Budget 318 build

I've never put 360 heads on a 318 and lost performance. I'll take flow over compression any day. I usually cut the 360 heads about .040 and bolt them on.... (and NO, I've never cut the intake!... LOL).

If all a person is concerned about is "off idle snap", then stick to the 318 2bbl cam and stock 318 heads. But when you can't pass a stock 2001 Buick LeSabre 3.8 at 55 mph, then we can all start another thread :)
