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

don't worry bout the 318 hate.... do what you want and your budget will allow... rather have a driving car with a 318 than a dream sitting on jackstands.
^^^ 1000% this.

snap that bish together and don't over cam it or over carb it. voo-doo science juice box back yard tweaks on the trans and roll that puppy while you build out another motor or collect parts for the chonk block swap.

summer's rapidly coming to an end hombre, and darla down there at the DQ is fixin' to head off to college so you best get some wheels goin' if you wanna get to make out point.
