Any 10 second "All Throttle" 318's in door cars ?

UTG didnt do squat with his 10 second 318 buid. He has David vizard a mechanical engineer trying to figure another 318 build out. I predict it goes nowhere it will cost too much and Tony will bail he wont want to pony up the $$$. This is the reality of trying to build a 318 into a hot performer. Before you all say i am bashing tony I am not I am just calling it like i see it.

I remember watching a UTG video on how the 225 slant was junk, the 170 far superior, blah blah blah. Awhile later another video on how putting long rods in a 225 killed power, blah blah blah. Then a final video where he goes and finds a racer with a 225 built exactly the way UTG said was wrong and gets his doors blown off. He's entertaining to watch, but after that I take everything he says with a grain of salt. My love for the 318 has absolutely nothing to do with him. Oh, and the way he trashed those kids with the Junkyard Jet, and Mopar Al over Slag Hammer kind of sucked imo.


As far as the 318, I see no reason it couldn't be built to run 10's if the rest of the car was taken care of too. As others have mentioned, other makes of 5.2ish engines have been built at the 475-500 HP level so why not the 318? I don't think ANYONE is arguing that it would be a "budget build."
