318 head porting for the average joe

You are giving advice that contradicts the title of the thread.

This all started of cause buddy said x heads are for 7000+ rpm 318/340/360 and I disagreed with that, and you took issue that I said 318 heads where only designed with around a 273.

That figures. When you have and have seen results contrary to what people here say and repeat ad nauseum because they don't actually know. Its not hard to get a 318 head over 200 cfm and I have a set over 240 cfm that I ported myself. 200 cfm is plenty for an engine up to 400 HP.

I never said 318 head can't be ported or can't be ported to 200-240 cfm and make decent power, What I've said most people won't port heads which leave running some kind of 340/360/magnum head the main option for making over 300 ish hp.

What you refuse to acknowledge porting is not gonna be an option for the vast majority, that's what we've been arguing over all these years. And below

Go put a ported 318 head on a 360 and see how that performs.....It may actually shock you.

I don't doubt but if porting is on the table why port 318 heads to 200-240 cfm when you can port 340/360 heads to 230-270+ cfm or aftermarkets to higher 300+ cfm ?
