318 build check from you experts
Rumble, I think you have a hard time reading between the lines.
No I don’t and I answered his thoughts as quoted by you below and the OP.
I gave my thoughts. Oooo nooooo!!!!
OP mentioned the alloy heads.
No chit Sherlock!!! I even addressed it!
Ooooo noooooo
OP mentioned new pistons.
The rods, as you know are the same between the LAs and sorta worthless in a rebuild.
OP wants a new cam
OP has an AG and several carbs.
The truck is pushing 3800 pounds and the tires will be 28s
And OH my LORD!! I addressed the rest of your quote as well! Holy smackers!!!
I guess AJ needs to take his blinders off!
The only part he might reuse
"mostly because he has it",
That’s not what I read and rechecked twice over to be sure. Perhaps, just perhaps, you should take your blinders off and read what is actually there instead of ASSUME!! You assumed he is possibly reusing the 318. He says something else & it’s not what you wrote.
Oh! You are a 318 hater. Your the one who called it... what was it now???
Ahhh yes, “Is the worthless 318 block.”
That is exactly what you wrote hater.
Truly AJ, reading is fundamental!
But worst of all Spokane is at 1843 ft elevation.
Why would you sacrifice something like 150 to 200 horsepower just to keep the stinking 318 block?
.
Wait a second here. Your telling me that the 318 is going to be down 150 to 200 HP with the parts he has to build it on right now at the ready.
AJ! Stop smoking crack!
Your are insane! But I still love ya brother.
With the parts he has now, I don’t see an issue for a nice daily driver that will have a small but reasonable upgrade in power over the stock engine.
And why would he need a numeric high gears and a 2800 converter?
I don’t know for sure but the OE didn’t do that.
Ya wanna compare a stock cam vs the Comp 252?
I’ll accept your cam vs cam results.
