318 Build suggestions
318s are great because at one point they were less than a dime a dozen.. a 4 inch bore is ideal for any small block, and a 318 is "just about there" the reference of "getting a 340/360" is because 318 heads are smaller in terms of the ports also if you are going to take a 318 and put all the 340 360 top end on it it makes sense to use the bottom end also. There is a reason for ":get a 360" it isn't because the 318 is "better" Its ok to go with a 318 because thats all that is left but lets not get into touting the engine as better. the LA 318 was never a performance engine.
