13's, stock '71 318 short block.

So I guess it's probably not too much of a stretch based on some of the responses.

I've been back and forth between several ideas on which way to go with this car. The main priority is to get it rolling and down to the track. Leaving the stock short block in seems to me to be the quickest path to success because it saves the big cost in machining, new pistons and rings, reconditioning the rods, new bearings, oil system etc.

I have two bare 340 blocks in my garage but I'm looking at several grand to build them when it's all said and done. I'm thinking I can get the 318 to perform decently if I throw the right parts at it, some of which
I have already on hand.

Like I said before, guess I'll just have to do it and report back. I just hope I can stick to the plan rather than waffling back and forth on which way to go.
