For those of you with the standard 318 Industrials in your bombardiers what kind of performance can you squeeze out of them. Has anybody played with cams or switched to 4 barrel carb? Any idea what the Hp and Tq ratings this motor has.

Yes,
Bought a new Weiand 4bbl mani, ( don't fit, front of thermo housing hits back of water pump.)
mine a 313 industrial dodge poly head engine 1962. )
So Itraded a guy in the USA for a stock 4bbl cast intake and bolted a 650 cfm Edelbrock off road
carb on. had to make new throttle linkage hook ups, water hookups, etc..
Nite and day performance. 35% more fun. not much more gas either !!!!

I have a spec sheet for 1962
15 passenger wide, 313 v8 = 145hp.
4400lbs, width 78" 4:10 ratio
I have the 4bbl = 30 hps
and headers = 10 hp
electronic ignition..
==== be pushing 185 - 200 hp.
now that is 1962 specs. don't know what the dyno would say ?
12 passenger narrow 251 6 cyl = 115hp
4200lbs, width 59" 4:10 ratio.

Thats a good idea, I heard that vapour locking is a big problem on these machines. Do you have any pictures of your bombardier? I think we would all like to see it.

We searched high an low for a new cam amd finally sent the original out for regrind. If any one wants the numbers I can supply them.
If I wasn't such a fan of poly engines, I would have never gone this way.
Oh well it sure been interesting

We are having trouble with overheating with or c12 with 318 chrysler with auto transmission. We thought a cowling around fan would help. Does anyone have experience they can share with us. We are in Southern Ontario near kitchener. It was 2 degrees with heavy but not deep snow. The cab was very warm. Is there any way to control the heat or is it strictly a funtion of the motor heta level?

a cowling helps,and a six blade fan...and be sure to put a new thermosat...they can get nice and toasty inside when there working a bit,hard to control the heat..open a window or the hatch..
