318 build!!!

My current 318's got a tick/knock going on.

Thinking about going with keith black pistons, thinking about kb167 std's, want to get the compression up but I still want to run ~83 if I can.

318's have floating pins so I'd have to match that up right? I want to re-use the rods if I can.

First thing that caught my eye was the "std" pistons.......you really need to measure properly or get it to a machine shop to determine if a overbore is needed.

Your final compression with the kb's and cam choice may or may not let you run junk pump fuel. Again measurements and calculations...

As far as the .454" lift, you can go a little more without guide work, but again, the cam required and the accompanying springs may change that.

I would assume your rod pins are pressed fit also.

I know I didn't really answer any questions, just a few more things to think about...:D
