Crazy idea for 318

"There are Super Stock GT cars that run 9 second ETs with '318' engines."

better check out what those engines cost.......they are pretty expensive engines...

it is do able..it just going to cost....and you are going to have to spin the hell out of the engine...which will increase the maintenance of the engine..and cost.


need to get car as light as possible...

I am in agreement, just saying that it is 'possible'. You know Bob Mazzolini, everyone always sites his Sebring GT car as an example of a quick, "stock" 318. Obviously they have a TON of R + D in that combo, really beyond what the average guy in his garage is likely capable of.

And like is oft quoted here, speed always costs cubic dollars. I think the OP knows what he is getting into, maybe he just wanted to confirm his idea. Gotta say though, the Mopar Muscle mag build ain't gonna get it there.

Once again, ported W2s, roller cam, gears, converter and car as light as possible. That is the only viable recipe here with the stated goals and base he wants to build with. :dontknow:
