Is building a stroked 318 better than a stroked 340/360?
I'd get rid of the hp expectation and just put mildish cam 4bbl exhaust tune, hopefully gears & stall etc.. Enjoy then if want more down the road then go next steps to that then, which generally means build a 2nd engine. Good thing is a stock 318 is very low powered and under cammed it's very underutilized doesn't take much to give it decent pep.
