Which heads?

318willrun said

If I was to use magnum heads, I would just put the whole magnum motor in the car. I have a pair of good 318 heads on the car and a good pair of 308's on the bench. I know there is gain going either way, but I'm trying to reach high 13's on a very mild 318. Every tenth counts, that is why I'm interested in different perspectives. Keep in mind, I'm using manifolds instead of headers, and that will help low end torque if I was to use the 308

I don't know how it relates to the 1/4 mile, but I ran 8.91 in the 1/8th with a .030 318, had the typical rebuilder pistons, stock 74 318 heads, no port or bowl work, old wolverine hyd cam, was about 455 lift I think, and a iron TQ intake and carb. This was in a 70 duster, 904 with a old slant six converter, and a 3.23 rear gear. That motor ran hard for what it was! I wouldn't use the 360 heads either, but the magnum motor would be the way to go
