Dust those 318's off boys!

NOT MINE

Mopar 318 engine

318 engine pulled from a 73 satellite. Was a great running motor just removed to put a 440 in. Motor was rebuilt when the car was restored a handful of years ago. Don't know many details...

If this thing sells I need to go hit up the local yard!

I have scrapped or given away every 318 I pulled or had. However, I have kept one 340 though and any 360's when I come across them.

I think the early 318's & truck 318's had a good forged crank & rods. Have used many crank & rods in 340's that I have built with good success.

The 318 is the best power plant Ma Mopar ever developed. Literally indestructible.
My son still runs the original 318 in his 72 Duster. Makes great power. It sat for 26 years in eastern Colorado before we rescued the car.
Soaked it in Marvel for two weeks, rolled over like butter. Fired up like it was shut down yesterday. 26,000 miles later still kicking ***.

I like 318's too. 383 and 318, run them hard all day and they laugh it off and ask for more.
But what this guy is asking is maybe just a little optimistic lol

That's a lot of dough for a $800 318.

A 318 is a great engine. It's even greater when you get one for free. But even if you pay a few hunnert moolahs, its a good deal. The seller of that one ? Dee-loo-sional.

That's a lot of dough for a $350 318.

 

[WileERobby]

$350 = a few hunnert moolah

Well, it says recently rebuilt so probably could have spent that much on it.

 

[icetech]

That has to be a typo... i paid $300 for my 318 and overpayed mainly cause the guy delivered it.. my lazy knows no bounds

 

[ACME A12]

$2,950... They must have some mighty fine wacky-tobacky up in Brillion, WI...

“Rebuilt” but dang it I lost the receipts, better throw a ridiculous price on anyway

Yep, that's a stretch.

I pulled my 318 out of car about 10 years ago. The motor still ran smooth, although it did burn some oil. It has about 250,000 miles on it. I know that because the odometer was showing the 50,000, but it was on its 3rd time around. I’m still storing it in my garage. I figure since it was the original engine, it might be worthwhile to hang on to it. Am I being unrealistic in thinking this way. Btw, I give it a turn every once in a while to make sure it doesn’t freeze up.

HP rebuild.

Back when, 318’s were more popular as boat anchors when all I wanted were BB’s; but know from my experiences they are reliable and tough. Wasn’t an easy decision when restoring my ’63 to keep the poly or drop it. After more thinking about what I would be doing driving-wise, didn’t need a big motor, but wanted some giddy-up. The rebuild and beefing did cost quite a bit more than I expected having the LONG list of receipts. A crate would have been less. Happy scale one to ten…nope well shy of 10 when I get the rare urge to do a thrilling burn-out…it can’t do. That’s about it; racing days left me with my youth.

I wanted to keep my poly but did the math and switched to LA... can't wait to fire it up now.. waiting on warmer weather..
