Big horsepower 318 builds

Here's probably the tf used with the 217 cam to make 500 hp with 5.3l and mopar tf but there has been no signs that the mopars tf would do 500 hp with a 217 cam.

Interesting to compare the flow differences. Those are anywhere from 10-20 cfm better at every lift point. That's a big difference.
