4 months ago I converted the car over to a 4 speed, and beat the ever livin hell out of that 318 until it could take no more...LOL
It ended up cracking a piston /wrist pin. So I pulled it out of the car, and tore it apart.
So now my "plan" is to build a dedicated...
Minor update. Here's the 1" shorter snout installed on the blower, I had to use a shorter snout to clear the mechanical clutch fan. Now I have to machine 1" off the blower pulley spacer. :blob:
After months of saving little by little, and a 10% off coupon from summit, I finally was able...
Okay, thanks for the heads up. I will use the 750 holley supercharger carb. I also found out that one time B&M made a fuel injection system back in the mid '80's just for these superchargers. It's very neat! I would like to come across one someday, but of course, extremely rare...
Hey fstfish! Yes, the pulleys are still available. I have a 6" crank pulley and a 3.5" driven pulley, which "should" make about 7psi on a 318...I also plan to use a water/meth injection system as well...
I know it kinda goes against the rule of thumb, and is odd to me... but I've been told by others who have a similar setup to use a DP...There's some other threads on the chevy forums if ya search for these mini blowers on google, with contradicting advice, use a DP, they work great on these...
Been away for a while, been slowly gathering other parts needed for this swap.
I am in the market for a carburetor. What would you guys recommend? I have my eye on the Holley line of supercharger carburetors, like the 750 mechanical secondary manual choke version...
okay, so what thick head gasket would you recommend? do ya have a PN? I dont remember which ones I used that came in the re-ring kit I got from summit. it was just a standard re-ring kit... another recommendation i got was to use the felpro 1008's.
Going with the thicker head gaskets, would...
I was hoping I was gonna be safe due to the lower compression, and I was gonna use water/methanol injection. And maybe use a boost retard ignition if it's necessary...In cali, we are limited with pump 91 premium as the highest. Not the greatest...
???
This is my current 318
Its a completely stock bottom end from a mid to late 70's car. (cast crank, rods, pistons.) Its got keith black silvolite cast pistons that are .060 overbore, with 4 valve reliefs and they are .070 down in the hole...(remember late 70's low compression)
I did a...
id love to own one...theres a 69 or 70 Plymouth GTX a mile away from my house. some crack head owns it. just sits out front in the sun with a half assed car cover on it...it has all the right stuff from what i can tell...its brown (dunno the proper color term) and has the GTX stripes too. he...
