318 Head Opinions

Well, here you go. I may not be clocking any record breaking 60 foot times, but this thing is not, NOT most definitely NOT a dog down low, it begins to wake up as soon as I touch it, and although a gear change out back will improve it, I was suprised by the torque. I suppose it has alot to do with the dual plane/cam/factory exhaust manifold combo, but it pulls strong. I learned that I have a 7 1/4" rear end, and that will be on of the first changes I plan to make, a spring relocation kit and an 8 3/4 are at the top of my list. 3.55's and a sure grip unit are the ones for me. I also learned that the 999 tranny is a NON lock-up version, so I can use 904/998 parts w/ no problems (whew!), and I am stoked about that. But other than that, for street use, my friend, J-heads on a 318 are working well in my particular application, and that is a fact! Good luck!
