Best 273 and 318 builds (NO 360's please)

I agree with all the above except what I am saying about market share. 318s are the untapped market. I have owned Mopars since the mid 80s and 318 get more press now then ever. I am looking at this as someone who is a business owner.

I see. One thing for sure, your dead right about the teen getting more press than ever. I think it's good. The market is very untapped.

Techincally, they are. I guess if a person is consistantly running 10s and 11s, the perception of "fast" may be altered a bit. The majority of new cars these days are stuck running 16s, so it is fair to say that 13s and 14s are quick. The fact of the matter is that times run and whether or not it is deemed "fast" is really a relative statement to what is being run, which is this case is a 273 or 318. 12 to 14 second times for these motors are quick for them and still quick in the overall grand scheme of things.

Not everybody can build 10-11 second machine, nor drive it daily on the street.

I was very happy with the teens performance in my Duster before I sold it. It ran preety good for what it was and had bolted on. Which was basicly it. Just bolt on's and a small cam.

It was a different build than the normal stroked edel. headed combo so often seen and borde with people screaming. It's also a pleasure when you beat another person with what they think is a hot car/engine and you tell'em, "OH, it's nothing special, just the ave. people mover MoPar engine... that lowly 318 with a 4bbl and headers...that's it."
And there jaw drops....LOL!
