Cams for 318's
Great article, like how they broke down the steps of the add ons.
Was wondering about the compression ratio of their Recon 318 long block? Something like 8.2 to 8.5:1 compression ratio?
Guessing by the looks of the original 318 truck exhaust manifold, that engine probably came out of a 1976 D100 Pickup with the same compression ratios listed above.
Was wondering what the final Results would have been had they started with a 1969 318 9.2:1 230 horsepower stock 2 bbl engine.
Stock 230 hp, with the addition of the cam, 4 bbl intake and 4 bbl carb an upgrade of 100 horsepower.
Puts them at:
230 + 100 = 330 horsepower
Hmmm . . . Interesting Thought.
