Why would you take the time to reserach this like you did and spend the money needed to build a cheap cast piston short block when you know that it could fail at speed and end up hurting you or the car or both I wouldn't do that Build a decent short block and use it to get educated on this technology and proceed on The short block is a low-mileage (35k) from a 74 New Yorker that I did yard work in trade for the motor and transmission years ago. There was no "building" done so to speak, just a cam and deep oil pan from when I was going to go a different direction with the motor. If it blows up, it blows up(got another motor on stand by anyways). Im not trying to make 1000+hp to the ground, just something fun on a soft tune up that is different from 90% of the mopars you see and can still make my 30mile commute to work and live on the fantastic 91pump out here.

I don't know who told you the stock manifold won't work, but for a mild build they most definitely can.
As mentioned mine makes around 800-825hp on stock 1 7/8" outlet manifolds. For a mild build and low RPM they are a perfect fit for the job. I was told they wouldnt work due to blocking spark plugs and clearing the steering box. But im really happy you posted on this, my brother is impatiently waiting to see your turbo kits come together. (I think it was you doing them at least. Always told him "theres an ugly B body that runs like a damn Animal with boost through a 360" now after watching what videos he could find he wants to go the boosted route also lol. Killer car man. What size piping would you reccomend for the hotside? I was think 2.5" but not too sure.

The mighty 318 was installed in a 81 1/2 4x4,Dodge. It would would win most uglytruck contests. I got the truck for free, the 318 brand new Napa rebuild cost me $150. The GT-45 turo was $249 delivered to my door. Well under $1000 in everything so the whole thing was EXPENDABLE if something went BOOM. The motor made 160hp cheated up on my dyno with the stock, manifolds,exhaust pipe, and factory 2bbl. With a 800 thermoquad and 24 lbs of boost it made 536hp&586ftlbs@4800. The hp&torque were still climbing at 4800. I did O-ring the block and install copper headgaskets. Dave Thats some huge numbers out of a 318. Might convince my friend to keep his in favor of a bigblock now. Gonna try and get every mopar a turbo now.

while that manifold might fit in there, are you factoring the 3-4" of space you need to get a u bend in there to get to free space to route over to the turbo? I had no such room in my Fury when I looked at that and I tried logs, HP's, 62-64 logs, and even 1958 logs. I used the RV manifolds upside down https://picasaweb.google.com/117601696089323739884/TurboFury?authuser=0&feat=directlink

I'm going to offer some advise about part selections on motor that will be driven hard at WOT at speeds in excess of the posted local speed limit, DON"T CUT CORNERS, EVER I've been very lucky in my racing career when it comes to breaking parts at WOT, I haven't bent any sheet metal, yet I've been sideways at or above 85 MPH in 3rd gear in someone elses gear grease from a broken stick shift tranny in front of me, I've broken rods and lock the motor up at 115 MPH and had the car start to go sideways and got lucky by getting it into nuetral before it flipped on its lid I've also seen freinds hurt and destroy there race cars because of broken parts, if you race long enough you will break parts, the cheaper ones break easier It's your choice

Very clean, keep us in the loop when the 470 gets slid in. And your self described love or hate green paint really gives the car a sleepy look that I like. The rake is also killer don't change it. If I were too change anything? I think I would add the GTX flip open gas cap and on a set of Crager S/S mags too complete the retro day two look. Very cool car! But you next vid should be a side shot so we can see some of those rubber molecule's wafting out of the wheel wells into the breeze..
