No.
Yes. Same block, different stroke.
crank, & heads, same block different stroke crank, & heads, same block different stroke
The 77 has better metallurgy. Any advantages of the 68 318 are not specific to the block.
yes
same block, should fit
First of all there is no such thing as a "wide block" 318.Chrysler corp made an "A block" engine that used poly-spherical combustion chamber heads and then made the "LA (late A) engine using wedge heads.The blocks are near identical and have the same dimensions.Ill-informed persons may have confused the Ford designation "Y Block" with poly head coming up with the misnomer WIDE BLOCK
Yes, same block, same basic engine. I have a 273 with 318 heads on it, and a 2 barrel Holley, but the Carter BBD was stock.
yes, any small block dodge engine ( 273, 318, 340, 360) will fit in there. no mods required.
318
yes it will. i swapped over engines from a 73 and a 76 and kept existing transmissions in place. worked just fine...318 and 360 are same block basically
any 4 speed tranny from a 340 engine will bolt to a 273, 318, or 360 engine as they are all the same engine block.
