The Truth about 318s

My point with this post was this:

Lots of people are looking at building up their 318 (they've already got it or can get one cheap, whatever).

So they look at the "How to rebuild your Small Block Mopar" or whatever, and think they're getting a picture of what they're up against in terms of trying to build compression etc. but the figures in those books all seem to be off by a large amount. Meaning, its more of an uphill battle than one would expect.

If you go by what the books say, you're going to end up with too big of a cam, or too big heads and kill all your performance.
