318 rebuild/upgrade

I would choose a better cam than one made by Edelbrock if it were up to me.

Yeah, been doing more reading, I think once I've dialed in my combo more (leaving the cam till last), I'll call one of the cam companies with the details for a recommendation and/or custom grind.

And dont forget, with Magnums, you need AMC lifters, and drilled pushrods to keep the top end oiled. So if you can purchase just the cam, and then lifters, you'll be better off.

Yep, I've got the How To books on both "Hot Rodding Mopar small blocks" and "Building Big Inch Mopar small blocks" that cover all the modifications to use the Magnum heads.

Although, now that it looks like it might wind up being a more serious build on the 318, I'm half-way back to using a 360...

And if I'm going to do that it might as well be a stroker...

And then...

#-o LOL!
