Last week I posted a message referring to the One-of-a-kind items I do for MOPAR groups and clubs. Some of you indicated an interest in our products and I...
I will be picking up the motor(65 318w/727) in a couple weeks. The truck is a 2wd short box. I already have a 8 1/4 rear axle with 3.91 gears in it. Biggest...
Greetings fellow Mopar Maniacs! I'm Dan, hail from east Texas & I've been a Mopar fanatic since I was 9 years old. The couple who lived next door to us were...
Welcome and good luck. I'm definitely a poor boy too. But just get a bit at a time and eventually you'll have some real goodies together. My ride is a '64...
I love my wifes 1966 belvedere to michigan from oregon and drove on 6 cylinders for years and no one knew until she met me and I was a gm cutlass boy but her...
Hi, Dan; Welcome to the group. Did you say that you had a '60 D100 with factory air conditioning? I have never heard of such a critter. Must be extremely...
Hello everyone.... My name is Gary Evans - a Poly owner since 2003, when my wife and I bought a 1967 Dodge Travco motorhome with the 318 'premium' poly V8....
Gary, Welcome to the Poly mailist! The more you know about the power potential of the 318 Poly motor the decision to "build" one will be evident. This is a...
Bear in mind, Dan, that your Poly will have a different crank and block to most folks' here... 8-bolt flange further from the back of the block and a different...
Strangely, I saw a similar thing at a recent car show... a 318 Poly out of a truck stuffed into an Aussie Valiant utility, VE model, the same body front as the...
hey guys, ive got a 318 poly out of a 1966 fury III that is going up for sale in south carolina . all block work has been done and is ready to be assembled...

You could in fact put everything you needed under the dash, using this picture: http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/318poly/photos/view/95a2?b=7 Relays etc....
Thank you for the warm welcome! Let me give a little rundown of what I have and where I am trying to get to. That will provide background for more specific...
About the only aftermarket pistons I have seen are the dished type and are about 7 or 7.7/1 comp.. Gary Pavlovich, glpavlovich@..., can give you a hand...
Hi Gary. I can't give you much advice on the engine but have you ever looked into getting an overdrive unit or swapping for a tranny with overdrive. That would...
Gary, I have also found a late model engine fitted with hydraulic lifters, so they did come ex-factory like that. Everything else will be pretty normal....
I have looked into an overdrive. Dodge fitted a 4 speed auto to their newer trucks, but they are not strong enough for RV usage. Gear Vendors is another option...
Interesting. Does that affect the cam grind (hydraulic vs. mechanical lifters?) I see there a few companies offering cams these days, but I am guessing they...
The crankshaft and bellhousing on my motor (casting date 4.15.66) is the same as any garden variety LA motor. I was able to pull the poly and bolt in a 1994...
The SU thing is a real outsider, but I reckon someone should try it. Have a look at a Rover 3500 engine, or an early Range Rover V8, you'll see that they have...
My pistons were in the $600 range. I got 9.5/1 pistons wthat were relieved enough for .65" lift as I recall.Seems like everything I did was $600. Except the...
He's not an Aussie, Rich... we don't have those Dodge Motorhomes here, we don't have anything with Magnum V8s here (to my knowledge) etc. I've got shipping to...
Hi, the 5 bolt patern is very standard ,it goes back to the 1920's and was found on most medium duty trucks. I have a '75 Dodge Travco and it has the original...
