Anyone here building mopar 318's? Found a lower gasket set complete in garage. I have no use for them, so does anyone need them?

If it's not for a while yet, you might consider doing some easy basic hot-rod stuff to it for now...I think I even have some parts laying around that'd work pretty good.

I'd be fun to do the baseline run at the track, do some basic mods, then see what the improvements are...just a thought.

yep...im going to rebuild the stock 2bbl so it moves under its own power. ren like ass, im guessing because the carb had old gas sitting in it since like '90. car has 30,xxx miles. fired right up, but did not idle for shit. did points, condenser, cap, rotor, adjusted timing..etc. Figured the carb needed a going thru, as it appears to never have been done before.
