Deciding on replacement intake (318, details in post)

Why does it seem like everyone what's to put 360 heads on their 318's? I asked these because they drop the compression off unless you have them milled like 0.070" and that has to cause port alignment issues also wouldn't that affect the push rod length? Just asking as I don't know these things as a fact or from personal experience.

You are all wrong. As stated in post #17, a .040 cut and you have about 65cc chambers in comparison with 68cc 318 chambers. If you also mill the intake side of the head .038 the ports line up perfectly. You go from 170 cfm to 190 cfm or better. Since he is running 273 solid lifter rocker gear, the adjustment will take up and pushrod difference, and probably be closer to ideal. My two cents would be a Holley Strip Dominator intake and Thermo-Quad. Or whatever carb you are most comfortable with. As a side note, those pistons should give about 9.5:1 compression with 65cc chambers and about 9:1 with 72cc chambers. What compression does anyone think can you run on pump gas?
