OK, this thing can't really be a muscle car with a 318.
A new engine was in order. An easy fix would have been to replace
it with another small block. So much for easy, I selected a 440
CI big block. This particular engine was taken from a 78 Dodge
truck. The owner had recent receipts of a rebuild. The engine
was clean on the inside, but filthy on the outside. Truck oil
pans had the sump on the rear, cars in the middle, so a new pan/pickup
would be required. This is a later model, pretty smogged out,
but it should serve as a solid builder. I did have the opportunity
the hear it run. It seemed to need a tune up, but it didn't smoke
at all. |
