That is the first I have heard of the two rings, and as far as the heads go, nope, can't beat that price with a stick. Ports clean up pretty good. You may or may not find a shark's fin going to the valve guide inside the intake port, part of the long side turn before the port. Get rid of it, tons of bottom end power is gotten by removing it.


Also, the newer hardened cylinders are a major plus in reduced cylinder wear, 150K miles results in no ridge at the tops of the bores, so you may need to do nothing but hone the cylinders and be done with it.

Dana44, I've read a couple of others threads building the 318's and one said that they were using "STOCK" roller rockers.
His was a 2000 yr head I think.
Well, Mine is a 94/95 and would like to know at what year did the 318's come out with roller rockers, and will they swap on ANY Magnum heads?
I'm heading out to another LARGER yard looking for all the front accessories/brackets and would like to know.

I got on Amazon and quickly picked up a "How to hot rod the Chrysler 318" but it only goes up to about 1987.
Is there another book that covers the later Magnum engines?

Thanks E

Not sure about the year the roller tipped rockers start, but the engines section should help out that, I think it is the change to the Magnum engine which did the rockers, and I think it was 1989 for the roller lifters for the 318 and 1990 for the roller lifters in the 360, but verify that info with the engines section. You can put the Magnum heads on the LA engines, but you have to use AMC V8 lifters to oil the rockers through the pushrods vice through the common rail. You may find a book on the Magnum engine itself.

I think that it would be less expensive for me to purchase a Chrysler to GM trans adapter since I have 4 rebuilt tranny's to choose from.
It's about 350.00 for the adapter and about that JUST for a REBUILD-ABLE CORE!

Thanks E

Well, the 4L60 is a good transmission overall, TV cable is easy enough, it is your car, which brings me to ask, what is this engine/transmission combination going into?

You sittin down? (don't hate but..) It's a '88 Mitsubishi Mighty Max (same as the Dodge Ram50) long bed, 1-ton with toyota front rotor/hub and rear axle swap to get the 5x5.5 bolt pattern.
Rear gear is a 3.73(?) from what it rotates out to be. I posted a pic of it somewhere on here...

And I just found another long bed at the pull it and wanted to make a trailer from that ones bed/frame but they said that it would be about
350-400.00!! OR, I could just buy the bed for 99.00 and cut it up to make a 2-3' extension to mine.
It's just that the truck is about 5 spaces in from an Isle AND ALL THE WAY in the back of the yard.
It's gonna be fun to lift that bed high enough THEN try and push a 'A' frame out to the Isle for them to bring up to the front.
