Project Fast Fish: 318 Stroker Build - Part 1
Season 1: Episode 3
Project Fast Fish is based on the restoration and modification of a Plymouth Barracuda.
Links to parts used are below.
This video features a walk-through of a 318 to 349 stroker build and represents Part 1 of 3. We look at the machine work from a local machine shop and install the crank, the cam and oil plate.
We had a spare 318 engine that was once housed in the ‘73 Barracuda. After being pulled from storage and gutted, it was sent to Roger’s Automotive Machine in Lake City, FL. There it was bored .030 over, bathed in a hot tank, had the freeze plugs installed and the cam bearings installed. They did some great work on the cylinder heads and connecting rods as well. Those will be featured in parts 2 and 3.
A 318 with .030 over and a 3.58” stroke from the 360 crank equals 349 ci. Our goal is to sell this stroker and use the proceeds to help fund Project Fast Fish.

Between you and Uncle Tony.. Mopar guys like me got it made.. thanks for sharing.! 😁

@MicsMotorworx 2 года назад

Thanks Rob. Uncle Tony is definitely on another level. It's honor to him referenced. There's a lot of good content out there. We're happy to have our small part. 😊

@roro-fe1rx 2 года назад

looks like a 360 crank ground down on the mains to suit 318

@MicsMotorworx 2 года назад

Nailed it.

@bobgill396 Год назад

You can get full grove bearings.Anything over 500 real horsepower you need a girdle I have been running an Alky injected 360 for 8 years shift at 7500rpm no problems at all

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

Nice. Thanks for heads up. Keep shifting high.

@dynodon100 2 года назад

The old # for full gr. mains was MS2714P it has been changed but they are still out there.

@MicsMotorworx 2 года назад

For sure. The key is getting the actual bearings and not a cross reference.

@88s10Durango Год назад

?? Was the main journals of that crank machined down to the 318 journal size ?

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

Yup. That was before the crank sat in storage for a while.

@dynodon100 Год назад

You forgot to show setting end thrust on crank. A very important step.

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

Wish we could have covered everything for everyone 😉 Maybe on a future build. Thanks for watching.

@Thundarr995 Год назад

What brand is that rear main seal? I replaced mine last year with a Fel pro. It didn't have those extra little strips off to the sides. Mine's not leaking, but I like the design of the one you used better. I just put a couple dabs of rtv on mine to seal it up between the block and the rear main bearing cap. If I ever need to do it again for whatever reason I'd like to use that kind. Thanks

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

Fel-Pro. It was the complete engine set. Here's the link from the video description // advanceautoparts.rt8x.net/RyNkP2 Fel-Pro KS-2114

@mikehill7951 Год назад

1966 was the last year for the poly 318 in a us car

@AJ-wh6gg 3 года назад

Did you have to clearance the blocks with either 3.58 or 4 inch stroke?

@MicsMotorworx 3 года назад

Yes. With the 4". Since the 3.58" stroker used a crank from a 360 with the journals milled down, there were no clearance problems on the block. Thanks for watching.

@Anarchy-Is-Liberty Год назад

That crank sure didn't appear to want to spin to freely!!

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

Lol. It did after everything was properly torqued down. Thanks for watching.

@garryhatchett775 3 года назад

Is that a custom crank or did you have the main bearing journals turned down to 318 size?

@MicsMotorworx 3 года назад

Nodular 360 crank purchased by my Pop in the late 80s. Journals were turned to fit the 318. Thanks for watching.

@drdodge827 Год назад

@@MicsMotorworx What about the balancing difference between the 360 and 318 ENGINES (not motor)?

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

We had the entire rotating assembly balanced and included the balancer and flexplate in the process. 😉

@blackshirt4ever02 Год назад

Could this also be done to a magnum block? I’d like to do this to my 318 magnum in my Ram.

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

Sure. With some variance in parts and such.

@eliasrodriguez7522 2 года назад

Is there a crack in the block on the oil filter section, I can see a straight line all the way down the block. Looks like it’s cracked.

@MicsMotorworx 2 года назад

Nope. Part of the casting. Thanks for watching.

@johnelliott4521 Год назад

Offsetting main rear seal from cap joint prenents leaks.

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

Neat tip!

@billcat1840 3 года назад

I wish I could do the opposite...destroke a 360 ..the difference is.030 in crank journal diameter...they make .030 over mains but I've never heard of anyone doing it. The 3.31 stroke with the 4" bore cut .040 over would give me a 340🤗.... I think.

@MicsMotorworx 3 года назад

Neat. If you decide to build it, let us know how it goes. Assuming compression remains equal, more stroke than bore means higher torque. More bore than stroke means higher horsepower.

@dirkshumbadrinkersb4908 3 года назад

Please excuse the question but could this be done to a "67" 318? I live in South Africa and am wanting to overhaul my late dad's Fury 2

@MicsMotorworx 3 года назад

Sure. LA small blocks were made from 1964 to the introduction of the Magnum. The Magnum was only slightly different. Thus the concepts used here apply to any 318 of the era. However, the various cranks may require turning. This is where research is key.

You should always torque the crank hardware up in ONE smooth hit, not with multi strokes of the torque wrench used as a ratchet, my goodness

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

Yes. My brother got on to me about the double clicks. In context, this was the host's first build of this type. We appreciate the feedback.

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

Sure. 318 to 349. 0.030 over with a 360 crank. We built this on based on some parts we had in our garage and some old plans for previous builds. Looks like a good collection you have there. Glad you stumbled across our channel and thanks for watching. :D

@44hawk28 2 года назад

You are way too stingy on that assembly lube for that crankshaft to drop into. Don't be so stingy. I didn't see whether you put assembly Lube on the upper caps either?

@MicsMotorworx 2 года назад

Hmm... Interesting take from the footage. The bearings were well lubed, but not dripping. Each builder may vary on the amount of lube they use. Must have been the lighting. 😁 Upper cap lube... Must have missed that part. All crank bearings received a good lube. (11:05 mark) Thanks for watching and addressing those. 🙏

WOULD THIS BLOCK BE THE SAME BLOCK AS MY 96 JEEP 5.2 LITER ENGINE THATS A 318 AS WELL RIGHT?

@MicsMotorworx Год назад

Hey Cliff. The Magnum 318 and LA 318 have some subtle differences. (Heads, lifter type) However, what you see is applicable for yours.

@russmiller7687 10 месяцев назад

Top end oiling is different on Magnum blocks. That needs to be accounted for, when it comes to heads, but Magnums were designed for roller cams, making running roller lifters much cheaper than with an LA block.
