who has the fastest 318 ?!!!
Digging up an old thread, I hope you guys don't mind!
Im from Australia, where the 360 and especially the 340 are very rare.. at least for a good virgin bore block.. people are asking $800-1000+ just for the block and caps
The 318LA can be picked up for a couple hundred dollars (AUD)
My current car, a 69 valiant station wagon is a factory 318 car, Single turbo and sequential EFI
I plan to push it into the 10's on a stock short block (minus a cam)
Im also toying with the idea of building a new long engine later and seeing how far I can push the 318, factory steel crank, h beams, forged pistons, around 9.5:1. hydraulic roller cam, either some CNC eddy heads or a set of w5's. hughes girdle and all the other required hardware.
Id like t see how far I can push it, im a fan of small inch motors and I think the 318 is very underestimated
