yet another 318 build question........

the idea was already there to gasket match so thats not really the issue. and he is going to do some mild porting to help with the pinch areas. he said he thought the intake I had was a bit much for a mild 318. I just figured I am going to pain the intake the same as the rest of the engine and why not just use a cast 340 intake.

My 318 build was specifically looking to emulate the power and feel of a stock 340 using a 318 as the base engine.

My build plan also required that the engine compartment looked stock. That is the only reason I had selected the 340 cast iron intake.

You on the other hand are not limited in your selection.

I think the Edelbrock LD4B or Performer would be better choices if you stick with the small port heads (but I really don't know what Im talking about. lol)
