Re: LeRoars current status

I don't think so, but from what I remember, the crankshafts and the oil pans 
still interchange between the two blocks.  I just read this not too long ago 
when someone wanted to build a poly 318.

Its the headbolts being in a different pattern on the two blocks which 
prevents you from using the finest possible modern heads ported to the max 
with a wild cam and high compression and a great induction system that makes 
a giant HP Poly hard to do.  Get a 340 or a 360 block from a car or truck of 
most any year and build that up.

Some guys stuck with the Poly and have made suprising HP with their 
ingenuity more than anything.  They just matched all the parts together and 
wind up with one sweet 318 and they have come up with a way to stroke those 
old engines too.

It shouldn't take too much research on the web to find some info on the 
Poly.  You just have to search it 12 different ways or you can get lucky 
quick.

My day had a few cars with the 318 poly.  They were hard to kill.

I don't think Hughes makes poly 318 parts, do they?

Thanks,
