Go old school, and just do some bolt on's. Day 2 ****.
Look closely at this stock bottem end 318.
Sneaky little teen, could put the smack down if your not ready.
Wait a minute...HiPo 340 exhaust manifolds on a 318 ? :)
i collected a lot of money off of the unsuspecting with a 318 that just "had headers and a 4bbl" and looked to be the brother from another mother to that motor, right down to the parts store special chrome air cleaner.
agree to the day two action. throw mellow little cam and intake at it, snap on a reasonable 4bbl and go terrorize the locals. you want the zoom-zooms? build another motor on the side while you cruise around and enjoy the car with that one.
