Inputs on a home built 318 for red light to red light fun
What the OP is doing looks very similar to my latest build.
318 std bore zero decked line bored
cast crank balanced
kb 399's
scat I beams
used racer brown Stx-19 got sick of waiting on a cam this spring found this local
ported 308 casting heads added 2.02s and a good valve job
Edelbrock Torker II its not the best intake i know but its what i could find
edelbrock 1405 carb until i rebuild one my 750 holley
Still shaking it down but it pulls good to 7k even with the babie carb had a demon 850 on it but throttle response was a little lacking i think a 750dp will be about right
I have to change the rear gear its got 2.93s and with the A-833 od trans i have not put it into 4th gear yet. It burries the speedo past 85mph in the 82 D-150 test chassis which is way faster than that truck with manual brakes should be going.
Is it a ideal street engine no way but I enjoy driving like I just slammed my hand in the door.
