Deciding on replacement intake (318, details in post)

J1MMY said

Yep and I initially dismissed it as I want to keep it a screamer. If the bores cannot be honed and the spare 318 I have isn’t economically worth the work I will consider the options.

Mad isn’t it that big blocks are everywhere over here but try finding 360s…that said I’d still put the same effort and money into one.

who told you a stroker won't rev? at 3.95" bore and 4" stroke it's pretty much 'square' after all. revs are down to cam, heads, induction and exhaust as you know. the limiting factor with a higher hp/revving small block mopar is heads not stroke. the reason some say strokers won't rev is they don't know what they're talking about. yes a stroker can make the same power/torque at lower revs as a stock stroke motor, but you then have the potential for more hp/torque if you build it for revs.
lastly is your 318 already in a high state of tune? you say 'keep it a screamer' but a 318 was never that from the factory. did you say your intended useage of the car it's going in? unless it's a dedicated drag/race car how often (be honest) will you rev it past 6k anyway? if you build for best power at 7k and it's primarily a road car you may be dissapointed with it's road manners.
neil.
ps have you spoken to dave billadeau for advice and parts?
