Why the 318 is a phenomenal engine...

Please take this with a grain of salt.. just because an engine can Rev to a certain level, it Does Not mean it's making power good there, or even running right up there ( missing ign, valve float, ect) that being said, some day were better in the factory than others.. I have heard, and even read here, about 2 of the same mills, acting in different manners, performance wise... OK, now let the show begin!

When I was a teenager my cousin who was a couple years older than me loved 383's. He would turn them 6500+, yes, they would turn that much, but he blew up a lot of engines too.
