Can you guys please post some pics, specs and performance/mileage of your street rod motors.

Also, is there anyone making any aftermarket street rod style parts for the LA motors?

seems like a decent market to do since there are becoming more popular.

Mine is a 392 hemi, hydraulic cam 290 adv duration, 2x4 600cfm eldelbrock carbs progressive linkage. Performs well on the street, mileage I do not even think about. The motor is in a 40 ford.

stock Dakota 318. Picture is from 97 when I put the body on the chassis. Still haven't got much more done. It's not pretty, but I hope that it moves the car and gets good MPG. The 40 should be lighter, and with 3.91 and OD should be able to get off the line and cruise down the road. When I checked into speed equipment, a few told me that you had to take it easy if you keep the stock computer. free up the exhaust some, maybe a bit bigger on the cam, and a bigger throttle body, and you are close to the edge. Of course, that was years ago, and there have been many changes since. I figure stock it will be enough for at least 95% of my driving.

Wow...where's all the rest of the rod engines??
Here's one I got to cracking on last weekend.
Very cheap build. It's a 1984 318 from a diplomat.
We left the bottom end stock and inspected everything real good. Bearings looked great and the cylinders barely had any wear at all. Got a polished weiand intake for $75 from a member here and a $50 mopar '68 340 4speed cam (450/455 lift),
Then I put on a set of shaved 360 heads, will also feature a set of headers I got for free! Check out the vintage weiand valve covers I traded for. Other tidbits are a 600 holley and a double roller timing chain Check out the air cleaner! Hubcap style

I picked this up today and was hoping it would fit a 360/ 318 but am told it will not. Its a 273 dual 4 manifold. Now I am considering a simple 273 if I can find one cheap enough.

I am still trying to decide. If I go with a small block, I was some unique stuff on it. I would like a 5.7 HEMI but they are just too much. I dont need a big motor, just something reliable for the 38 Plymouth that will fit under the hood.

Dave............I think that manifold will fit the 273 and/or the poly 318 engines and not the newer 318/360s.

If you are selling it let me know.

No specs yet. Just started mocking up. Poly 318 in a 40 Desoto.

Re: Please post pics of your Street rod motors! - 02/23/09 06:18 AM

It won't fit a Poly, as the Poly's are I-E-I-E-I-E-I-E and the Wedges are E-I-I-E-E-I-I-E. There was a bolt hole issue with the early 273's (different angle of the bolt holes or something like that) but there is a good chance that with little to no modification it would work on a 318 head as well. That said, if you really want to use it, I would consider something along the lines of hotroddave40's 318 build...but you can choose how "economical" you want to make it as far as cam/carbs are concerned. A couple 450cfm vacuum secondary 4-bbls would be a max effort, but a 302 headed 318 is capable of some decent snort without breaking the bank.

Just a thought...

Here is my 1966 440 mill in the 36 Dodge coupe.It has a Hughes cam 538 lift don't remember the duration at the momement,ported 452s,9.5 squeeze and of course the six pac.Nice running combo not sure of the mileage.When I go on out of state trips I pull the 4.10s out and slip the 2.56 gears in the 8 3/4,that helps in between gas stops.lol

That intake is definitely not an old 318 "wideblock" intake... looks like it would be fun though!

This is my Coupe the way I drove it for years. It was a 10 to 1 440 with worked 906 heads, 484 MP cam and not much in the way of "high buck" stuff.
The car had 4.10 gears, a 727 with a 3200 stall, and it weighed 2910 pounds.

It moved pretty danged good, it got VERY good gas mileage FOR WHAT IT WAS, and it was reliable as heck. A true daily driver for years. The only real downside was the 4.10 gears to be honest, I should have went with a 3.23 or something....

That is a really good price based on what I have seen for conversion kits, that motor has probably twice that in parts on it.

wow, that is a nice price. However I cant afford it this month or maybe even next. And for now, I am still in Northern Nevada. Still, if I had the $$$$, the drive is not an issue.

that would work well.

It seems to have quite a few desirables for an old street rod IMO. I thought it was pretty decent as far as the money goes... but things pop up all the time too!

Yep, sold it. Wish I had not! Someday but this rig needs something that can make long trips and with a 392, I have to do some cutting and I dont want to have to do tat on this one.

Maybe with a local rod, sooner or later. Nothing looks like a baby HEMI.
