sorry, had to go off and do some work ;) the build-up in the Hot Rod book uses standard 360 crank and rods, but some speed-pro 318 pistons with the top machined off them. I don't think they were anything fancy, but they only took 0.100 off the piston but it should logically be .250 (ish) higher, so ...

has anyone here had any experience of these? http://www.speedomotive.com/mopar_318_to_350_stroker.htm I'm thinking of ways to get round my broken-block-bought-on-ebay fiasco, and I was wondering if anyone has built one of these? The shipping makes it prohibitive, but I've got an article on how it's ...

Hmmm, yes, that's kind of what I figured if I'm getting a diaphragm type clutch to go with it

(off to find a hammer for that piggy bank...)

yeah, i was thinking about that, it's just finding the money for a steel one. They seem to be about $300 and the shipping isn't going to be cheap (Hmm- I wonder if anyone needs a Dart GT gearbox...) The cracks are very small, they literally look like they just sit on the surface, but as you say, I d...

I'm just trying to come up with a plan based on getting the...

Pulled the 318 out of my Dart this weekend and saw that despite the cover plate and friction disc looking good, the flywheel has lots of tiny cracking marks in the surface. I really don't like the idea of a flywheel coming apart near my feet, so was wondering if this is a safe thing to have skimmed ...

"A dink"? Mine look like they've been run over ....

That said I might as well wait till they fall apart before I replace them - looking pretty doesn't make you go faster
