Another “which camshaft” post

No kidding the stock 360 2bbl cam really wakes up a 318. I was doing a budget /6 to 318 swap on a D100 4spd o/d truck and wanted a little pep. Put a mid '80s 318 in there with a $30 new TRW cam on clearance at Barnett Racing, I think it was 252* .410" 109LSA. Even the old Direct Connection "bible" says that's a good upgrade over the 248* .390" 113LSA (?) stock 318 stick. With a '69 Dart 2bbl Carter and headers, it was a high/mid 9 second truck in the 1/8mi, otherwise bone stock with 3.55 SG gears and a LuK clutch!

I have had good results with this in a mild street application. I even ran it in a 318 with stock everything except this cam, a 600 Hooley and headers.
CHRYSLER Summit Racing SUM-K6901 Summit Racing® Classic Cam and Lifter Kits | Summit Racing I do remember thinking "Should I keep this" when I tossed the stock 318 cam and lifters.

But yeah I am not against running stock parts in engines, as long as they check out as serviceable. That Summit cam kit, part of the reason I like it is because of the price :) and it was cheaper 15 years ago. I have one in my 340 with stock style accurate exhaust it sounds good not too loud and a nice low rumble.
