^^^Hotrodding started right after WW11, and her was little in the way of factory performance engines in the true sense. Yes some had more power or potential.
Take the current crop of poly 318 guys. People that enjoy the challenge of making more power with a head that they understand the limitations and potential of. Is it cost effective? Maybe not in $$ and cents to many. But they have the knowledge, the desire, and the $ to cast a better mousetrap and pay to have a little more for such. Is it smarter to dro the poly and add th 383? Maybe yes, but the kid already has the poly and maybe it an suit his needs?
Same can be said of the slant folks.

I wouldn't waste energy trying to make a utility engine into a performance engine is all I'm saying. Its just senseless dicking around and wasting time and $$$. Put a Edelbrock intake and carb on a 70s 2 barrel 318 why? if you do that you should do a cam also if you don't have the $$$ you are pissing into the wind. yeah you can say wrenching on a poly or LA 318 is fun but when you start talking about computed 1/4 mile based on 60 foot times it becomes hogwash. and bullshit is all I'm saying. Ya may as well race Briggs and Stratton lawnmowers and talk chit too.
