349 CI on the cheap

I thought or read that the the heads I have are 318, I had the heads cut for the bigger valves? I am using the 600 cfm carb because I got a good deal on it and it was new in the box (75 dollars). I would love to use 302 heads and some spitfire headers, have thought of building my own flow bench to port the 302's, unfourtunately the availability of anything Mopar around me is slim, and when anything goes to the scrapyard it is gone before I get there. I have a set of Dak Headers that have some potenial to be cut and fitted. I have had to get creatative with what I could find and afford. One of these days I would like to build a nice street motor out of a 318.....and you all have given me hope it can be done...
I will be reading and taking notes......


You really need more than a 600 cfm carb to supply the engine, I don't run less than a 750 VS carb on the street. The TQ were 800 cfm's so why would anyone want to run less of a carb?

Also too you hurt the performance on the 318 by using the 360 heads, the engine would make more power and respond better with a good set of 318 heads with the same work done to them.[/quote]
