I would never rag on a guy that wants to build a stout 273/ 318 for any reason. I just understand, and I'm sure the guy building the killer 318 does too, that there are easier/cheaper/better mopar ways to go fast.
ANYBODY building a Mopar knows there are cheaper ways to go fast.
Yes and the guys over in the poly 318 group that spend more $$ on their builds, and they have even cast an improved 4 bbl intake for it and it costs some $$$.... they can make so me very respectable street power and they do it because they want to.
