I have a '72 HP block that all of that would fit right into. Hopefully somebody nearer to you can use it. That is some good stuff, mainly the crank, balancer and the windage tray, the cam may be a good one too. All that stuff is getting harder to find. To me there is nothing like original and...

Don't throw any of it away. If you don't want it, offer it up for sale at reasonable price, to somebody who needs it.

Please tell us what transmission/axle combo you took that off of.

Sorry, no pictures. Both hands were busy. It was old school cruise/romp, like before cell phones...

Just a reminder to everyone that hasn't taken there car out in a while. I hadn't taken my RT out for a ride in a couple of months, and I went for a cruise around town this morning and wow! Started right up and runs smooth. I stopped at the gas station for 10 gallons of super and got one...

See what is available in the aftermarket, as far as replacement sheet METAL. I would stay away from fiberglass.

Cast crank is externally balanced, so you will have to have it balanced with the flywheel and correct harmonic balancer. I have heard they are good up to 500 HP.

Here we go... there is a bunch of threads on this one. Lots of opinions...My A-833 has Lucas 80-90 gear oil.

How much oil pressure would you have without the short spring? What makes your oil pressure so high? Just curious. My 440 runs around 80 psi with a high volume pump. Thanks

Strange question. Make them fit. 1 inch sounds too big to me. Mine are around 5/8" I think.

Why not? Is there something wrong with sealed power? For a stock 318, any stock bearing will be fine.

Change the filter to a Wix and fill it up with VR1 20w-50 (or equivalent) and get it warm and see what the oil pressure is. 10 LBS per 1000 RPM is the minimum standard. You want at least 50 lbs at 5000 rpm.

If its an automatic car, you will need a floor hump and a set of pedals as well. A matched set out of a Charger would be ideal, especially if everything works good. The clutch may still be good. You will probably need new front and rear seals as well. You will need the correct shifter, depending...

Us kids hate it when you fight. Let's agree that you are both super smart and helpful to us all and move on.

Welcome. Lets see that '68.
