Hypothetical 318 Builds

Fun to argue with people that 318s were always low compression dogs. First couple of years they were not. Only when the 340 came out and they needed to widen the gap between the performance of the new 340 and the 318 for the marketing to sell the new 340 did the compression tank.

Interesting note, I was looking in a 1973 Motors Manual and noticed for 1972 the 318 had more compression than the 340 by a couple tenths of compression.
