Thanks for the effort, but I fail to see why a difference in displacement of "only" 22 CI makes the 340 an easily tunable powerhouse but makes the 318 totally unsuited for any performance mods without changing everything you can possibly change, and then still throwing away any low RPM performance.
It's just not logical.
...but just for the sake of argument, how does AJ feel about starting with a 9.2:1 engine?
The early 67-69 variant, or the late LA roller variant that also comes with 302 heads and as mentioned, roller cam support right from the factory.
Also, factory replacement 9.2:1 pistons in a 1970 to 83 "LC" engine could be an option to get that static compression starting line bump, could they not?
