Bought a sweet low miler 318 from a 91 pickup. I want to put this in my 75 powerwagon, i plan on using my intake and carb. Does this engine have a fuel pump essentric on it, will the one from my old smallblock bolt on to that roller cam if it doesnt have one already???

no,it will have a short nose cam

you can get a extintion/adaptor to run mech fuel pump from Hughes for it

if you swap in any retro roller came order it with long nose

I used a lunati voodoo roller cam with long nose in my 88-318 with a set of the comp 901-16 springs

they drop on with heads on engine and use stock seal/retainers

OH! FYI,it will have the oil thru roller lifters and hollow push rods

so thats one step closer to swaping on mag heads for a pre-mag roller cam hybred in the future

it most likly oil thru the lifters/PR and thru the heads/rockers like the older LA engines

mine does and so did the 1990 parts engine I had

Not to high-jack the thread...but I just took the eccentric off my '79 parts motor and put it on my '90 Roller cam. The T cover had a block off plate where the mech pump would go, so I just removed it and put in the pump. Are the '91's different? Do I need an extension on the cam?

no some had a long nose cam also on the tbi motors

must have been a early one,my 1990 cam on the shelf is a short one though

never say never with mopar,they used what they had on hand to use up all the parts in stock

like 6-pack rods in motor homes

all magnum engine 92-up have a short one
