Thanks for the info. May look into this as my 7.25 isn't going to last long behind the 318 that's making more than stock power.

No intention of doing it wrong lol.

Wow this went way further than I expected it to. Lots of info on here now.

It's a driving project. I have a controller already on my shelf (from a project that is no more) and either way I'll need at least a 100A alternator to be able to install my amp and sub. I have a 4bbl airgap intake, 1406 carb, new ignition all on my shelf as well as new poly motor and tranny...

Yes I recall that episode, just said up to 30hp for belt driven to cover the range. My clutch fan is in very sad shape, when I turn it by hand it makes disturbing sounds and when the car is running it wines bad. I haven't had any issues with coolant temp as of yet but keeping an eye on it...

My clutch fan is dying (half of the time it sounds like a supercharger wine) is the big reason why I'm looking at just going electric fans on top of the fact that belt driven fans can rob up to 30hp easily and an e fan typically only robs 1-2hp via alternator and on a 130hp engine that's a big...

Looks good. I may have fun making something work.

Got pics, I was thinking GM 3 wire alt but hadn't had time to RIP into my car to see how much headache it would be

Funny you mentioned that fan, I have one in the garage (2001 cougar same fan) that I forgot about (technically it's a spare for my girls car but that looks like a winner to me. Been trying to figure out a better alternator already but not sure what's out there, I know I'll want around 100A as...

Thinking about going to electric fan setup on my 84 fury. I measured and looks like the core on my rad is 26"x18" and wondering if anybody had found a junkyard efan setup that fits well.

That's unreal.

Thanks. Any idea what my rear axle gearing is off this?

Wow that's crazy the compression was that off. How far down the bore was the pistons.

Here's a better pic

Was trying to decode this but couldn't find everything. Still not sure what rear gears I have.

Trying to figure out the paint code % name for my 84 Gran Fury. Any info would be great

If I do turbo it later on it would most likely be draw through carb setup and only like 5psi. Running a little rich and setting up a timing controller on pump 91 gas. I know there's some guys running 10 psi on the stock bottom end 318s on some of the turbo forums with good luck and they are...

You have any idea the official cc on 308 casting heads?

3 days a week I'm up way too early but the rest of the week not so much.

Was using a calculator but with such up in the air specs it's hard to calculate the compression. Iirc the range was anywhere from 7.6:1 up to 8.4:1

I was looking at those yesterday. I was trying to figure out what my compression would be like with stock pistons, thin head gaskets and the 308 casting heads.

Thanks. I'm trying to be very budget minded on this as I've way over spent in the past and also built engines that were not as street friendly as they needed to be. My little 318 runs great but has a serious lack of power (130hp I think it was rated whis is the same as the 2.2L in the Cavalier...

I'm trying to plan my engine hop up and was trying to figure out what I'm starting with. There's the possibility I may toss a turbo on it down the road so I'm not trying to get high compression. I'm thinking about trying to locate 308 casting heads and using a "RV" cam (basically the same as a...

My googling around has left me thinking that you could RIP open 3x 318 engines all "the same" and have 3 radically different compression ratios. I've seen piston can be 0.2 to 0.8 below deck at tdc and where there's as much as 8cc difference in combustion chambers on the same heads. Only thing I...

Looking for info. I have an 84 Fury 318 2bbl and was trying to find out what the combination chamber cc is on stock heads.
