'1968' ~ 'The Way Mopar Should Have Been'
An Argument
There could have easily been a 318 4-Barrel in a 1968, possibly
called the 'Compact Economy-Performance Car', available only in the >
* Valiant 'Sport'
* Dart GT 'Rallye'
* 10.0 -1 Compression {Flat Top Pistons}
* Hydraulic Camshaft > .430"/.440" Lift ~ 260* Duration ~ 32* Overlap
* Cylinder Heads with > 1.88" Intake Valve / 1.50" Exhaust
* Single-Plane Intake Manifold {ie; 273 Commando}
* Carter AFB {570 CFM}
* Dual Exhaust
We know that the 1968 318/230 HP 2-Barrel was over-rated on HP,
as the NHRA re-factored them correctly to 195 HP.
The 318 4-Barrel combination could be around 240 HP.
Comparable to the 318 Marine which was rated at 240 HP.
