With swapping to aluminum heads is there anything else I would need to change?

HAHA. I'll bet it would. I'm thinking more along the lines of 20-30hp increase. A little more torque. $1000 budget range.

So this is a basically stock 318 in my 1973 Roadrunner. Lots of replacement parts but not many upgrades outside of Intake, Carb and Headman Headers. I'm not looking for a lot more power but still wish I could get a little more out of her. adding 3.55 gears made a pretty big difference. But...

Just swapped the highway gears I had (2.73 i think it said) in my 73 RR to 3.55. I highly recommend. After reading several posts in this forum of guys who had made the swap I gotta say it made a pretty big difference. My little 318 went from a decent little cruiser to a cruiser with a little...

I'm having a hard time finding seatbelt mounting hardware for my Roadrunner. The origional hardware was missing when I bought it. I've bought two different sets that were supposed to fit but didn't. Anyone have any luck replacing theirs and do you happen to know a part number? Thank you in...

1973 work in progress. Just had the trans rebuilt. 318 with a few upgrades.

I tried to find these. looks like they dont make them anymore? But I did find the Hooker Competition Headers on Summits site. Model 5901-1HKR. I wonder if theres much difference? They also have a pair of Patriot Headers, H8206-B that seems like they should fit my setup. Are patriots any good?

Hey everybody. I need to replace my headers on the 318, 1973 Road Runner. I bought a set but the power steering is in the way. Anybody out there have any suggestions on what might fit? Thanks in advance! Nick

If you've been following my progression at all heres a little update on how things are going. With a lot of help from this forum! Quick history of the car - It was found in storage by a coworker who went to buy another car. The guy would only sell it if he took the "other one". The "other...

Thanks everybody!!!

And carb and intake too. Having a little trouble figuring out kickdown linkage but I wanted to celebrate the wheels!

Good and bad news. So the manifold and carb were installed on my 318 today. It’s running great. Now the not great news. There’s a little trans slippage. I believe it has to do with the kickdown linkage and spring. I need a spring for the kickdown but I dont have the proper plate for it...

Thank you so much everybody for your help!

Installing a new intake manifold tomorrow. The new Edelbrock manifold, leaves a portion of this “horseshoe” shaped hole exposed. What is this for? Did I get the wrong manifold? It’s a 318 on a 1973 roadrunner.

Really nice! Black with a red stripe?

Thank you. me too! Now I just gotta get it running.

I’m just starting the process of working on my recently purchased RR. It was parked for 30-ish years in climate controlled storage. Body and frame seem to be pretty rust free. Surface rust in trunk but seems pretty solid. But tons of work to do getting her road ready. Let’s see your Road...

Welcome neighbor!

yea, its been a rough few months. Mom passed from thyroid cancer mid December and Dad passed from brain tumors late March. After mom passed we think Dad just kinda gave up the fight. Dad loved cars, so it seemed only fitting that I try and get one back on the road for him.

i saw t i saw those. I can't find them in stock anywhere. If youve got one, Ive got money. lol
