360 heads on a 318 of any benefit?

It's going to be a PITA to try to port the heads with a Dremel. It's a good idea to get matched valve springs for the cam you end up getting, as the stock valves will most likely be worn out and soft from ~35 years of use. As far as the torque converter goes, the stock one is around 2200 RPM for a 318. Mind you your stall will increase a bit when you increase the torque from the engine. I don't think you'd really need to play with it unless you were making the engine a little more wild.

I didn't realize it was that high. I'll leave that alone then. Saves cash too, always a bonus. A buddy of mine swears by porting the heads with a dremel, his experience was a days work and noticable improvement. The shop costs are just too rediculous to fathom on this side of the pond. You've gotta remember working on domestics for us, is foreign cars for them. It's a speciality field accompanied by speciality pricing. So it might be a PITA but wel worth it.

Thanks for the stock stall specs.
