Well, Here is my latest project. I had done a considerable amount of work and contributed some funds into my nephews truck "Power Dragon" and this is my reimbursement. The idea is to add a mildly built 318, get the rest of the truck mechanically sound and cleaned up a bit. All the little crap that is worn out, missing or broken, brakes, hoses, radio, etc.
Wont get to it for a few weeks but I wanted to start a thread.
Right now it "Runs" issue with fuel delivery, does move on its own and may actually drive, has not been driven in many years though.
At some point a 85 model year engine, trans NP208 transfer-case and front axle assembly was installed into this.
just starting to learn what I'm going to be needing. I hope I can lean on you all in this forum for assistance.

back in my junkyard ownership days, i had a 73 powerwagon that originally came with a 318. was a super easy deal to swap a 440 into it. when i bought the house i live in back in 1984, i sold the truck to pay for the paperwork required. the same family still owns it today, and it still retains the same drivetrain i installed all those years ago. i was told the truck still runs like a bear !
