Re: 318 .. 360 Engine ?

a 318 is cheaper to buy than a 360 and doesn't give up much displacement with the 4" stroker kit, 390 vs 408 with both at .030" over bore. also your sump, mounts etc are a direct swap with another 318 block whereas they're not with a 360 block.

Re: Aircon heater vent tube

it looks like the 'thin' one's been altered to fit to me. the 'fat' one looks unaltered for want of a better word. can't you alter it to match the other one?

Re: hudsen mufflers

can't you mount the new silencers back to front or are the baffles inside directional like flowmasters? if not it usually won't matter which way round they're fitted.

The repair isn’t the issue as I can reweld them easily enough, it’s that it will burn and the coating off them
it's fine, anyone asks just tell them it's 'patina' :thumbright:
