Crazy idea for 318

Got this one....How to Build Big-Inch Mopar Small-Blocks

So now you're thinking about a stroker? :scratch:

I kinda of agree with replicaracer43 here, seems like you kind of don't really know what you are asking.

Sure, a 318 has limitations, especially in a mild build where displacement can make up for lack of performance. However, if you build anything without compromise, it should be able to run a number. Like I said before, be prepared to spend almost as much money on the things that don't actually make horsepower.

Spend some time doing some research. Find out why W2 heads or whatever head you choose would be good for your stated goals. Start looking into what cams do. I've been devouring books, (including the stroker book you mentioned above) magazines and reading and digesting things on line for years and years. Get an engine dyno emulator and start plugging in flow numbers and cam profiles. Use online calculators like the ones on Wallace Racing that relate to horsepower, weight, mph and ET. These ideas will eventually lead you to gear selection, tire size, shift points and all kinds of cool stuff that you can figure out on paper before you spend a dime or turn a wrench. You will start to see trends when you narrow your focus.

IMO, your key idea right now is to find out how much your car weighs so you can calculate how much horsepower you need at the wheels (not at the flywheel) to go 11.00. That should lead you to the conclusion that you need somewhere in the neighborhood of 475-500 horsepower before you factor in frictional driveline loss. Can it be done with a 318? Sure! Figure out what it would take to make around 1.6 hp/cubic inch. We've all told you essentially how it can work. It's a race engine so it shouldn't be that difficult.

Again, have fun and tell us how much it costs.
