Troubles with car

You know;t a stroker will solve a lotta problems. It is much ,much easier to build compression with a longer stroke.
But before you get carried away, KB makes a piston, the 167, that has a compression distance of 1.81.This gets the crown up to about -.012 from a 9.600 deck. So on a virgin deck and using an .028 gasket, you might get down to an .050 quench height with closed chamber heads. This would total about 15.9cc from the top of the gasket down. add in the 62cc for the head and you get about 78cc. And that will turn your 318 +.020 into a 9.45Scr, 321.7cid stormer. This is enough compression for
An ICA of 54*
Static compression ratio of 9.45:1.
Effective stroke is 2.78 inches.
Your dynamic compression ratio is 8.09:1 .
Your dynamic cranking pressure is 162.22 PSI.
V/P (Volume to Pressure Index) is 131..............................................131VP

This could be a 262/270/108 in at about 104, a very nice number for a 318 streeter. If you review post #7 you will see that this is about the same VP as a stock teener with the compression optimized. And it's more bottom end than a factory 360 2bbl, about 9.2% more. That 360 would need 3.55s to keep up to this combo with 3.23s, in the lower rpm ranges. That's how you build a strong bottom end without going crazy on the TC.
The 262 cam will powerpeak at perhaps 5000rpm and with an automatic, will want to be shifte at about 1200 to 1400rpm higher so say 6400. That's about perfect for a streeter. The torque peak will come in at about 3750 So if you gear it with 3.73s... 3750 will get you about 30mph in first,and you are ready to take on all comers. Yet it will cruise 30=about 2200 so sneaky-like.
The 262 cam in this 9.5ish engine will easily pull less gears with the stock 1750TC, which with the new-found torque, may pop up to around 1900(guessing). I mean the VP is jumping from 108 to 131, an increase of 21% over the factory teener, and an increase of 131/89= plus 47% over the current combo.

So to recap;
KB 167s,thin gaskets,Magnum heads or at least closed chamber heads, a custom 262 cam, and then the bolt-ons. I recommend of course the 3.73s and a 2800TC but these you can work out later.
