318 budget build help?
here is my ultra low buck junk yard 318 build
U-pull it yards and pullathon's are your friend, prices are what I payed for this stuff
off newer trucks and vans, yank some MAGNUM heads, 5.2 or 5.9 keep ALL the head bolts and rockers, you will re use them, $50 the pair
off of an older small block grab the electronic distributor (make sure it has a vacuum advance) and the ignition box, with all the connectors and wires, $15
find a Magnum bolt pattern intake,(LA intake will not fit) Mopar performance Edelbrock, or chinese knockoff (I got a chinese crosswind used off ebay for $65 shipped)
7.650" magnum to la block adapter push rods (got mine from jessel on closeout for $3 each or $48 a set of 16)
smaller 340 cam, around .450 lift remember the Magnum rockers are 1.6 not 1.5 so that .450 lift will become .485 or so, and magnum heads max out at .520 or so

summit SUM-K6900 or SUM-K6901 cam and lifter kit
