Group, I know a few of you out there have been working and modifing your engines. After reading all I could find on the engine, talking and learning from hands...
The way I see it is this... The 318 was an everyday workhorse in the cars that used it. The staple engine of the fleet, the one that those who eschewed a six...
I've loaded up a number of pics of the Phoenix in its raw state, along with pics of the previous owners and the dealership where it was bought. Hope you like...
Group, This project started with a 1964 block & head castings. All the blueprint specs will be recorded and made available at the end of the project. The block...
Man, you guys and your Polys...!!! You are all making me feel bad for getting rid of mine! Maybe I'll have to scour the junkyards in Michigan for one, and...
Forgive me if I'm being a bit naive, but wouldn't a regular 360 crank out of an LA block give you the same result? I mean in conjunction with a bore to 4"... ...
Just hunting through older posts and found this... $600 is a lot for pistons, if you ask me. I was looking at pistons on the Campbell Enterprises site and a...
You're ahead of Ben with yours, but he'll soon going down this track... It might be a good thing if we both put findings into this thread. Maybe we can do...
The bellhousing for the LA engine will do the job, though I think Ben told me one hole has to be filed a bit or something. Yes, the standard transmission in...
The reason the valve relief is in two places on ecah piston is because the pin is offset. If you only had one relief, you'd have to have different pistons for...

Unfortunately my engine is no more...I had to part-out the car, as well as some engine parts. I've got a '68 Chevy C10 waiting for me in Michigan. I still...
Good point! I'm not a V8 man, my experiences are with inline engines and I wouldn't have thought of that. So ideally, there should be different cutouts for the...
That could be a worry for us... do you know where the metal should be added? We're not allowed to add metal under the rules in the class in which the car will...
Not to say there are no gains to be had from just cutting, but he said along the rear wall near the valve guide would need to be built up to to give the...
Ideally, yes. But why? That extra valve relief is not going to hurt anything. When you're building the engine you should have a target compression ratio and...
No, it's considered the same as adding metal to put epoxy fillers in there... This is all interesting, and we do have a head we can cut up. What we might do,...
Without referring to an engine man or anything, I would think that the cutouts interfere with swirl, to start with. So you would reduce this. Also it's...
It cuts down on piston slap. Here's something I dug up real quick on a search engine: "Piston pin offset is designed into a piston to prevent excessive wear to...

If you really want to suss this out... get the best 318 Poly block you can find (sonic testing) and then bore as far as you can go... maybe 4.03 or something....
