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

You guys are exaggerating...

As I mentioned..
It's a good running motor.
I tested compression with a cheapo. HF tool, and simply to confirm that I don't have a DEATH hole and I don't.
107-115 for a 74' oem engine is not bad.
Btw Battery was weak + a fairly frozen oem Ac compressor and all belts connected...
I easily add 10-15psi , when perfect testing.

And this is simply to cure with most likly new rings.
(Cast =30$ ; moly =42$)
a very easy and reasonable job .

it's a damn worn airpump ( as to expect being from 74' )and it needs upgraded sealing for better compression#
I'm just saying I wouldn't invest a penny into that 318 of yours if it were me and I would seek out other options, but then again many here know I have zero interest in making a 'teen into something its not. Again for those in the back "I do not like the 318 or 383" lol. Also it is your money and your choice-so have at it. J.Rob
