Planning 318 build for daily driver

Depending on the condition (miles) of a donor motor, you could run the stock long block, or do a re ring and bearing, then a head job to refresh it with hardened valve seats and new springs. Then a stock cam out of a 360 (i think I have one laying around) and top it with a little 4bbl manifold like the Edelbrock Performer and a 600cfm carb, run a 2.25inch dual exahaust from the manifolds and you are good to cruise daily. Oh yeah and swap over to an electronic ignation. Thats what I'd do anyway. Will be good on milage and power and easy on the pocketbook even with some highway gears. I pulled my 318 and 330,*** miles when it was still running and it did not have an easy life. Great motors.
