Basic 318 Mods

Wish me luck as I'm going to be checking out a couple of duster's next week. I'm only asking these questions as a quide, both are 318 cars but one is a 2 barrel. Once the car is home I'm going to check it out completely and if everything checks out okay I'd like to do a 4 barrel swap and was wondering what size carb and intake manifold to use. I thought about a better coil and module. A curve kit and a good dual exhaust system. The car will be a cruiser only and probably the engine will never see more than 4500 rpm's. I'm open to a stall converter and a different gear ratio. Maybe even a mild cam.

A curve kit is worthless if you just slap in some springs and limit the curve. There should be more to it than that.

Until you pick a gear and a converter (anything under 3k stall and I wouldn’t bother. You can do almost that with a stock converter.

If you try and dance on the head of a pin without a serious commitment to who you are and what makes you happy then all this is a waste of time.

If you can handle a 3.55 gear and a good 3k stall converter your world opens up.

If you want to run a 2.xx gear leave it dead stock and be happy.
