Ramcharger, Trailduster & Power Wagon Grrrr!! Tough Trucks! The Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster were full size SUV's that had good looks and brute strength. The Dodge Power Wagon was comparable to them in toughness, but came in pickup truck form only.

Default motor rebuild?

Hey all, I recently purchased a 1979 Trailduster with a 318, bored 40 over (so i was told), 360 heads, and a stock 2 barrel carb and intake mani. I installed a Holley 4 barrel 650cfm carb and Edelbrock dual plane manifold, tightened it up and it runs now. Need to work on timing, but when i added coolant, even before i cranked it over it started leaking out what appears to be the EGR bypass opening in the driver side head (pictured below) any ideas? I am tempted to just pull the motor and clean the whole thing out too, it had sat for 5 yrs before i bought it and drove it home.

Here are some pictures of the truck
