Edelbrock Heads for 318
"Sorry for Hijacking your Thread" But I Just Gotta Say I Dont Post here Very Much As Im on the Other side of the World! But I Do Read Heaps & I Find it Very Informative,I Think you can Learn Heaps from the Likes of RumbleFish 360 & BJR,Moper & Many Others on Here as what they say is From Experiance & Some Really Great Advice..
"Being this thread is about the 318 Im Doing one at the Moment & Plan on Running it in a 64 AP5 Safari Wagon which is Basically the same as your Plymouth Valiant A Bodies over there."The Plan is to build a Good Toy for the Weekends to Play around with I Would like to Go around corners at the same time Go Down the Strip Hopfully do a low 13 to High 12s its Going to be a Manual & Currently Runs on a 26" Tire Would Like to Go to those TorqueThrust 2s in 17"s.
"Plans are 318 with a Solid Grind as Ive already Got 273 Adjustbles Ive Looked at the Compcams XS268S But after reading a LOT of Posts Ive Decided to Go Smaller Like a XE262H or 265DEH But I Dont think these are Solids & Do They do a Solid in the 262s Or is There others that you Guys can Point Me to?? Intake?? What Type I Already have a Holley Street Dominator which seems to be a Copy of the 273 Original But its Alloy & a 4 Barrel,Have Looked at RPM Airgap?What do you Think??Heads was Going to go 360 as I Have Both 587/915s But Have Canned this In Favour of 318 Heads(675/920s) Maybe fitted with 1.88 int,1.60 Ex & Fully Ported or would 1.94 int Work Better?? But Cant Do 302 Heads as they Hard to Get Here in NZ So will Use what I Got,Also If I Do Go for a Cam I Will Go for the Complete Lifter & Spring/Pushrod setup, But this Worries Me If I Increase Valve Size Wont that effect the Springs that will come with a Cam Kit??Also Rear Gears are a Choice of Many Ratios as I Have many But I Was Thinking 3.45/3.50 or 3.70/3.89s what do you think?? Also what Carb maybe just a 600cfm Vac Sec??Also what Ingnition & Dizzy?? :scratch:
