Probably a Dumb 318 Question

Block-- 318 .30 over (so 323 :lol: )

Go to .060 for a 327

Crank-- Stock CFD crank

CFD?

Rods-- 340 full floating

New rods are probably cheaper and certainly stronger

Pistons-- Wiseco 1.800 comp height -5cc reliefs

Might want a dome for compression. Do the math.

Heads- Speedmaster valve job/ported

Weigh the costs and compare vs other heads and certainly one that don’t NEED porting.
Flow is king and key. Not the garbage heads that need a grand plus in work. Start with a better head.

Joey N said
Rockers-- want 1.6 or 1.7 (expensive)

1.7 will cost you unless you use a Magnum head from Edelbrock.
That would be a good and interesting move. Intake limited u less you drill the intake face of the head for LA intakes.

Cam-- Herber Roller .500intake .500exhaust 112 LSA 225°/235° @.50 (.530/.530 with 1.6 or .566/.566 w/1.7)
Intake-- Edelbrock Dual plane Air Gap

ICK! Rethink those cams specs!!!!
(Barfing right now!)

Carb-- Holley 750

Good

Joey N said
Headers-- Somethin good

TTI W/360 size port heads

Joey N said
Maybe Deck the block down ?

Yes, to zero deck the piston. Compression is an issue with little engines.

Joey N said
mill the heads down?

Depends on the piston and head on what to do.
Doing one and certainly both will have your intake also being milled.

Let me know what you guys think open to any critiques

Ouch! Rethink it all.
