318 Build suggestions
F#@K THE LS I am so sick n tired of hearing about an LS this and LS that like nothing else exists...
He’s just mentioning “The Other Guys” as an example. Nothing about putting a LS in his ride or suggesting that someone else should.
The take away here is;
1; We have a gaggle of 318 haters.
2; The gaggle of haters, while making sense that a bigger engine is better, a thing I will not disagree on, will shame and stomp on the 318 & it’s owner until they ether submit to there rantings of spending more money and throwing away there 318 or just skip building something all together. Or at least print, but yet forge ahead on there own because of the internet bully system of shame and ridicule of building a smaller engine and/or not having unlimited funds to drop on another engine combined with then having to get ride of the so called “Junk” engine because the internet said it is so.
3; The general forum will suggest a larger engine. Again, while it is a good idea, the above #2 is the prime reason IMO for the most part why you will not see many people build a 318. And this is “The Shame” this place faces. Instead of helping a fellow MoPar brother out, they just **** on him & his 318.
4; The comparison of our brand “M” to C & F or others is something you can directly engage in even though there are some concessions to the Apple to Apple comparo. It can not be helped. There will always be something to quibble over. So take it as it is delivered (OEM) and work the issues to overcome the competition. Capitalize on the strong points and address & maximize the weaker points.
How to fix the problem?
I suggest addressing the issue of bigger is better to a guy that may not be able to afford it or have space to get another engine and/or combined with a lack of funds to throw away a otherwise perfectly good engine, or a rebuildable engine and just simply help that person out.
The short comings of the 318 vs “The Other Guys” can be addressed.
ADDRESS THEM AND HELP OUT THE SEEKER OF HELP!
That is unless you think a MoPar is inferior, unworthy hunk of junk. If so, just move along to the nearest LS/Coyote forum and have a nice day......
