My version of a factory parts build 318

There is no "best" head for a 318. No "best" aftermarket cam. #302's may be a bit better than a stock #675 318 head and a 340 head better than that. What about aluminum heads. That's a whole other story and selection. Let's not even get started talking about cams for a teen.
It seems that for somebody who wants to get a little extra zip from his 318 can open up a can of worms rather quickly.
