I’m new to this forum, I live in southern Maryland and restore Power Wagons.

the W500 I bought had a non-running 318 LA replacement engine.
I located a 318 poly and had it installed.
my question is whether this is the “truck poly”, a 318-3.
there are numbers on the passenger front of the block,
2468230 (the 6 may be an 8)
on the intake it says
2206383V

what engine is this?
thanks

That casting number shows to be a 318 Poly block.

Thanks!
Can you share here how the number code shows it's a poly? Just curious.
I'm hoping it is the heavy truck version, "318-3"
with hydraulic lifters,

RacerHog

Sure can....

What does a 318 race engine sell for? Casting number below.

I got hold of my machinist, my engine had hydraulic lifters, so it IS the 318-3 heavier truck version. There were a few other features of this truck 318 polywhich were stronger than the car 318 poly. I don’t recall off the bat what they were.

Glad you made some headway on your project... Cheers

Please Start you own trend with you question under Engines. Thanks. Maybe the Monitor can move it for you?

Yes starting your own thread with more information and a few pictures would be helpful, include information about heads, pistons, rods, crank, oil pump etc. and cam shaft. Putting the label Race motor on a $20,000 engine or a $500 engine we don’t know.
