One of my brothers brought home an ungodly ugly old Dodge motorhome reciently, that he is going to gut out and use as an enclosed car hauler.

Apparently it has a 318 Wedge motor in it. I've heard the name before, but don't know the difference. Different heads perhaps?





Damn that thing is UGLY! #-o

I had a winnibago with a dodge 440 motor. It was geared so high for gas milage that it had no low end power. The rear wheels sunk about 6 inches while setting in my yard and I had to hook my truck to it to get it out of the rut. I tryed rocking it back and forth but it would not pull it self out of the hole.

USUALLY THE 383-400 B-MOTOR, OR THE 413-426(NON HEMI)-440 RB MOTOR ARE REFERED TO AS WEDGE MOTORS. IT MAY BE THE POLY 318 ALSO CALLED 318 BIG BLOCK, THEY QUIT MAKING THESE IN 1966 I THINK, BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE CHARGERS THAT YEAR HAD THEM AND 1967 DIDN'T.

So, would this be a good motor to hold on to, or is it something that's not that special?

IF YOU JUST WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT, OR FIND SOMEONE WHO WANTS IT FOR A RESTO PROJECT IT WOULD BE OK BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT.
