Teardown

Cylinder heads and engine block need a clean up, hot tank, and a scrub before we can start any work. Every part gets a deep clean to remove all that baked on grease.

Then we inspect them again and magnuflux for cracks.

    I’m looking at getting a 318 for my 66 DODGE A100, it had a 270 inline 6. I need a complete motor

    I’d really love it if you could give me a guesstimate on rebuilding my ’67 Dodge D100 318. I’ve had it for about two months and was having the carb rebuilt when the mechanic said he noticed a leak and pull the head. Inside he found a grey-like paste which he believes is from metal-on-metal rubbing possibly due from a faulty oil pump. — he wasn’t sure until he’d tear down the entire engine. — not his specialty. I found you on a google search and I’m hoping you can help. So — what might it cost and how do I get it down to you as I live in Fresno?

    I’ve included all of the pics I have of this truck. You can check ’em out at the link below.

    Thoughts? prayers? Thanks.

      How much to rebuild a 318 from a 72 duster as a fast daily driver?

    I know this is a tough ask, but I’m going to do it anyway.

    I’m considering buying a 1965 Dodge Dart with 318 V-8 — original engine with 60,000 miles. The owner said it “smokes a little and will probably need a valve job.”

    I haven’t replaced an engine or heads since 1971 when a Ford 289 short block cost me $250. I imagine the prices have increased since then.

    Could you give me a ballpark/rough idea/range of the cost for a valve job on a 318? And in case it needs a lot more, a rebuild similar to what you did for the 318 in your post? I’m just trying to get an idea of what I’m getting into if I buy this Dart.

    Thanks much.

      Rich,
      It’s not tough at all. It’s what we do.
      I emailed you estimates for a Valve Job and an Engine Rebuild for your future Dodge 318.
      Thanks
