Ok, I didn't go back and see what all your plans are for the 318, but in comparison to the LD4B, I think the Weiand Action Plus is a great intake for 318's. They do have a spread bore design, but a square bore carb bolts straight on top of 'em. I like them better than the eddy performer. Pretty easy to get second hand, and cheaper to buy brand new. Great intake on a stock 318, and a great intake on a 318 with a mild cam, headers, and some head work including 340/360 heads.
