How to Build a Cheap Engine - Roadkill Extra

Dulcich is the kind of neighbor every car guy wishes they had

[jellymagoo]

Wow he just nailed a 5 minute monologue with no cuts, no breaks, no mistakes and he never once said "uhm" . Good job Dulcich!

[jeffparris]

Dulcich has really grown in this role. Or maybe I've really grown to respect his insight. Awesome dude.

I think you guys should start putting Roadkill Garage on Youtube now.

Man I wish I could hang out with this guy and learn things from him. There's just no one around here that wrenches and actually knows what they're doing and the science behind it. Keep making the videos, love em!

Idk why so many haters. Trolls wish they were half the gear head this guy is. Great video

318s were definitely not hotrod motors from the factory but anyone who has ever owned one knows that they’re astoundingly good for their intended purpose: cheap to operate, friendly, long lasting, relatively fuel efficient, torque factories. They even sound good with the right exhaust. It’s one of the greatest V8s of all time.

Cheap power house 403 olds. Get a set of 350 heads, add the 403 valves, upgrade the cam, headers, do a tune on the q-jet & the hei. Easy 13s. Engine Masters should do one.

Love that Dulcich gets into a lot of MT videos

Easy. 1: buy junkyard 318 in good condition.
2: buy dremmel, port and polish exhaust ports, and only port intake (non polish).
3: buy cheap Edelbrock intake.
4: buy cheap Edelbrock 4bbl
5: buy headers
6: buy quality spark plugs wires & spark plugs.
7: buy Comp xe264h cam

Easy 320-340hp out of a 318, for around $1, 200

As a fan of 318's and 265's I love this. Here in Australia, the 245/265 always out-performed the 318. We always wanted the 340 but it was rare. Still is. There were 3 different versions of the 318. Truck engine, family car and Charger.

My sons 72' 318 is getting Magnum heads, LD4B, and Summit cam.
Check, Check, and Check.
👍

[joselemans]

I think I speak for everyone when I say we want to see more of Dulcich!

[irmabecx]

I love those "Direct Connection" valve covers! <3

When you know your job, you talk about it with ease!

the 318 was a wusser motor but it was the cheapest to add power to for any car I ever had.

my 70 dart with a 318 2 barrel ran 16.9 at 78 mph. A few weeks later, used holley 4 barrel an headers and the car then ran a 15.1 at 89 mph. Still slow, but at the time the new mustangs 5.0s ran a little slower with my dads 85 vette with a chip ran 14.6 to 14.8 so for the time, it was an ok little engine for the used parts that it took to wake it up a bit.

The 318s that he said were over rated did spec out at 320 ft lbs of torque which the numbers I got at the track appear to support.

I had a 318 in my 67 Charger in High School, it was slow, but what a great car.

[dennis]

It's about time I see some Dodge motor info. It's usually always GM. Thanks for letting me know that my 318 is a boat anchor.

[mikecorleone]

My stock ford 390fe also is known to be a snail.. just putting long tube headers on it, pertronix ignition and a 4 barrel intake and a small holley carburetor really woke her up.. she loves to sing now

[Vcali-cobraV]

this is an interesting piece that might suggest an entirely different segment. Perhaps one that goes over some of the less appealing motors from various families and what solutions there are for making them into powerhouses. Dyno graphs and testing would be an awesome addition too!
