360 questions

From what I see air flow adds more torque engines making 1.2 - 1.5 to 1 lbs-ft per cubic inch have serious carb head cam combo. Not saying you should throw on big port heads cause while it could make more torque per cubic it will be at an rpm not so street friendly unless we're talking big cube engines. Smaller cam carb head combo will aid lower rpm torque but 318 over 360 would probably slightly advantageous to the very low end but a cost to low mid to high. I think everyone got everybody too afraid of air flow yes you don't want hogged out W2 on a mild 318 daily driver but I'd rather make power from heads than cam on a street engine like the new LS and Hemi engines.

Wow! Bro! Hold on a second here! Not trying to pick you a part here but IMO, your a bit all over the place. Let start with the numeric figures of torque you listed stating with 1.2 & then 1.5 and back down to 1.

At 1 ft. Lbs. per cubic inch is roughly a very mild came upgrade and or headers like in IQ52's low compression 360 thread. Very mild build with excellent results for the intended package.

This is a far cry away when you start doing the math.

360 @ 1 lbs/TQ per cube equals 360 of course.

I think that saying adding a large port head is vauge. What is a large port head and when did that come into the picture of possible with the OE poster wanting to possibly try and make use of sealing the STOCK HEAD out for a smaller 318 head?

He is talking about his 360.

Heck! He doesn't even know what the cam is and your advising what about it? Don't do large cams? What?!?!
