318 low-rpm performance ........... for the NEWBE
It isn't hate it just doesn't make sense to cite funds as a reason to not pick up a 340-360 but then dump a bunch of money into a 318. And some of us know in the end these guys would jump on a 340-360 when the right time and enough money permits. If anything its the 318 guys who are the haters haters of the truth. Why dump x amount into a 318 for 300 horse when the same money and labor nets 400 out of a 360. I don't recall Mopar performance offering a Magnum 5.2 crate engine. The thing is yes I understand in Australia a 318 is what's available but lets not BS each other here in the states. No one here has a tried and true recipe for a 318 that is an affordable "340 conversion" But you all still try and discuss it ad nauseum. UTG MI 318 would be a costly beast in machine work alone and why isn't it done yet with accompanying dyno slips? Not hate valid questions no one today knows anything more than 30-40 years ago and lastly I say this if the Chrysler engineers could have gotten the performance out of the 318 they wouldn't have designed the 340. There simply is no performance conversion kit on the cheap for a 318... you guys cant rewrite the facts and call people haters because you don't like that. You guys are so cheap that you know what ? I watched 318 wr video on "degreeing a cam on the cheap..." Im like "come on dude buy a degree wheel dont come up with some BS and call it degreeing a cam. No offense to 318 WR but hokey hillbilly BS isnt the right way. Go to summit and buy the degree kit they arent that expensive and if you are constantly working on engines you need it. Yeah I know Im the hater. :)
