Best 273 and 318 builds (NO 360's please)
First of all, I want to thank all of you for all the great builds I've seen. I love that there's FINALLY a safe haven for people who want to start with a 273 or 318 block without being talked down too!!!!!!!!!!
Second, to the 8-71 idea,... a common build is to put good flowing 360 heads on a 318. This results in OK power, but a REALLY low compression motor. That got me thinking. (since I've got a couple 8-71 blowers in the barn) What about a stout 318 short block (forged crank and pistons) and a decent flowing but compression robbing set of 360 heads, with one of these 8-71's sitting on top? Am I missing something, or would this be a formula to ridiculous power for ridiculously cheap?
Just a thought!!!!
