i said the same thing earlier in this thread, but some still insist that a performance 318 isn't possible and put down any builds that prove otherwise. just it seems because the 318 is worthless. as you say it's still a mopar and it CAN make sensible power for a sensible budget. most are agreed that it's a hypothetical discussion and they'd pick a 360/5.9 given the choice but others just take every opportunity to 'slag' the 318 and the op. there's no need, again as you say.
