All for .370 lift and under ........

I've used the 360 2bbl intake/carb on 318's before. It does wake them up a little, especially off idle stomp. However, on this project I'm committed to sticking with the factory '77 318 2bbl set up. I've not done this type of project before, so I'm excited (I know, it don't take much) to see what change, if any, I'm able to achieve.

Different things draw my interests randomly. I'm always curious about particular mods on this n that..
I think it will be a good example of how important a well prepped, not modified...but well prepped set of stock heads are, even to a stock engine. The difference will show how lacking the heads were from the factory.
So many have heads "gone through, or rebuilt" and no focus or attention to perfecting the 'simple/basics' .. n the motor is just different...smoother idle..'sealing valves '..but worse flowing than stock and no top end.
This should do better at all rpms. Granted it'd be nice to know if the lower blend is the way to go...flow bench.. as it would be easier to pinpoint than changing the intake back for a untouched stock peice.


That has me thinking... maybe do all the things you're doing but at 1st...use a bone stock intake that you have laying around only gasket match it perhaps.. after that test... put the version with the plenum modifications on it. To isolate that modification. Either way good luck Tim
