Nice truck Bryan, and those seats-wow! The Li'l Red Express seemed more common.
Sorry about your Dad. Its very hard to lose a family motorhead.
That 318 is about the toughest engine made in regards to overheating. The demo-derby boys up north of here swear by them.
But for winding them out, its not the first I heard of a spun bearing.
Once had a neighbor with a red '69 Dart - put on 340 heads, intake, headers etc, with no work down below.
One 4th to 3rd downshift at a high speed and it was knock-knock-knock.
You cannot hot-rod a 318 unless you get 340 pistons/crank etc. down below.
You'll make your next run up here in that beauty, right?
Bring the Westinghouse console if you do, there is a GE G-95 here with your name on it
