- This was a previous engine combination in the car, and walked circles around current mild LA setup. This was a 1987 Roller 318 block, stock magnum heads, edelbrock air-gap intake, Hughes SER1822ALN-10 camshaft. 218/222 duration at .050 and .539/.549 lift on 110 lobe angle. Matching hughes valve spring kit. Ran a 670 quickfuel brawler carb. Unfortunately failing cam bearings led to oiling issues and I opted for an inexpensive setup to get car going again. But I have these videos and wanted to do something with them! Enjoy! Would absolutely build this combination again!
I don't know how many times I've watched this but it is a lot. TH-cam keeps recommending it and I keep clicking every time. One of the best sounding 318s I've ever heard. So good.
@@benjaminkadron thanks I appreciate that. For some reason it will even suggest it to me. 😂 I still go back and watch from time to time too. That thing sounded killer!
@@RyanUrbanski I'm about to build the 318 in my duster and I think I'm going to do a very similar build.
You wouldn't expect a sound coming from a car like that
Man..that thing revs so fast. Makes me want to go try mine again 😅
It was such a fun combo. I miss it greatly, and would/will absolutely build a similar engine again. It was very impressive. Had to have had 50-75 more hp than current engine easily.
318s are the little engines that CAN!!!
Yes! Very underrated in comparison to its siblings. They have great potential.
Those cars were very popular in the 80's when I was a kid.That is an awesome build!! Fantastic choice on the wheels, it brings the whole look together! My uncle had the (same color) Fifth Avenue 318, with the vinyl top/seats, fully loaded, with tinted windows and spoked Wheels and white wall tires. Beautiful car and it drove an rode fantastic! Those cars are very underappreciated. It was pretty much like the Cadillac for Chrysler Corp in their day.
That thing sounds Amazing!!! Love me a modded 318. 👍
That is one SUPER SWEET SOUNDING 318!!!
Thanks for sharing it, WOW...
There's a local guy that has a 408"(5.7 stroker using Scat forged rotating assembly) Magnum in a Mirada that runs low 10s using Edelbrock heads - extensively reworked - and a hydraulic roller. The car is rather gutted for a street driver, but it has reeled in some cars that looked much faster. I like the Magnum blocks as they seem pretty strong and are roller cam ready.
This car is so awesome, thanks for sharing! I want to put a V8 in my 77 Aspen and the 318 just sounds amazing!
Just put the same cam in a 360 magnum. Did cam eddy air gap intake and shorty headers. Cant wait to see what it will do in my 86 w-150
Should wake it up really well! Idle may be a little smoother but should still chop noticeably with proper carb/tuning. This thing had a great rpm range and would pull hard up top.
Yup hopefully it runs pretty good for stock block. I was going to go one step up on cam but being a truck i wanted to get good off idle power through mid range.
Man iv always wanted to build one of these. The interior was so classy for the 80s and id build it very similar engine/looks wise. Sounds excellent brother 💪
0:42-0:54 👌🏻 it’s perfect
Holy crap that was awesome. Looks like it pulls all the way to 6k
I know you sold it i remember seeing it on Facebook i deeply wish i had bought it i ended up in a 1984 Buick LeSabre with a 307ci Oldsmobile motor can't complain its low mileage at 76k but the Oldsmobile motor definitely isn't a mopar when it comes to power
Man, that thing sounds excellent and seems like it has no problem getting out of it's own way.
Thank you! It was a solid ripper for sure. Nice power band and never “nosed over” In upper rpm range. Happily pulled passed 6k. 3.55 gears tamed it down a bit with the auto and its rpm capabilities.
Thanks for the amazing video! Love it.
That thing is a badass! 🏁🏁
Thank you so much! Plan on building another hot rod 318 when money allows! Hopefully with a clutch pedal too.
Thats nice looking car
Hey Ryan , you're on track as far as the Vehicle is concerned , but Remember that , these Engines have Torque , so you're actually have a Big-Block , set-up , going if you decide to go back with the former set-up , then look into a Higher Performance Bearing , and Bearings , that may be more of a Studier Bearing/s !!!
Damn that sounds really good!
Thanks! Love the exhaust. Just a simple 2.5 inch setup with longtubes, x-pipe, and magnaflow style mufflers. Summit brand. Even with stock 2 barrel it sounded decent. Haha
@Ryan Urbanski it's perfect. Love it.
That engine sounds as responsive and as healthy as I've ever heard.
Mine just doesn't seem to be balanced as good. I wonder if we should have balanced it after adding the Keith Black pistons?
Thank you I appreciate that! Honestly this was all factory rotating assembly. Im sure it wasnt predicted to spin to near 6500 rpm but it did fine. Ive noticed its mainly carb tuning that really helped get the response and snap this thing had. Once it was dialed in, it really ripped.
@@RyanUrbanski
Cool!
I'm working at my carb little by little. After reading between the lines, I threw the carb size calculator in the trash and just slammed an 800 avs2 on my mod 318. It works and runs a lot better than the 600 and 650 Hollies that I had. Heck, a stock 340 six pack had over One thousand CFM going into it! Over the winter, I'll be installing an air fuel wide band 02 setup so I can get jetting dialed in nice nice... And I got one of those Powerblast plates which fans out the accelerator pump fuel shots. The guys that have never tried one say it's a gimmick but anyone who's actually put one on have only positive feedback. We'll see!
Sounds like it should! This thing is fuckin mean, great job 😁👍
Thank you much appreciated! Thing ripped for what it was.
Damn that Chrysler revs so fast! How good it was? How much Horsepower and Gas mileage it got?
it was extremely enjoyable to drive! I don’t have any official numbers unfortunately. Not as quick as my 5.7 hemi challenger, but not far off. Gas mileage wasn’t terrible. In the realm of 15mpgs on freeway if I recall correctly.
Best Engine Created by Mopar. Yeah 😂
Its the underdog for sure. I dig them.
i have been looking at some of your videos and i have to say she is super fast and clean whats done to it because i have a 84 5th avenue that has a stock 318 and i dont think its that fast
Thanks! It was a clean and fun ride. It had a cammed 318 magnum swap with edelbrock intake and holley carb. Headers, dual exhaust with x-pipe, 3.55 gears and a limited slip rear end.
That’s one street rod Plymouth gran fury
Mmm Spicy
I want this
Incredible souding machine ! Can you help me out with the pushrods and lifter needed ? Thx a lot
This is a factory roller cam 85-89 LA block. I installed factory magnum lifters and factory magnum pushrods to go with the roller cam and magnum heads.
Sequential turn signals?
Yes! Added a kit from Summit racing I believe. Pretty universal. Just had to modify outer socket to use an 1157 socket vs 1156 bulb.
What rear gears do you have?
3.55s here. Second gear would do about 90mph. 😂
What exhaust are you running?
It's a custom 2.5 inch system with patriot A-body headers, x-pipe, and MagnaFlow style mufflers. A-body kits can be made to work with a little tweaking.
Magnaflow straight through bullets or Magnaflow ovals (like the 4x9 or 5x8 bodied muffler)?
@@allseensniper59 standard oval cases. Center in offset out/reversible.
Part number on exhaust please ?
This is a custom built system. You can take an exhaust system for an A-body, like plymouth duster or dodge dart and modify it to work.
