This is in a 64 Valiant with a OD manual with a 3000lbs kevlar 10.5 clutch.
I had the car on a Chassis dyno
200-225 hp
300-315 lbs torque
I love 318s, disadvantages, or advantages....
I put this motor together with a limited budget and not max hp in mind. 10 years later and god knows how many mile on the road and down the strip, it is still running strong......I will put some spitfire headers on the car in the future. I built the motor with reliability and it has not let me down, now I need to get rid of the 7 1/4 2:76 geared rearend.........
