"Nicks garage" shows what these engines can do for real. No Uncle Tony fantasy imagination nonsense. There are channels worth watching the thing is deciding if you want fiction or non fiction content. Nicks will show you LA 318 making 230-250- hp and he will show 340-360 making dern near 400 hp . It really is all about what you want to watch on YT. Uncle tony is for couch potatoes, Nicks is for guys actually building engines Just my $.02 IMO there obviously is a lack of information being put out there that I consider to be common knowledge, for example IMO if one were going to do a 318 build these days go with the 5.2 magnum just for the heads and roller cam setup that should be a no brainer. UTG touts that 70s 318 and people the misinformed will run out and get one he should be saying "get a magnum they are still in the junkyards" . 70 LA engines are just old low HP smog engines the 70s 360 was close to being just as bad as the 70s 318. The 360 had dished pistons low compression etc. But the 360 had the bigger valevs and ports even on a 318 you neeed good flow this is why I would choose the magnum if I was starting out on a budget.
