so i have a 66 monaco and as it was canadian built it came stock with a poly 318 two barrel im looking for a poly 4 barrel and any other ways to pep this motor up with out boring it out and any quick tips for lowering the rear end

 

hello, and welcome. the 4bbl is gonna be a tough find, i spent yrs looking fo a stock manifold for mine,
search ebay, i saw a 6bbl manifold for 1 up for sale a wile ago. also try a machine/engine shop, i asked a local shop yrs ago if they could find me a aluminum 1, they found 1 for about $300 new. lowering it... is the axel above the springs or below?

 

the spring is above i believe i just dont want to start hacking at my leaf springs

 

I used blocks on my '68 Fury, but the springs were under. Good luck, man!

 

you can take the perch off of the axels and weld them back on so the rear end sits on top of the springs

 

ty now im killing myself looking for a 4brl intake for the poly as well as headers anyone have some sites or ideas of finding one, wasnt even anything on ebay

 

I know of a place that is a HUUUUGE mopar dismantling yard, but I'm having trouble coming up with the name. I'll look in my favorites, though, to see if I was smart and saved the site.

 

WHEW, found it. These guys have some odd, wacky stuff that is hard to find.

thanks a lot only issue now is shipping and as my car was built in canada no us companies show a poly 318 listed for this car

 

polara/monaco/fury they all had a 318 poly and are damn near the same under the hood so headers should fit for any of theses car

 

on my monaco the rear was already on top of the springs. i used 3 inch lowering blocks and air shocks and it sets my car down pretty good. as for the front i ust adjusted the tortion bars. i am debating on changing to 4 barrel aswell

 

i cranked the tortion bars but worried about tire wear and i tore my throttle cable and for the life of me cant find a replacement for the 2 brl poly 318 only some universals out there

 

I had the same problem with my Fury at one time, and drove everywhere with a hand cable, much to the delight of my friends. I finally just made a universal work, but I wasn't thrilled about it.

 

well i found an awesome parts guy in canada not far from my area that ships and now im torn between 4 brl intake and some mods or move over to a 383 or 440 for parts availabilty

 

I hear you there. I went through months of indecisiveness before deciding to rebuild my 318 and warm it up. Those big blocks sure are cool though!

 

A guy, here at my office, has a '66 Coronet and just bought a 2 x 4 bbl intake for the poly block for $300. off of Craigslist. So, they're out there!
