318 low-rpm performance ........... for the NEWBE

Has anyone here built one of these so called 318 power makers with dyno slips? Ill never understand the infatuation, I mean if someone with a 318 doesn't ante up the $$$ for a 340 or 360 how are they going to dump the money into a 318? and it isn't cheap I'm dropping a set of j heads off tomorrow it may be 5 600 bucks till the machine shop is done with them. I know you experts will say "Speedmasters" but you still have to have the cash. Alot of bench racin...

I could say the same about big blocks, you could build a 600-700+ hp big block for the effort that people put in building a 400-500 hp small block probably for similar money. Why waste your time and money?


Why do you care what people build, if 318 aren't for you fine, you think there a waste of time and money fine, why does it bother you so if someone wants to build one which usually means adding a cam and 4bbl to a running engine 99% of the time. You keep on bringing back 318 threads from the dead and naysay on every 318 thread.
