    Poly 318 Parts Source

    So what to do when Poly parts are tough to find. Follow the Rodney Dangerfield Poly manual... Buy a cheap 360 and have the crank turned down to 318 specs. Bore the block to 4.000 and throw the whole kit a caboodle in... Sounds easy on paper, but I can assure you its not! Still getting it done...

    Poly 318 Parts Source

    Yep we did the 402ci thing with tons of help from the Guru that is Gary Pavlovich. 1965 Sport Fury and it run like a scalded cat! Just rebuilt a 318 Poly for my 66 Coronet and got a freebee Poly for my 64 D200 truck. Happy days for the Poly lovers of the UK like me!

    My pleasure Terry. Always happy to help a fellow Moparman. Sixpack 440ci Jensens are very rare indeed! Love the story of the Dodge pick-up, those days are long gone sadly... Some cars drink fuel and that's without a lead-foot driver! My mate runs a 318ci injected Ram most days in LA and he...

    As you probably know the 350ci was a 4 1/8 bore bigblock. Which grew to 361 the following year and then in 62 up to 383ci. That was the same block just bored out! I have one of these early 361 into 383 blocks with the correct heads which are 4 bolt covers. These are different to the 64 on head...

    The early 383's were painted turquoise for the Mopars. But Jensen painted them black with silver covers, for some strange reason? Not my favourite colour but its original for Jensen CV8, Interceptor etc... This is another 1964 Cv8 engine I did a few years back.

    Anyways what I would like to offer you is 'a BIG BLOCK' engine from England. I have a garage full of engines from Mild to Wild lol... As a lifelong collector and builder of Mopar engines I have some spare! Just finished a first year 383ci engine 62/63 for a Jensen Cv8 but the owner has fallen...

    My friend here in the UK was/is a Christine nut too! He had saved up £5000 back in the 80's to buy one in the USofA. I had just bought a 68 R/T Charger from the USA and he bought that from me instead.:usflag: Think he sort of regrets it now as finding a Christine will be very hard...

    1976 Gran fury wagon. Want to go from 440 to a 318

    1975 fury crash test! Unlike modern cars the design and weight was an issue to the folks inside. Mass is energy and is hard to stop! Lighter cars better built with airbags etc will save you in a crash. Not every crash is someone's fault, its just an accident...

    1976 Gran fury wagon. Want to go from 440 to a 318

    Sorry 76 Fury, Your thread started out in pure innocence and look where we ended up! It touched me on so many levels it was hard NOT to reply with 'home truths'. I would loved to had a father who would contemplate me even driving his car, (it never happened ). I went through a bad divorce and...

    1976 Gran fury wagon. Want to go from 440 to a 318

    The GTX's are the best cars ever made! I have had a 70 and still have a 71 in sassy. Lucky enough to drive a 67 426 4-speed hemi GTX car back ten years ago. Wow its the highlight of my Mopar life without a doubt... So back on track, why spoil a factory 440ci car with a 318ci? I have upgraded...

    1976 Gran fury wagon. Want to go from 440 to a 318

    All we had was beer and fags and no money to buy either lol... I did play space invaders for a while and my girlfriend said I was a NURD! So I tuned up my Cortina and frightened her to death. Bad mistake as she was gorgeous and a great loss... You live and learn then regret foolish things you...
