Sixpack on a 318 engine ?

dano said
Never understood why folks look down on a 318. If a 302 ford and 327 Chevy can make power why not a 318? Yes it has smaller heads (in most situations) Low compression (unless you got an early one) and probably has a 2 barrel intake and shitty exhaust manifolds (performance wise) but rebuild it and as said many time will make power, just at a higher RPM than the 340 and 360.

Put the 6 pack on, be happy, if its functional.

People go with 318s cause they cheap or free...they never were powerhouses unless you are easily impressed. Will they sound good in a Scamp? yes will the Scamp do a "burnout" yes will the Scamp do a 13 sec quarter mile with a stock 318 ? no would it with a stock 340? probably...that's why I look down on a 318 I cant speak for others...
