how to get power from a 318

Longgone said
You definitely need to lose that 2.76 and get something higher in there if you want any kind of hole shot and see if you can find a set of 68-71 340 heads,that`ll wake her up!Welcome to the site.
Be carful with those 340-360 heads, bigger combustion chambers = less compression. the 318-360 magnum heads, small combustion chamber- great ports & valve size, seem to be the way to go on the 318, remember you need torque. go with an edelbrock airgap int manifold, 600cfm edelbrock carb, a mopar perf cam for the stock 340, 1 5/8 headers with 2 1/4 size exhaust, a good ignition system, i prefer a msd 6al, at least a 3:55 rear gear. this should make a nice pkg.
