Nick's Garage/UTG 318 Episode

I’ll try and keep this somewhat short.....
For a reference point only.

1990, at a machine shop I was working at there was a disassembled, used rebuilt 318 scattered around the shop.
Apparently it had been there a while...... abandoned.
Stock type short block, rebuilder cast pistons.
Bores looked okay, pistons looked okay, crank looked okay.
Tq and check mains and rods..... all okay.
I’m not really seeing why it was brought there in the first place.
Rebuilt, but used....... but not f’d up that I can see.
I buy rings, bearings, gaskets.

I had taken a low CR cast crank 340 in trade towards one of my other re-ring job motors.
I used the stock replacement cam & lifters, timing set, valve springs, rocker gear, oil pump, and oil pan from the 340 on the 318.
Found some 675 heads, did some mild porting, new guides, valve job, surfacing, etc.
Put it all together with a Performer on top. 1-5/8” headers, and tried a Carter 625 and 600vs Holley on it.
Made about 290hp.
I’d have to find the sheets for the tq, but 325-ish comes to mind.

I sold it to a guy and he put it in a 4wd Ramcharger(had to change the oil pan).
