Good looking car sir !!! Love the 318s as well. I own two of them and have been throwing the idea around about building a 318 stroker but know information has been found yet. great set up !!
318 huh, never thought of building one. Had a '64 Barracuda I really enjoyed. Bought it to drop in a 273 that was built for a dirt track car. Later I bought a wreaked Dart with a 340 and had it built by the same builder-even the local big blocks hated me. Just never thought of starting with an actual 318, no one did in those days. Seeing yours, we missed out on some extra power plants we could of been building.
Had 64 slant 6 version, followed by a 68 hipo 273 4spd version, mf scooted, quite the stoplite screamer, took whole bunch of 20s from folks, find yourself lucky enough to be 1st in line at a red next to a muscle car other lane, hold up a 20, if other person did same, at next lite looser paid up,,, the slant 6 another one lots of people passed over but they could, and did beat a lot of v8 cars that tiny 4bbl had on the 64 with the headers really opened up the proformance
@@danielbrealey2924 yes it's an a 833 I can shift one through 1st to 2nd leave nothing but a solid black mark if I wanted 2 with lots of internal modifications
Gorgeous 'ole Cuda! For me, the cheap way to gain max stability in the fight against wheel-hop was HEAVY duty tow truck shocks, & a medium strength anti-sway bar. Yeah the ride is a bit spine crunching, but it bloody worked. That distinct starter sound, & BIG cam idle is relaxation music for me! (I'll be in my bunk)
DUDE! WICKED COOL BARRACUDA!! Sounds super healthy!! Hotta Love a Built 318!! Set your caltracs to bring the cars center of gravity back a little to give you a little more squat and less wheel spin but overall Very cool and fairly smooth transition with no wheel hop = Bad Ass Fun!!
Fo r a small block mopar. Which motor 273 318 340 or 360 is best to build for parts availability and cost. I can't find a lot of info on which is easiest to find parts and build a solid high preformance v8. For like 8,000 dollars
Had a 74 Dodge Dart Sport!! 318 2 barrel , factory headers, his and her shifter!! Had 60s on back, polish slotted Keystone mags!!! Regular tires and blk rims in front with baby moon Mopar!! Sleeper!!!
we had a 69 just like that 318 the motor and trans were solid the rear end always seemed a bit on the weak side wanted to put a dana never got around to it nice looking car he has
Where can I find good high performance parts for the 318? cylinder heads and crankshaft, piston rods for example? site addresses thank you to the mopar community.
I had a 66 and a 67 barracuda brother, I love those things!! What a beautiful car man!! What state are you in? You’ve gotta be on the same eastern side of the country as I am with those tobacco fields you found in Mexico, lol
Have to add this... My family is all from Kentucky, both ends of the state. A tobacco base is a very big deal to small farmers everywhere in the midwest. They guard their crop like the cartel, especially when it's cutting time and going to the barn to hang. When dry and headed to the market every family member is on board for that $120k paycheck for the annual usual tobacco base on a small farm. Split it up and live for another year.
@@williamstamper442 I grew up in Ohio and one of my first jobs in school was planting, hoeing, cutting, spearing, and hanging tobacco in the barns. It’s a job that nobody will ever again know how to do unfortunately. It’s all done by machine now. We are the last of a long line of manual labor field workers brother
Love that sound,had a 68 Cuda with 5.38 833 slick shifted 4 speed lighten 2900 with 340 606 flat tappet, a 50 pound flywheel we ran it at 8500 all the time, I copied a guy's engine build in hot rod from the late 70s he ran 1070 with tunnel ram only ran 1107 in about 1980 love the car
Chrysler could have promoted a four barrel 318 for the Trans-Am series. That would have been pretty cool. But instead they gave us the mighty 340. Which, as we know is essentially an LA 318 block with a larger bore. I've built two 318 blocks to over 450bhp for street use over the years, and it's really not that difficult. With the right compression (just under 10/1) and a decent flowing stock top end and can, you WILL make power! How much is up to you and your wallet. I didn't see it first hand, so take it for what it is, but I knew a guy in the late 90’s who claimed 850hp out of a N/A, forged bottom, and girdle’d 318. I saw the block. It was from ‘70. This was a long time ago, but I’ve heard just before covid that this engine was still around. I don't know who owns it now. If anyone knows of a big power NA 318 at the track is love to hear about it.
shit yeah. i put an nv3500 behind the little 5.9 in my jeep, and even just stock, its fun as hell to drive, and pretty fast for a brick in the wind. i cant even imagine how fun this thing is to drive.
@1:15 - That's pretty good, right there. Lifted just enough to take the load off the gears. Haven't watched the rest yet, but that's what you want if your going to do this s a lot. No lift shifts are for 'boxes with dog syncros
@3:13 - that's great, but it is very hard on the whole driveline- but that poor old trans is not going to like that long term with normal style syncros...
I am pretty old so I learned to drive in cars and trucks with actual non synchro gears. In my teens I had a 39' Ford Std coupe with a 36 gearbox. That was the hot deal then because the straight cut first allowed a driver to change from 1st to 2nd without lifting ,known then as a bang shift. It also meant not using the clutch. Move on a few years and i was reading a book published in 1966 which described how the mopar drag team,the ramchargers, had modified a 833 four speed to be shifted without the clutch once rolling. It involved using a dremel to remove teeth from the Synchro cones .pretty much the same idea as the 1936 Ford V8 trans had. A real dog box, And I drove one once, has sliding gears with 'dogs' that lock into each other ,pretty vicious thing to drive ,but fast.
@@Mercmad Very cool, I'm a qualified mechanic of 23 years- I understand exactly what your saying. I didn't think about modifying factory synchro's! Very good, I can picture exactly what you mean... A '39 Ford, I bet you wish you still had it- sounds very cool
My 72' cuda 340 would also do 7700 rpm, then it broke of the end of an exhaust valve and threw it through a piston, then I rebuilt it, then a girl floored it, lost control, ran into a concrete lightpost with me in it doing about 45mph, the whole thing just twisted up like a tin can.
Letting girls drive always ends up in a good car turned scrap. Ask me how I know! However with that said, I still support my own 17 year old daughter and my current girl too, if either wants to go drag racing because I know a girl in the know can be deadly on the drag strip or street!
Is this a stock block 318?, if so, I don’t see how it can hit or survive 7700 rpm without some serious and expensive engine mods. I had a few 318’s mildly hopped up that barely made it to 5800 rpm. Those old fast back Barracuda/Cuda are the best looking A body Plymouth ever made. Kudos to your Cuda.
Nice car sounds good but not 7700 rpm good. I've drag raced alot of small block Mopars in the past with W2 heads on a stock block 6800 rpm is about the best shift point with a big solid roller cam and aluminum rods. Stock blocks will not hold up to 7700 rpm shift points plus a seriously doubt you have enough cylinder head to be turning 7700 rpm. That would require a W7 W8 or W9 cylinder head which would blow the bottom end of a stock 318 block to pieces. Normally the number 6 cylinder will go on the stock blocks for some reason not sure why. Nice car but I don't buy the 7700 rpm shift point doesn't even sound like it's even close to that in the video.
yeah , we used to say My cars so fast it will pass everything but the Gas Pumps, BTW your car makes all the power at 7,000 r.p.m. shifting?, this is a nice video for the track too

The 318 was a great engine .. highly under-rated ..
They are especially good with a 4" crank. I believe this one is a 402 cid . .090'' over 318 with a 4'' crank.

I built one for a customer in a VJ 4 door. First run out 11.06 120mph first run. New converter getting fitted should go 10s.
Wow! That is the best sounding 318 I have ever heard!
Ultra super underrated engine , true sleeper always respond well to upgrades , its cousin is the 340 ! Fucken-A killer ride totally
