Edelbrock Heads for 318
OH, P.S. to all, YEP! I'm a big believer in the 360. It's part of the screen name and I have 3 of them. I like it better than the 400. (Untill I stroke it!)
I've done a number of 318's and 360's. If you can afford to get a 360, go getcha one. If your doing a 318 for what ever reason and not looking for a 360, watch the balance of the build.
The short stroke of the 273/318/340 lacks in torque. Think before you build and cam it.
Mike's reply of why not a 360 has merrit. It really does! But not blaming Mike, but the general forum for replies that scorn the 318 in favor of a 360 when the poster wants help or advice on the teen. This is not helping and is really, in effect also a type of mocking the teen owner looking for help. It puts a cloud over the posters head, like, G-whiz, they act like it aint chit to have one. I didn't even get an answer on what to do except dump it.
No how did that help our MoPar brother or sister?
I came here to help and learn. What about you?!?!?
I started my Duster Project because of this. Not to mention I was missing owning one. Lets see what a few bolt ons can do. Come spring, we'll find out. See ya @ E-twon, Maple Grove or Reading in the spring and summer folks.
So far, Stock '79, 318 in a '74 Duster with a New Crane cam & timing chain from Summit, LD4B intake (Very used) 630 AVS from a 340,(Very used) cheapo air cleaner, Hooker headers w/a Jegs 2-1/2 exhaust. New rear springs on a (Very used) 8-1/4 w/3,21's.
On the cheap and having fun, just because.
I want to note I do NOT think Mike has scorned the 318 or anybody.
like i said before..NO BIGGIE!!!!
No problem Mike! :thumbup: Just seen the post after a refresh.
I agree, knowing the options is good.
