Better Torque From A 318

As far as looking for a fun go fast ride, find a D100 or D150 SWB with a slant six O.D. or a 3.9 and a 5 speed and build a late 318 (or better yet a late hydraulic roller 360) and put a direct high four speed in it and go have some fun with it. You can still find some reasonably priced on marketplace...
i daily drive a 80 D150 step bed with /6 od833 and love it! few ask when im V8 swaping it i just shake my head no!! but it would be so easy to do!!
