keep the 318 and get some heads and a good size cam, etc.... you can build a 318 the same as any other engine... onnly downfall is you need good flowing heads because they come with sucky heads and you need to get the compression up with either popup 11;0 pistons keith black makes em or possibly get some 302 heads and a standard piston will keep some decent compression then...

Did you ever figure out what the air - D/A was for that last night you ran? Any weight on the car? Just curious, looking at 64 valiant weights it says they are 2,800-3,000lbs. Say with driver 3,100lbs....or so.....your MPH for Weight shows 249rwhp. My car was dynoed at 240rwhp months and months ago (since been tinkered with, and at 5,300ft d/a) and is 3,600lbs with me in it trapping at 96mph (.....at 5,100ft elevation). Same calculator says I'm running 249rwhp for that weight/mph.. You Car definately runs very well, I wish i could afford some port work by RyanJ but boy are those prices high. I'm sure you get what you pay for though.

jeez everyone is so down on 318's funny part is people build ford 5.0's to run like crazy and they have less cubes... keeep the 318 be different.... :thumbup:

Says the guy's thats 318 was for sale hardly a week ago
