318 with 360 heads milling : small valves
Be interesting if someone did a drag and or 0-60 mph comparison.
Of a stock 2bbl 318 with a good tune with optimal performance stall and gears vs stock stall and gears and basic bolt ons 4bbl cam and headers on a low cr 318 vs a stock 2bbl 360 and stock stall and gears.
I ran my low-compression 318 for a short time with 4.30s, an A998, and a 2800 TC, with just a 4bbl and headers. By the math, Zero-slip at 60 is about 4770 at the top of second. On the tach, that was about 5200. I thought it was pretty peppy. I really enjoyed that Convertor.
at other times, that engine pulled a lotta other gears and usually with a 4-speed/od, and sometimes with a GVOD behind that. As far as smoggers go, that one was pretty good.
My son finally made me an offer I couldn't refuse, and I installed it into his D-100 with 3.55s. In the truck tho, it was pretty hard on gas, so a few weeks later, he traded the 3.55s for 3.23s and it still spun the tires near relentlessly, lol. So, I fabricated a long-armed pinion snubber which ended the wheel-hop, at least.
