318 Build

Gotta agree with the guys here.

[email protected] intake duration, good power and cruisabilty. 1200 - 5500 rpm power band with cruise rpm of approximately 28/3200 with 3.55's.

I did a similar build on a '79-318.
It was a Crane split duration cam, LD4B, 600 Holley and later a Carter (same performance) Hooker headers into a 2-1/2 Jegs exhaust & 3.21 gears.

1st time out was a 15.14 in the 1/4. Pretty crummy on a lot of fronts that did get worked out a little bit. Timing jetting & cooling were the beginning issues. Traction at the track was non existing with the stock size tires. Stock converter.

It needed gears and wider rubber. The car left my possession before I could return to the track. But I know I made noticeable improvements. I think
I could have ran in the mid/high 14's easy.
