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 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 :)

Lol i didnt mill mine when i put stock 360 heads on a stock 318 it was weak as pond water i couldnt pull a hill lol maybe shaving them down .40 would help idk how much does a machine shop charged to mill 40 tho off i could always try both i already have the heads wouldnt be that hard to swap them back out
