318 build suggestions?
I have a 65 dart GT with a .030 over bore '68 318 with wiseco 10:1 pistons, comp xe274 H cam, dual exhaust (stock exhaust manifolds), dual plane weiand with 600 cfm edelbrock, '73 stock electronic ignition, balanced, high perf valve job, ported heads, carefully timed etc. and it is very fast and still streetable. I also have a dual quad 350 light cammed 64 chevelle, a '41 ford with a pumped 456, and a 13.5 second mustang and it can hang with any of them. The little dart is light and fast and I would estimate about 300 or more horses... a 318 is a good platform IMO. With careful tuning, it will still pull 15" vacuum at idle. (although it took a while to get the right pcv and timing setup).
