Rebuilding our "Rebuilt" Dodge 318 Poly! Build, Install, and Test Drive! 

How much ?

Though i replied to this, 350, if it needs to be shipped, as the crate is 150. 200 if you pick it up.

How much and where is it.

Dear Kelly, after advertising it for three months for 300 dollars, took it to the dump on Friday. There are about 4-5 mopar groups on facebook, have seen them rebuilt as low as 2500.... I live in Kingman AZ

He's the man for sure!!

Thank you! We love these old things and I wouldn't change a thing about it!

Ah good to know! All the Polys we have are 61-66!

Yes it will but the flex plate might need a little tweak late first gen hemis Polys LA / magnum s and late hemis have a common bolt pattern

No, 4 barrel intakes are super hard to get! They'll do just as good with a 350 or 500cfm Holley 2 barrel! It's a very common swap, and they perform so much better!

What?

Because truck transmissions suck. The auto is much more cruise friendly. If it was a truck you'd actually use for some work, a manual would be better.

I've never gotten one with a 4 barrel yet, they're not really all that special, you can do just as much with a nice Holley 350 or 500 2 barrel swap!

I'm not sure! We really like these engines though! This one turned out great thankfully!

The FE Ford is NOTHING like the poly motor as they predate the FE.

@@phonebackup8132 Take a look at the exhaust manifold flange angle then go look at the angle of the exhaust manifold flange on an FE and you tell me it doesn't look like it was designed by the same damn brain. Most V8 exhaust flange angles are perfectly vertical and the FE and poly have the same downward angle.

@MattsRageFitGarage I have had a FE a poly and a Cleveland. I have been completely through all of them. The exhaust flanges are ansulary to the rest of the engine design, the rest of the engines particularly the FE is so different as to be ridiculous. Turn the flanges on headers for a Cleveland 90 degrees and you could probably fanagle them onto a poly.

@@phonebackup8132 You still don't get my point.

Thank you, we're very happy with it! 4 barrels are actually pretty rare and they're prone to cracking. The Poly Guru Gary says a Holley 350 or a Holley 500 will run just as good as a 4bbl setup.

@@LambvinskisGarage Four barrel & a Carter/Edelbrock AFB or AVS will do the trick just nicely. Try not to inflict it with that [spit spit] Holey Pox. Keep it pure. The vacuum secondaries in these ensure good driveability along with good performance. I believe that alloy single quad intakes are available, just need to look for one. Over here in Oz, these engines were exceptionally popular with the boat crowd & there was a factory marine version in my fathers 'Admirals Launch'. It was in fact the Admirals Launch from the aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne, it was sold off when the ship was de-commissioned. The true "Semi Hemi's" were the Poly head versions of the Chrysler & Dodge Hemi engines from the 1950's [303? 331 & 354 Spitfire Chryslers & 241, 259 Plymouth, 270, 315 & 325 Red Ram Dodges] Gotta love all the Chrysler Corp V8 engines.

@KB10GL they're fantastic engines! The problem is getting a 4 barrel manifold, they're expensive and tough to get, especially when a nicely tuned 2 barrel will preform just as good on them. I would like to build one someday though! We have a 6 pack manifold and carbs that came from a boat that I would like to put on one someday!

It could be anything, valve seals, rings, valve itself, either way, a 66 Charger would be awesome! If you have Facebook, I highly suggest joining the 318 Polysphere group, those guys are so incredibly knowledgeable it's ridiculous! Quite a few parts interchange with a 318LA so that makes it a little better!

That sounds about right, luckily we had a fix for it!

Try Van's Auto maybe?

Not a lot of people fool with them, but we really like them! You'll find one, they made a ton of them!

Thankfully that's not our style! Or budget!! This truck may be getting bucket seats soon, but I haven't decided yet.

@@LambvinskisGarage Mildly modified but keeping old old is cool to me. Most of the videos I see, kids hack up really neat old cars and trucks, sometimes irreplaceable, just to turn them into ghetto wagons.

@LambvinskisGarage do they make any speed parts for polys? Also, I heard one time that they align hone cam bearings on small blocks at the factory because of core shift. Whether this pertains to polys or is even true, I don't know.

@@LambvinskisGarage if it is true, it must be because of bad machining. They have to bore the cam journals regardless.

It really is! We couldn't be happier!

It really does!! The stumble went away too!!
