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

There’s a bunch of people viewing these pages that don’t know and are reading up on how to do stuff. Not knowing is OK. Pretending to know, (Not you 273) is another thing. So, reading a recipe or doing a copy cat build (no shame there!) is a great way to get going faster.

I fully endorse anyone that isn’t sure on the route to take with there engine to copy someone else’s, follow a recipe from a book, or just have someone build it for them.

No shame, no harm, no foul.

Go get tinkering and build a beast, no matter what HP level you’re after. Simple rebuild? Go for it! Mild hop up? Go for it! Trying your hand at a street strip machine? Go for it!



No doubt!
Oh definitely following others successfully builds is a good thing, not knocking it.

My point was you shouldn't need someone to build eg.. a 400 - 500 + hp 318 to know it's possible or it's gonna take some Nascar level of a build to do so. If your able to build a decent 340/360/408 etc.. Shouldn't take to much imagination on how to do a 318.
