I found an interesting parts truck today. It's a 1971 Dodge D500 with a 318 (from the vin number), short cast iron water pump, hydraulic bellhousing, 435 transmission, and has a cast iron center front engine mount. Here are my questions:
- Can a front sump oil pan be flipped front to back on a 318, or do I need a new pan?
- The center front engine mount on this engine will sit perfectly on the front cross member of my WC63, but will it raise the front of the engine too high?
- When did the 318's begin having hardened valve seats?
- Other than the vin number, is there a reliable way to ID a 318 vs a 360 in the field?
