10 sec. 318?
I'm not saying that the $2400 heads are the "BEST"deal, I just know that Indy know how to make heads flow. My goal was just to demonstrate that there is the potential to build an extremely powerful 318 based engine. The initial question was not "which engine is better to build, a 318 or a 360?" If it were, I'd be on the same band wagon. I like to see the discussions on the build up of these non typical (273-318) small blocks. people have lots of reasons why they want to use a certain block. I personally LOVE 273's. One of my fondest childhood memories was of going to a mopar only drag with my brother and watching a belvedere with an extreme 273, with 14" numbers on the fenders stating 273, destroy the big blocks in the 1/4.
Yes, a 360 is a cheaper starting point with more potential in the end, but it is still refreshing once in a while to just answer the question of "what is the best big horsepower 318 build up" and share ideas.
