Hi 318willrun,

First off great thread! It has been the most informative thread on the topic of a 318 budget build.
I have two complete running 318's to choose the best parts from and will be following the steps that you posted

*building a 1988 d100 truck with a some get up and go for the street *
Have - 904 transmission / stock converter / Holey 600 / 340 cast intake

If you find these questions and have the time to answer it would be greatly appreciated!
Could you make a recommendation on the following,

Questions
best cam choice?
KB flat-top pistons worth it or just keep them stock?

Thanks in advance

Thanks and welcome to the site! Certainly the pistons are a great choice. Remember, I couldn't because I limited myself to an "under 500.00" limit. As for the cam, many good choices. Not sure what your gear ratio is, but in a truck you might want something with a 112 LSA, around 212* duration @050. Worst thing is to over cam an engine and have it be lazy from off-idle to 4000 rpm's. I like my cam in my 318, even with stock converter and 2.76's. However, my car weighs 3160 without driver.
