I have a 65 Coronet with a 318 poly that I have rebuilt. Bought a new engine harness from Year One but it didn't include the fusible link that runs off the starter relay, and they don't have one for a 65. I'm thinking about replacing it with a fuse and holder. Anybody have any idea what...

I'm putting my newly-rebuilt 318 poly back into my 65 Coronet. Somehow, looking through the multitudes of pictures I took before removing the engine, I did not get a good shot of the motor mounts. I have a new set from Schumacher. Can someone tell me if the brackets that attach to the ears on...

Today I hope to start up my just built poly stroker for the first time. It's on a test stand (pics below, because everyone like pics ) I'm down to the last couple of things, and one is the wiring. About all I know about electricity is that it shocks me when I'm stupid. Apparently, I'm...

Hey guys, I have finished building my first engine and transmission. It's a 318 poly stroker (349 c.i.) and 727 with a Transgo TF-2. I am going to break it in on an engine stand. Being my first build, I being realistic that I'll probably have some issue to deal with, even if it's just a...

I have a Weiand 7503 aluminum manifold that I'm using on my 65 poly build. I bought it used a couple of years ago and just went to test fit it in the engine. There is a plug in the intake floor below the thermostat housing that someone plugged with what looks like a plumbing pipe plug with a...

I'm building my first engine, a 318 poly stroker (349ci). I'm about to install the heads and I've read about some using a sealant on the gaskets. Some use hi-temp aluminum paint, some copper paint, some Permatex, etc. I'm using the standard blue Fel-Pro gaskets. Do you use a sealant? If...

I have done about just about anything you can do mechanically with a car except rebuild an engine. So I am doing my first one. I am building a 318 poly using a 349 stroker kit. Already gone though some interesting stuff getting the parts machined to work together. Probably should've started with...

I am building my first engine and ran into a situation that I need your opinion on. It is a 318 poly stroker. When I had the initial machine work done, of course part of it was to first clean the block and heads. When I started assembling the short block, I checked the water and oil passages...

Hi folks, I'm putting together a 318 poly stroker (349 c.i). It's the first time I've assembled a short block and I've got a couple of what are probably rookie questions. The pistons are KB Silv-O-Lites. They are flat top with no valve reliefs. They have an arrow shaped notch on the...

Hi all, I'm rebuilding a 318 poly and noticed that none of the four thrust plate bolts have a hole for oil. There is a small galley going from the lifter valley to the right front bolt (viewed from the front) but the bolt is solid. Is that the way these are supposed to be? From the pics...

We're upgrading the cam, intake and carb on our 65 Coronet with a 318 poly. When we pulled the intake and saw a lot of carbon build up, so we decided to pull the heads and have them cleaned and a valve job done. Two of the exhaust valves on the left head are tan, and the middle two are white...
