Mopar Muscle Association UK

The 390 I've spent the last three years researching and building.
Night and day difference, even though I've take it no where near its limit yet.

I did the same and got second engine so I could keep mine on the road while it was being built.
Glad I did.

One thing that needs to be mentioned ...

Sorry mist your replies guys, Thanks Dave81 Dave and Neil

Thanks Dave
You are always a fountain of knowledge

There are some clever old people on here, usually better informed than the Wider Facebook community too!
All the best, and keep us updated.

Thanks Pete
If I go ahead and build a motor, I will share with you guys

Just like to thank you again and the Mopar Muscle Association UK


I know I don't come on here too much and I don't even have a MOPAR, but I seem to get help and information from you guys

Hope you all have a great summer and you never know? I may meet some of you guys ?

Thanks Neil and Dave
Like I said

IF?
I was to build a 318 with a bit more oomph !!
I will copy all the input and information

Again thank you all

this is probably a bad idea......

you will need to find the crank out of a 360 that someone has discarded because they went with a new steel stroker crank
you will need 360 heads that someone has discarded because they went for nice ally heads
you will need to deal with the internal external ...

The proviso on this is that the Torque Convertor is sufficiently "Slippy" and will not stall too early and make it very unpleasant to drive - the same applies to any Camshaft change, they all need to be a match package...

Am running manual Ford T5 :thumbright:

Ahhh!!!

A good drive spoiled ...

You will also need to find a machinist that will do the work for a less than insane price. I was told yesterday £600 is the going rate to rebore a V8 block and same again to balance the rotating assembly. There must still be people out there that do quality work for a good deal less than that ...

7ltr would be 427/428 ish so 408 isn't near that at under 6.7ltr, lol. 40 over on the 318 with the 4" stroker gives 392 which is a vintage hemi size.
neil.
just remembered they do a 392 gen3 hemi in modern chargers/challengers too these days, playing on the vintage vibe.


OK a 6.7 sticker then ;)

If you just wanted to improve acceleration and was not too worried about at higher cruising speed, a set of Numerically Higher gears is probably the cheapest fix for livening up a car, as with all modifications and projects - it depends on the overall objective.


Thanks, :thumbright:

the 360 stroker would be a 408 so only 18 cu in more than the 318 stroker at 390 cu in. and you'd have to buy a 360 while you already have the 318.

Yeh!! But 7ltr sticker on boot would look so good
