SBE 318 basic rebuild +CAM , INTAKE, HEADS, expectations?

Then as a 318 owner myself.. i will say... go on market place and find a 360.... you will have much more torque and power for much less money.. on a good day you can find one for $300ish.. put in a cam and intake and you will probably be in the same range as the 318 with heads/cam/intake... would be a better bang for the buck.

Different torque converter, different pan, different driver side mount. Have to add the cost of those. Then to make that 360 run, a rebuild to get rid of the dished pistons to help compression , for beginners, no, keep the 318 for a cruiser. Better bang for the buck.
Unless there's something truly wrong with it like a rod knock, rod thru clock, locked up, etc. Then maybe consider a 360 if one happens to pop up...
