Cheaper than dirt 318 build

1990 318 TBI Roller Engine, stock 9.2:1 cr with the 302 factory closed chamber heads and stock roller cam. All Stock.

Add the Edelbrock 1406 4 barrel carb and 2" dual exhaust and you are good to go.

Great performance with the 4 barrel. Just keeps on pulling, never floated out the stock valve train once > just keeps on pulling.

No need to port the heads, they perform fine as they are.

Great drivability, performance, and mileage.

Do it again? Heck Yeah!

Note:
Used to be slant 6 with manual 3 speed and clutch.

(Night and Day difference going to the V8, total different truck.)

Bad to the bone truck, can't wait, lookin at the engine with the dude friday (gonna try to get the whole truck but wouldn't count on it cuz the springs are so much better than mine etc..) I got a lead on a bellhousing to match up the 318 to my 4 speed, and a lead in some 318 magnum heads. Gonna rebuild from ground up, new performance HEI system, water pump, oil pump, plugs n stuff (whatever cam seems like itd work) make everything work how it should. Thannnn... dump it into my truck and start adding more to it. Headers, valve covers, intake, carb, you name it. But afterwards. important stuff first, get her back on the road and in a daily drivable state. I'm probably going to have to get the block and heads milled n stuff... (I plan on driving this Truck a long time) unless they look good, I've yet to see the odometer... or what the gas pedal looks like... but in the process of getting the stuff at a machine shop, should I bore it over or anything special?
