318 Build Up?

3.21s will be a limiting factor imo. Since 318s aren't very torquey they need lower gears to get rollin and revin. I would recommend getting a 360crate myself. I have a decently built 318. It's cost me $1500 in the rebuilt motor and should be high 13s my next outing at high altitude, granit thats with a high end/stall converter, 3.91s and some tinkering. Its deadly reliable, its been my daily driver for a full year now, it does get chilly here in the desert during the winter, and right now it's 110* and she gets me where i need to go, and does hold it's own at the track. It's a very baisc buildup, some 360 heads, decent cam, and a performer rpm makes up the top end. Bottom end is stock rebuild, .030over.

If you were in your shoes with what you have. I would, sell the Performer intake for a Performer RPM, you can get about $100 for the Peformer. I'm very happy with my cam, its a Comp hydraulic, .480lift / 280 duration. Make sure you check your clearances, and a pair of '302' cast heads. Somewhere in the 3,000stall range converter and some 3.73s if you can get 'em for your rear...or 3.91 if your up for 'em. And a pair of headers, imo you'd be looking at mid 14s...ish. Of course depending on the weather, i'd be lookin at mid 13s if the d/a wasnt so high right now :cussing:

Heres my teen playing with a modded 340. X heads, cam, single plane, same stall, 3.91s, drag radials. his best for the night was 14.6, mine was 14.3. You can see i'm just kinda walking off the line for the first 20feet or so and it wakes up and goes. Thats where the new converter comes in :headbang: It's full weight (3,600lbs with me in it) and at 5,100ft d/a ](*,)
