project out of a barn..I was extra intrigued. It's a long watch, but a good one. Hopefully there'll be more to come-not just for...

Yeah, I remember the shock when it sold to Allpar (and the subsequent upset feelings when they added a simple subsection to keep up with current stuff). At that point I felt it took a pretty decent hit, but then when Allpar sold..I agree, it became trash. It's unfortunate too, because the...

I know some of you on here used to frequent Farley's page (dippy.org), but I logged on earlier and noticed that there hasn't been a new post since May. I can't imagine at that rate how much longer it'd stay afloat, so I'd suggest pulling as much info before it gets lost. Sad to say as when I...

Haha..sounds similar to my dealing. I got pulled over driving my AHB and asked to step out of the vehicle because a car matching the description of mine had just driven off without paying for fuel, and it was called in right as I drove by a sheriff car. I looked at the officer and calmly stated...

From the sounds of it after it came back from the trans shop..the ujoint caps were the cause all along. Didn't get around to updating this as it was probably back for two weeks then was sold..but to make a long story short, when we grabbed a new Ujoint to replace the caps that fell out, the...
