318 build up...

Wow... I am like kinda sorry that I typed that much haha. I am actually tired from reading it too haha. Its not really that I am having a problem with the parts to use just I have seen and heard of so many builds that I am confused haha.

So really either crank is a good idea to get a few more horses?

For the connecting rods would the 340 reproduction rods be a good choice or should I just go with Eagle or SCAT. The repo rods would be coming from Hensely Performance.

Check out the above link. Its a set of LA type heads making 588 hp with the whole combo. Thats the reason I am still leaning to them. But I was just told that a set of 302 heads with the swirl port will flow just as well and plus they are made for the 318. The X and J heads are made for 360s and I would have to have them milled down so I wouldnt loose compression. A friend knows a guy that has tons of small block heads so I just gotta choose haha.

The intake forum is some where in the same area as this one so just look around for it.

I know that camshafts are about the biggest thing a person can get robbed on as you said kind of. 1000 cams but 900 are not good at all. What camshaft company is the nicest and most willing to listen in everyones opinion? Haha... cant get anywhere with a person that doesnt want to listen to you.

I meant "As you can tell I am NOT sure but give me a break... I am only 17"

Thanks Rumblefish360 for all of your help !
