318 For Fun

I agree, I wish someone would do it LOL! document their "318 power making adventure" I already stated how far I'd go, but I'm sure someone crazier than I would do the block mods, the overbore with high comp pistons etc. I would be interested to see what degreeing the cam would do in a stock LA 318 that's low buck, save for the cost of the degreeing equipment and timing set.

I think you're spot on with the progression. I would have to back up on my Swinger. The prev. owner split the single exhaust and made it into duals. I still have the 2 barrel and stock 70-318 under the hood. The closest chassis dyno I know of is a hour and a half away but the local drag strip is only 20 min. May be I should take the ol' girl out for some baseline runs. A performance increase would give me a percentage that could get close to a horsepower number.
