I'm pretty sure it used to be a sticky on either the small block page or the performance issues page...maybe I'm remembering something that never was though...

A new [Edelbrock] air gap is $355 I think from Summit...a new Stealth is $260...the LD4B is a great intake, I won't take that away from it, but I've seen them priced anywhere from $175-$400 on here and that ****'s ridiculous. All too often they're dirty, been messed with, need repair or some...

opinions being what they are: It's an intake, not a museum artifact...anything > $200 for a 30 year old hunk of aluminum is highway robbery, unless it's massaged by someone who knew what the hell they were doing. THIS ^^^ all day long.

Do you already have the 318? or is it that the only thing that's locally available to you?

I guess we should also ask-where are you starting? You say 65 Val, 3 speed...slant car? or 273 2bbl? 3 speed stick or auto? BLUF: Need more info to make any real recommendations.

...where the hell is RRR's thread about building hot rod bliss or whatever it was?? That one was simple!

Oh man, there are so many directions to go here, but first: What is your end goal? What's your budget? Have you researched some of the builds in here utilizing the search bar? Plenty of ways to make a 318 run well, and in a 65 Val, a well built one will move it along smartly without breaking...

Ken seems like a good dude...I've emailed him a few times about regrinding my magnum roller cam to something with a little more oomph. I wish I had to close proximity you do so I could just go to his business and bs with him about it instead of resorting to email (I out of the States, so can't...

318 heads opened up to 340/360 ports...lots of grinding...sounds like what Steve Dulcich did on their junkyard jewel 370hp 318...

interesting article...apologies if I missed the dupe http://www.elgincams.com/campaper.html

This, as with pretty much any thread RAMM posts, has been quite educational and keeps ideas moving in my head.

See, you could've saved yourself some himming and hawing if you'd have just stuck with what you know :lol:

Not for nothin here, but I used to have a Vortech S trim (at the time, the smallest head unit they made) on my Mustang several years ago and while mine wasn't the fastest thing on 4 wheels it was a solid 12 sec car even before the blower...if the vehicle you rode in felt "laggy" to you, then it...

Twin turbos will still be super cool, and while I am certainly a fan of centrifugal superchargers, turbos don't have any parasitic hp loss through the drive system. Properly sized twins along with a carefully selected cam and supporting parts will have a very wide power band while still...

Groovy--twin snails will be sporty and with a handful of decent parts, you'll be able to control your boost with the turn of a knob. I guess your biggest issue will be piping and proper fuel control (I assume you're still looking at the FAST EFI kits? I apologize if I missed it in the reading...

I'm thinking about doing this with the 5.2 in my Scamp...the factory magnum covers aren't the most...inspiring...pieces on the engine.

This is my first time reading this particular thread...must've been buried a few times. Glad to see what you're doing here though. You can tell how light the recip assembly is, seeing all the material removed from the counterweights...I dig it If you're still planning on running a Novi 1500...

Unless you're talking wet sleeves (darton) that won't make the walls any thicker; just replaces the original casting with sleeve material Cylinder Sleeves > Home "Sleeves are available in 3/32” and 1/8” wall for bore diameters up to 5-1/8”. Bore diameters larger than 5-1/8” are stocked only...

Disclaimer: Not an expert; the article below only restates what I've been told for at least a couple decades...it might be a little on the conservative side though.. Engine Block Cylinder Wall Thickness | Grumpys Performance Garage

Starting to make me wish I hadn't shitcanned my stock manifolds...such is life. I could probably find more if I needed to though.

...if you have the money to go fast, being on here bellyaching about how much it costs only wears out your keyboard. Do I wish I could have a really fast car? Sure...but I know how much it costs to get all the things done that I want. And I have other priorities, so the car usually takes a...

Is this appropriate for this conversation?

Here's another one... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/pbb-pb1186n/overview/make/dodge

You ck summit yet? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rnb-594-133/applications/make/dodge?prefilter=1 According to the application chart, fits 1994-2003...sounds consistent with Magnum production dates and has the integrated serpentine pulley (assuming the picture is correct)

And $5K for a top end capable of 8s is a steal, for people who actually want to go 8s and have the means to pursue it. I'm not even sure of the rrvolare's intent. This is gonna come across crass, but it sounds like copious amounts of whining to me...I'd love to have a car that can do that, but...

...and that's just inside the block...let alone the heads and valvetrain...

Has nothing to do with loss of "faith"...but more like everything to do with a slow ramped legacy grind with low lift and ported heads of unknown provenance. I don't recall seeing your estimation on the first page :rolleyes: I am however happy for the OP...that mill in a gutted Scamp ought to...

:popcorn: Gettin' a lil sporty in here again. :rolleyes: Can't wait to see some happy 340 vids and timeslips

Can't wait to see this--when does it get warm enough to start racing up in Winnipeg? I've never been there.

I think he said it was gonna be a 727 behind it
