I'm not against 318s I'm pretty vocal against people trashing them, when looking for my car that's what I figured I'd end up with, but got a good deal on a car with 5.9 crate. Why so focus on a 318 ? I'd basically be looking for decent good running car with at least any V8 besides a 273 and have a 8 3/4. Chances are it probably will already have a 4bbl and cam in it anyways.
