I won’t argue that but then again, I think a re reading of the original post is in order to better answer the actual question asked by the OP.
If the question was not, “What can I do cheaply to my current 318”, I’d say your answer is perfect but it’s not along with a bunch of others here making your answer not only wrong but of no actual help to the OP and his quest for knowledge.
Even though it makes sense… but then again, since your suggestion getting another engine, you should have suggested a 5.9. Or a stroker kit for the 5.9, then suggest a blower, aluminum heads, 5 spd manual, F.I. And etc….
Or just straight to a stroker and poked Gen II HEMI with a 10/71.
Why didn’t you suggest that?
And the thread degrades even further with no one giving a **** to the original question. Just spend mo money! And lots of it. Spend it like the U.S. government throws money at its problems, real or perceived, like the Ukraine! Yes, yes that’s it! He should spend billions of dollars stroking and poking his engine and re-upping his drivetrain for his beater
Bali, you got it, you are the man! You’re so freaking smart. Why are you a freaking genius? Oh wait you are a genius that’s right. And you spend money spend money spend money more money more money screw him spend money spend more
