bought a 318 for the dak
got it from an 83 dodge 1/2 ton, runs great, no smoke, leaked a little oil, and it came w/ the tranny... i havent checked to see if its the 727 or the 904 but i'll get around to that bc its a 2wd tranny and idk if i wanna run a divorced case or just get the 4wd tranny so i can run a 205/203 doubler. i have the engine stripped down to just the bottom end minus the oil pan. ive painted everything and i have all new gaskets and a new rear main seal for it. i installed new freeze plugs b4 i painted it so im hoping it'll last a bit. the cam is a little chewed up so im going to put a better cam in it as well as lifters, im looking at this 1

Whatever you do, do NOT skimp on the cam. I would NOT go with a Summit cam. Do Comp, Voodoo, etc. It also depends on what you want the truck for, street, strip, etc. You will pay a higher price for a better cam, but it is worth it.
Also, running flat tappet you need to break it in with alot of Zinc and use Zinc oil for it or the cam will go bye bye.

This could be used for a mild build on the street. I love my Eddy Air Gap intake. Start with what you want with the cam first, then head down the list of the other things. Carb, Torque Converter, etc.
