I gone and done it....
I did it, I'm a mopar guy now. I'm new to mopars and this forum, and I'm also very excited. My name is Collin and I live in NW Ohio with my wife and two girls, I'm 38 blah, blah, blah and I just picked up a 71 Plymouth Valiant Scamp for $850.00!! I've been driving by the car for months now, and I finally stopped and talked to the kid selling it. It's in great shape. Very solid and sound and dang near completely rust free!(Which is unheard of in NW Ohio) I'll try to get some pics posted over the weekend.

318
OK, so I've been scratching my head as to what to do with the motor. As of now the motor just purrs and humms right along. But, me being me, a guy and a car nut I've been thinking about what else I could put in there to replace the 318,maybe a 340, 360, BB or whatever. But I got to Googling today and started reading some stuff about some 318 build ups and squeezing 400 horses out of a 318. It got my attention and I think I'd like to stay with the 318 thats in the car, keep the original motor in it and just build it up. My only concern is if its streetable, and for me it has to be, the car wont see any track time...I want some lump/loop with the cam, but my power brakes too...any other ideas or suggestions? What have all you other 318cid owners done with yours? Maybe a 360 IS the way to go.....

I had a Dodge truck with a 318 Stroker engine and it screamed. Now I plan to do the same thing with my 318 in my Cordoba.

Hey Collin!
Long time no see there buddy boy! Hope you aren't spreading your thievery around the Mopar forums too.
Where are my canopies? Did you sell those to by your car? Did you change your name on the other forum so you could hide? How about those other guys on the other forum you ripped off? I'll be sure to steer them over here.
No disrespect to anyone here, but Collin is a thief. Don't not buy or sell anything from/to him. He'll be your friend up until he owes you something. Then he disappears.
Sucks to have that kind of rep following you around eh Collin?
If you can't remember, I'm the guy you stole from and refuse to answer my emails. You just refuse to make it right.

We do not know either of you and being fairly new here myself I am here to learn about my B-Body and see what others are doing to restore,modify their cars.
I am not taking up for anyone here,but it seems to me we need to get to know each other and not attack someone publicly. If you have problems with someone this isn't the place to air your grievances.

theres a difference between following someone to be a dick and another if the guy ripped you off. if someone took me to the hoop, i'd probably do the same thing.
now it would be hilarious if in true bugs bunny montage style - he got a part time job,
ed his check, bought a mopar, argued with his wife over the car, started fixing it, argued with his wife over the car, joined the forum, participated and got to know the members, ran into issues fixing the car, argued with his wife over the car, asked questions, then called out the guy who supposedly ripped him off.

My name is Matt, I don't own a Mopar and don't plan to.
Collin Brodine has ripped off a few ppl this year including me. If you don't like getting ripped off, don't conduct business with Collin. What makes this whole thing stupidly silly? All he has to do is walk his lazy a$$ to the post office and mail me my stuff. He'd prefer to be called a thief instead.
BTW, if I was lying, he would have posted a retort by know. He's already logged in and read the news. Doubt you'll see him again.
If you want proof, I have plenty of that.

I never said you were lying. If you had read my posts I said I wasn't taking sides. Just would have liked a little information. Doesn't matter if you don't own a Mopar. I would say it would have been better to have a intro and the facts of what happened

Ok here's the deal, Colin if you owe this guy, make it right.
Plain and simple.
We don't put up with this sort of crap here. Sort it out and don't get us involved as it's not our problem and if he did rip you off like you say, thanks for the heads up but settle it someplace else.
