What's the deal with the Poly 318

v800 was the factory dual quad 57-58 318 poly actually what Christine would have had in the movie. The biggest detune I ever done was pull the 318 poly out of my 66' sweptline and replace it with a la 318 with the edelbrock performer package never had the slap your head off the backglass burnin tire torque the old stock poly did.

The only reason I pulled the poly was it would smoke a little on start up and I wanted to preserve it so it is still in the storage unit. and the warmed over la 318 is still in use in a 78' short box 4x4.

Negative. Christine was a 1958 Golden Commando. That was a one year only, one engine only option. It was the then new for 1958 Golden Commando 350 cube low deck B engine. First of its kind.
