TF's on a 318 ???? Oops, another 318 thread...
Most 318 guys just want to add mild cam 4bbl and maybe headers to a running engine, I see few doing full build, but if they do it's usually pretty mild doesn't stop some endlessly telling them there wrong. No one is saying 273/318 is a better platform to make power over 340/360 but some want to do what they want to do. I'm a small block guy only cause thats what I got, but I feel anyone wanting over 400hp should be building big block, a 400-440 with a trick flow top end will smoke 90% of small blocks including 408 so is everyone building a 340/360/408 dumb ???
To me most would be best off starting with in order a running 1st 5.9l magnum 2nd 5.2l magnum these 300-400hp is just 4bbl cam headers away 3rd LA360 above 350-375 hp is gonna need cr and a little head flow work last LA318, lack of head flow and CR is gonna limit about 300 hp same with 273 so a 4bbl headers and a comp x262h is 282 hp @ 5000 hp which if you got a running LA318 these mods are a no brainer above that head flow is gonna need to be addressed.
