ARP has done a hell of a job convincing people that every build needs ARP studs...

Gotta tell ya - My shop is hardly a showplace, but you gotta get a little better organized - your place really is a train wreck. Tidy it up a bit - it will make your work SO much easier.

Reusing head bolts was no big deal until torque to yield bolts came out. Those are totally fine.

Have a good time rebuilding the 318 . With that ridge in the top of the bore and the rusted cylinder, it's a good bet it will need to be overbored , and new pistons . Great channel .

First video I have watched all the way through so far. Bravo! Looking foward to the rest of the build.

I like that your garage is about at full of stuff as mine. That's what real life looks like

Take them bolts with ya, Uncle Tony will tell you they are fine.

I love how you use the vacuum during disassembly. Uncle Tony would be proud of you

Looking forward to this build.....👍

Back in the day we called them a thermobog. If you can get the air door on the secondary set up and working properly, you might like it. Don’t go nuts with the cam, a stock 68’ 340 grind is a good choice

Two minutes into the vid and had to stop it and comment... Heck yes...a Thermoquad!!!!👍👍 my fav carburetor!!! Youll love it. Awesome choice!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great job you got a lot of work done in two days!

I love a thermoquad! I just rebuilt 3

they were fun tearing down

Love to see it. Took tonys advice for my 318 1973 satellite sedan.... “a loose motor is a happy motor”

Great job, one of my favorite parts is tearing and engine down too.

Yes, Mopar rods and caps are numbered - 1 3 5 7 drivers side, 2 4 6 8 passenger side. The 5 and 7 miss match is somebody else’s screw up.

My experience was, for the 318, and a mildly hot cam, with an automatic, the 750 cfm Thermoquad was too much. It would bog as soon as those big secondaries opened. But the Carter AFB (on which the Edelbrock is based), was perfect.

Nice video Brian. I can't wait to see all this completed. Gonna be Awesome 💥💥👍STAY SAFE🙏

Great content as always keep up the great job

As an old Quadrajet Master I can say Factory carbs have millions of dollars of development behind them and are mostly built to higher quality as warranty issues must be avoided. I used to build QJs that would run circles around a Holley.

I'm new I just run a cross your channel.i love it thanks for explaining.and express ing your option..I all do watch uncle toney.

Coming together...more I watch the more I am determined to to find a project. (Chevelle, Nova, Skylark, even a Ventura...70's of course) ballin on a low budget though

Well adjusted Carbs. are awesome !!

Anything over 800 to 850 is a waste on the 318s. Love the thermoquad

When I updated the ole ranch truck (71 D-100) The cam bearings were in the flake stage of life machine shop got the block back to round straight and square. I used performer cam,lifters,springs,dbl roller chain, and intake. Matched the ports to four barrel gaskets hardened Ex seats, real roller rockers, summit 600 carb, electronic ignition and hooker long tubes. No idea on HP but it's strong and real snappy Central California watching

Dude, you can reuse the headbolts - they are not torque to yeild

great fun video...keep up the good work.Can't wait to see you at Uncle Tony's!

As soon as you mentioned UTG I subscribed to your channel lol. I know that sounds weird but UTG rocks and im sure this will also.

Dude you had me as soon as you said thermoquad!

Thermoquad is the best carb for this. Going to be awesome.

Spring tension on the secondary air valve. Kinda Starwarsy but ya have to do that.

Great bolt removal trick!!!!

Thermoquads are amazing when tuned right, ran them on 360s and 340s. They sound wild when you tromp into the secondaries.

rofl The ol Thermoquad. I got a job in a C/P dealership as a kid. There were dozens of Hollys in boxes above the parts room. I asked the guys why. They had so many warranty complaints about the Holly equipped cars Chrysler said "SCREW THAT NOISE!" and replaced all the Hollys with the Quad. The tune-up guys swore by the Thermoquad and hated Hollys. The boss said I could have all the Hollys I wanted, but because I was a Ford guy and they were all spread bores I passed.

I have about 14 thermoquads cause in need them for tuning the one that sits on my 74 charger 440.

I use a 3/8 deep socket six side with a half inch adapter to half inch brake bar for that middle head bolt

Really love my pneumatic tools

Ive got a 72 satellite myself :) Love that car. they are getting hard to find!

I reused bolts all the time, head bolts, cap bolts, water pump bolts, I keep a nice organized stash of original bolts inside one comes up short or someone sticks something else in a motor.

Boyz From Illinoinz Are Ready !!!

Toss that brock! Never have had good luck with Edlejunk on a Mopar

As a Mopar guy I only had 1 car with a factory Thermoquad,as those were used in the smog era..Carter non thermoquad (edelbrock bought them later on and its the same as the ones used on mopars) were used and even Holley carbs from the factory 6 bbl and 440 non hi perf 4bbl were holleys,I think some 2bbl cars used holleys.

It is playing if you back out of the premier and just watch through KZfaq.

I wanted to see the bearings they should have a date on the back

great engine

Uncle Tony for the win!

I understand installing the head bolts in a specific pattern but it’s it necessary to remove them that way too

awesome

Remember that uncle Tony likes his motors backwards.

Now you've got your own stunt cam! Unrelated tip: The best and cheapest race gas is AVgas 100LL. its like $4-$5 a gallon and is 100 octane leaded gas. It's ment for small planes like Cessna's and you can buy it at any municipal airport. Most wont let you drive a car up to the pump so what you do is fill up a gas can and just use some random planes tail number and pay with a credit card. The old slang term for it is blugas because they dyed the stuff blue so cops could ticket you if pulled over though this hasn't been enforced since the early 80's. And also, you can't use it on fuel injected cars or cars with smog because the lead clogs the cats and the o2 sensors. Happy Hotrodding!

Oof that's is very unfortunate about the rust in the cylinders. And holy cow your almost at 5,000 subscribers! Congratulations man great video

Wouldn't be surprised if the factory did goof. They weren't the best for quality control.. This project is moving along nicely. Good luck!

When that engine came out oil wasn’t as refined as well as today. 130k was high mileage.

Anytime I found an engine with a factory defect inside of it or mistake I call it a Monday motor nothing gets put together right on Monday

Talk about those who don't bother to change oil. tore down a 350 sbc for a neighbor . Ya, "its in perfect mechanical condition" Turned out flat lobe syndrome causing backfires thru carb. even the cam bearings had a nice layer of varnish on them. Knew he wasn't gonna run it long so it was done on a severe budget. rings, main and rod bearings. cam and lifters plus the usual lineup of gaskets and breakin oil. ( yes reused the cam bearings. you'd be amazed how much varnish was built up on the lifter bores as well ) . a good block cleaning. he ran that engine for a few years before the old guy disappeared. He bragged to all who listened how well that engine ran .

Man number four cylinder looks rooted on one hand if you have to sleeve a few cylinders that’s probably to be expected but either way it’s a strong looking block..... Siamese bores..... I know it’s a budget build but you can’t go past roller lifters and cam.... roller rockers and dialing in the pushrod lengths using light weight set up springs and a sharpie pen and an adjustable pushrod.... comes in a kit That lifter that was worn down here in Australia we call those “eggcups” - That’s the best example you’ve got there I’ve seen in a long time..... I would say that motor has got every sign associated with a lack of oil changes...... not to mention we don’t even know if they’ve even used the correct grade oil...... Looks good - can be done I can’t see how you going to avoid new Pistons which is a shame for a budget build demonstration..... Not to mention if you’ve got a motor and it looks like someone else has been there before........ the whole thing is an un-known quantity so your just gonna have to measure everything three times check the crank journals for round clearances plastigauge everything because you don’t know the motor and you can put it back together and end up with a knock somewhere And that’s enough to bring you to tears...... but with uncle Tony on the job thats not gonna happen good luck boys...!!!!!

Love it.. My garage is a mess... Meh whatever's LOL

That head bolt reminds me of a bolt on a go kart carb it would spin but not come out

You know you can get close to 400hp out of that motor without breaking the bank

damn, that edelbrock chuck was epic! put it in your intro

CHRYSLER's are marked from the factory on the rod's on both the cap and rod look on the side where they go together.

Shop vac is smart / most mechanics blow debris all over/ I also use a shop vac it's in my utube vids/ my other trick is to put a wet towel over the shop vac! Great job! I'm following you/ I build motors 👍

I had a Thermoquad on my 360 powered Cordoba - once you agreed w/what the 'Quad would handle, it would be a good carb. I wouldn't set any 1/4 mile records w/her, but she always got me home.

TQs are great so long the body does not warp.

where did you get that awesome baseball cap with UTG printed on it?

That thing had so much schmutz on it, it looks like a 60s Ford!

Just did that 4 times before it works

Funny you mention vvt i was about to say that lol

Ya I wouldn't reuse stressed head bolts either

Would you run magnum heads on the short block?

bryan did that engine have a heat stove on the exhaust manifold drivers side ?

Are you going to put headders or reg manafolds on it

Not sure why but I get a itchy feeling every time there's a inside the garage sequence. Anyway nice work keep it up!

They have marked over both to avoid hitting the rod twice.

Great work, do you have a target date in mind when it will be done?

It finally rendered yay sadly no live premiere but at least it’s working

Where u ordering cam set

you need to chace them thread's out on the block

What stops you putting the cap back on the wrong way? We used to mark them on the side cap and rod to avoid accidentally mixing them up.

Surprised with you being Canadian you don't take it to the guru. Nick at Nick's Garage.

Wanting to do 318 heads or 360? Is your intake 273/318 port size or 318/360 port size?

Now there's a shop that has Nascar perfection written allll over it! LOL!!!!

Brian. Are you replacing the pistons ?

Common dude! I'm a 5'-10&1/2" tall 163# 69yrs old skinny guy! I BUSTED my 318's head bolts loose LAST NIGHT!!! (By hand cause harbor-garboridge elect impact pos too week) was shocked, teachin neighbors kid lil bout engines. He's 6-1 bout 180# he couldn't budge a couple of em either! But I got em! See my (real crappy) video, got motors everywhere, just like you! Lol Ooo then ya pull out da "CHEATER"! I don't bother doing bolts in order on teardowns. AND DAMN! Those lifters are SCARY bad news! I tore into another 318 last week. Prev owner ground away intake to fit a thermoquad on it. LET SHAVINGS FALL INTO MOTOR & DROVE IT ! Tore up bearings, turning em to lil BB's . ruined it.

Ah yes old school vvt

Might want to clean out the block,flat cam=Metal particles

Looks like that engine was ran when it was over heated, or the head gasket was blown out and ran for a long while to create the cooked oil and funkley stuff in the engine. I've had my share of over used engines to rebuild when I worked for my buddy's shop back in the late 80's/early 90's and that engine block might need to be scrapped or resleeved

I hate to rumor monger, but I was reading on a Mopar forum yesterday, that you were really Uncle Tony's son from an estranged past. I gotta level, there is an uncanny resemblance.

You mean to say a rich and affluent gearhead like your self does not have a breaker bar in 3/8's or 3/4 inch drive . WOW. Although I understand the logic in loosening head bolts in reverse order of tightening. never seen it recommended in any of my engine build books including my Chevrolet Power Manual. or I have forgotten it and / or not paying attention. I just put the appropriate socket and extension on my Husky impact tool in reverse. And let it turn em all the way out.

Pls cover up the insulation in ceiling the fine fiber enter into your lungs thus destroying them want you around along time Luv your videos.

So much gack!!

Mopar 318, GM 327, Ford 302, the holiest of holy small block V8s, when America was a great country, you could rebuild an engine with three wrenches and I had a full head of hair!

👌😎🌖

3, 2, 1...

Dont skimp on cost replace the cam bearings too do it right the first time zippers are known to leak

hydraulic lifters with play?

That oil tub on the leg of the engine stand is giving me anxiety

Original factory oil adds value lol

Find a 85-91 hydraulic roller 318 and build that, roller lifters and cams are cheap compared to retrofit roller cams. If you find a fuel injected engine, the inside would be even better.
