Why are 318's low HP and torque?

Alright. I am seriously considering tearing into my '87 318 block and rebuilding the entire engine in my garage. IF... I do this, I'm doing it right! So I am buying KB pistons, J heads, radical cam.... Will I need a different crankshaft? If so what are the cranks y'all use? I'm going to make some power out of this 318 while it's out of my car. This is the time to do it. What are your ideas guys. I am ready to order all the parts and send the block to the machine shop.

With all the talk about 302 and magnum heads and you're goin back to talkin about J heads? I give up. I'm done.
