Nice truck! I've got an 85 d150 that was passed down to me from my father in-law. We just got the engine built and put back in. She's got a 360 with a mild cam in it and I cant wait to hear her run!
Love your truck project. I have an '88 D100 I bought new. (yep, I'm old) I did the van lower control arms to lower it now I'm going to remove the 8.25 and put something else in its place. Probably going to be a 9 in. 8 3/4 chrysler housings are non existent in my area. 318 has always been a favorite of mine.
Good stuff, love your truck. I'll be finally switching over to 4bbl on my 318 motor(87 d100). I have a edelbrock performer intake and just received my remanufactured holley 600 street warrior in the mail today. I've got some hedman headers as well. I cant wait to get rid of the smog crap and have been entertaining the thought of doing away with the a/c stuff just to clean it up even more but I'm torn on that lol.
Very well done so far guys 👍👍 it’s really coming along since you’ve bought it .. I’ve followed every video on the truck since you got it !! I’m excited to see a video of it at the track when your ready to take it there !! Finally we’re all getting some nice weather .. we’ve been put in extended lock down till June 2nd due to how bad pandemic is here in my province of Ontario Canada .. I’m looking forward to getting out an burning some rubber at the track as well with my truck after all my mods I’ve done to it !! 👍 cheers guys !!
Looking forward to seeing some track time for her. Ditch the big heavy front tires for something a little skinnier and the wipers and wiper motor. Race trucks don’t need that. Lol. Easier to lose a pound in a hundred places then a hundred pounds in one place.
"easier to lose a pound in a hundred places than to lose a hundred pounds in one place...." I like that !!!!!! I need the wipers to be street legal. Trying to keep the "farm look", so the plan is to go back to the poverty caps with steel wheels ...
Ive put a w150 rear end on my 81' D150 short bed...its a 9.25 so how would be gas mileage...i got a 318 with Edelbrock performer dome an Edelbrock 1406 600cfm 4 barrel electric choke
Like your videos. You're an interesting chap. Two questions. Did you have to modify the steering shaft when replacing the power steering box with the manual? And do these popular auto parts stores have them available?
The 904 family bolts only to small blocks or Slant Sixes, but the 727 family have big block, small block, and occasionally a Slant Six bell housing bolt pattern.
hi like all your videos i have a 1992 dodge Dakota with the 318 i have the 392 rear end gears thats i was told wen i bought this truck are them good gears what is the best gears for the 318 for top end speed 😊
With the overdrive, you will probably run out of motor before you run out of gears, even with the 3.92's. Generally, the lower the number the better the top end - like a 3.21 would give more top end than a 3.92.
I see you removed all of your EGR/air pump nonsense. I have a 1978 D150 with the small block 360, I just ordered a Weiand intake because I think I might go 3rd Gen Hemi with the 727.

Well, Hunter isn't really a politician.......🤬
"Looks about as clean as a politician's hard drive" 🤣🤣

Wow! What a improvement! That truck is a tire burner now! Great Job, can't wait to see it on the track!
Thank You !!

Now the trucks burnout is good enough for the intro! Cheers
Thanks 👍
Nice 👍 I used 456 dana in my road runner 😊 430 is real nice street gear ,auto or stick 😊
Throughout time. Perfect for 318s, time is relative, both E.T.s and resale value.

Very nice! Spools don't care about wheel speed! Did you mean convertor stall or is it a lockup convertor style 727?
Thanks !! It's a lock up, low stall 727 truck tranny... the original

9.25 rear ends are tough! Gear ratio and driving habits will play a huge role in the gas mileage

Fun video thanks
Like your videos. You're an interesting chap. Two questions. Did you have to modify
the steering shaft when replacing the power steering box with the manual? And do these popular auto parts stores have them available?
Thank you! I got the extension from ebay. That is all I had to buy to do the swap. I believe I showed the piece in a earlier video
your 318 has a 904 or a 727 , someone told me a a 383 will not bolt to a 904 so how did your 318 bolt to a 727
The 904 family bolts only to small blocks or Slant Sixes, but the 727 family have big block, small block, and occasionally a Slant Six bell housing bolt pattern.
Bolt pattern on the bell are different on the BB vs SB. They made small block 904's and 727's. Big Blocks only got the 727.
NICE
What you think about a 360 magnum carbureted with granny 4 speed with 270 gear
I like it!
Hell yea amazing 🤩
hi like all your videos i have a 1992 dodge Dakota with the 318 i have the 392 rear end gears thats i was told wen i bought this truck are them good gears what is the best gears for the 318 for top end speed 😊

@@318willrun with the 3.21 gears will both tire's spin will any Auto parts store sell them gears were can i get them
4.30's? You don't play, lol. Should be a fun drive.
I have 3.73s in a 65 valiant. 45 is 2500 rpm.
I see you removed all of your EGR/air pump nonsense. I have a 1978 D150 with the small block 360, I just ordered a Weiand intake because I think I might go 3rd Gen Hemi with the 727.
Thanks for watching! Yes, a 3rd gen hemi would be great, and should fit like a nicely !!!
Were you able to bolt the 8 3/4 directly in place of the 8.25”. Same driveshaft an everything?
Yes. Even used the 8.25 backing plates/brakes.
@@318willrun awesome thank you
How many gears does this trans have? Does this tran have overdrive?
727 just the typical 3 speed

Hey do you need to do anything else when installing a spool? In an 8 3/4
You'll need green bearings on the axles
How would you go about getting a new window ?
I'd start with autoglass or the sort .. buy it new with installation

Nothing wrong with the 727 s
What size tires to Go with for the 392 rear end gears
The size of your choice, but remember, your speedometer may be off if you run a different size than factory.
is the a518 the same as the 727 i have the a518 in my dodge Dakota
yes... with overdrive
are the 392 gears good for the 318 i have a 92 dodge Dakota
With the overdrive, yes, 3.92's are great
33 inch tire to drive around town on?
It's what we had...... we've since moved on with the rims and tires
wow
Is it a long bed?
yes
