Making power out of the 318

Exactly. But on the street was a little different. You don't hear any stories about 428s eating Hemis for lunch. Even the coveted BOSS 429 couldn't handle a 426 Hemi, even though it was one of TWO Hemi engines in Ford's lineup. Now the other Ford Hemi, the 427 SOHC was a Hemi killer. But the problem with them was, they were so rare they were almost experimental.

A friend had a Boss 429 Mustang. They were known as slow, he had his engine replaced under warranty. The new motor was very quick, turns out the replacement was a Nascar Boss 429. He made a lot of money with that car... We digress, sorry.
