A politicians hard drive. Lmao. I.love it.

I love Old Hot Rod trucks.I can't wait to see more of this truck.. Of course I'm a bit partial... I can't wait to get CASPER back on the road. Andy

@@318willrun Thank you Sir!

[@cmintsurfer]

I'm impressed with the order of the changes, where each one yields real results!

[@blah9664]

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.

[@318willrun]

Thank you! Awesome you got your items !!! many are waiting these days....

Now the trucks burnout is good enough for the intro! Cheers

[@318willrun]

Thanks 👍

[@Kevin_747]

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.

[@318willrun]

Sounds like you have a cool truck!!!! Thanks for watching !

[@ARCbonez]

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!

[@318willrun]

Thanks ! Sounds like that 360 will be a runner !!!

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.

[@318willrun]

"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 ...

[@frankstephenson1746]

Fun video thanks

[@javimacias1215]

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?

[@318willrun]

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

[@DuddiesAdventure]

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

What you think about a 360 magnum carbureted with granny 4 speed with 270 gear

[@318willrun]

[@christianxzowner2958]

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

[@318willrun]

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

[@wildestcowboy2668]

Who cares about gas mileage son, I have a 440 in my mint power wagon and it drinks gas and hauls AZZ.......

[@markpollard500]

How many gears does this trans have? Does this tran have overdrive?

[@318willrun]

727 just the typical 3 speed

[@C_71]

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.

[@318willrun]

Thanks for watching! Yes, a 3rd gen hemi would be great, and should fit like a nicely !!!

[@jimgee2676]

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

[@johnwilburn]

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.

[@318willrun]

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.

A bit late but could you give me the information on your intake manifold you used?

Were you able to bolt the 8 3/4 directly in place of the 8.25”. Same driveshaft an everything?

Hey do you need to do anything else when installing a spool? In an 8 3/4

Yeah you can make a killer sleeper out of it and now you can get some big port cheap aluminium heads and put on it and some underdrive pullies electric fan and you will have a killer sleeper and embarrass some chevy guys🤣 just don't tell them what you have unless you want to tell them that you have a slant 6🤫 🤣🤐

The size of your choice, but remember, your speedometer may be off if you run a different size than factory.

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 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.
