Better Torque From A 318

Dislike, reason being, and IMO on;
The “302” head is because as cast, there terrible. Ported there very good.
The “360 - 2 barrel heads” are the same as 360 - 4 barrel heads.
Just incase you didn’t know but I think you do, but more so for those that are new to MoPars.

generalizations in the case of brevity and all that. your point is well taken on the 302 head, and i would *think* anybody would understand the need to port them (i would hope, at least). however, the compression bump from the closed chamber would be worth the hassle, i would think-- from a DIY/budget standpoint.

while i know that they're the same, most people pass them over for X's, J's or hunt out 4bbl units so i figured worth a mention, especially when that's what you'd be more likely to see kicking around out in the wild.

your point on gears and a converter changing the entire characteristics of the car and waking up a motor is well put. amazing what a little bit of change in that department can do.
