who has the fastest 318 ?!!!
By the way, forget hurting that 318. Let me tell ya, I have a "drag park" friend that spun a stock block 318 7200 rpm's every weekend for 4 years. I shift my '85 318 (never disassembled 100% stock block) 4800 rpm's all the time. A friend bought a dart from me 15 yrs ago, and that 318 with 340 cam, 360 heads and TQ turns 5500 rpm's and though the car doesn't get driven much, it is still on that 15 yrs old rebuild. Let your teen run, I'd shift at whatever rpm gives you your best E.T. and let your mind rest in peace.
