milled heads

that's a pretty funny analogy Mrmopartech!
I'm just trying to get it back on the road as I've turned it from a simple timing chain swap into this: NEW cam,lifters, valvesprings, cylinder head swap, header install with duels
PLUS I'm attempting to install a 5 speed out a dakota and in the process have had to swap out the brake booster in favor of a manual master cylinder brake set up
PLUS I went to change my brake hose and the line snaped off
PLUS I've had to cut a massive hole in my floor/tunnel to accomodate the tall NV2500
PLUS another hole for the clutch/brake pedal asssembly with the clutch master cylinder
THEN install the 8 1/4 rear axle!!!
Kind of a uh... MAJOR PROJECT!!!!!
This is all being done to a 78 Volare so if there are any die hard fans out there thinking that I'm ruining a collector car don't worry about it :-D

So I'm at a point where I might just bolt on my 360 heads 70ccs mildly ported completely rebuilt and just get it back together... you might think it would make it even less of a performer but it's a HUGE improvement compared to what the 318 was running...
Firstly the stock 318 heads are 70ccs, SOOO carboned up that some spots were about an 1/8" thick, the cam had some pretty nasty grooves in it, the lifters were cupped, the valve seals were all in the oil pan, timing chain had WAY too much slack, most of the spark plug tips couldnt be seen due to all the carbon build up on them, had a worn out 2brl on it, and single exhaust measuring 2" outlet
oddly enough I still beat a 5.0L mustang??? :shock:
