I'm giving some thought to a fairly small Hughes HFT cam for my 318. Their website pretty clearly indicates their valve springs and lifters are the way to go with their cams. I have a good running 318 with good factory lifters, and this cam would be mated up with SM loaded heads with SM standard...

Good information in those discussions too.

These are usually the correct size for 318-360 engines using hydraulic roller cams that need ball / cup pushrods.

Nothing to do with higher lift cams. My Custom Royals had the same system, low compression export 361 engine. 1958-59 Plymouths sold here also used that system, 318 Poly engine with a 2 bbl carb.

a stockish low compression build i like the hughs 318 whipcash cams, google whiplash duster on youtube, it works!!

they shouldn't (famous last words). per their specs they're set up for hydro cams up to that lift, so i'd assume you're in the clear. and they're single spring. color me jealous, that's one of my favorite cams for 318's ETA: the 60779 has single springs and is for flat tappet. 60775 is for...

Read till your eyes bleed then ask questions if you don't understand. :lol:

Oregon torque converter /6 with 318 register. Happy motoring.

Hey guys , have an issue . I have a late model roller 360 la non-magnum block I’m building for my daughters 71 duster. When we looked at cams roller cams were big $$. So I went with comp cams hydraulic . I pulled the pushrods and rocker shafts off my the old 318. When I tried to set it up, the...

All my LA cams from Engle were marked Mopar A I can't remember what they marked the Poly ones. But that's how all my LA cards looked. I will look for some cards tomorrow and shoot a picture. I have a few of their 904 cams one close to that. .504/.515 230@50 110 And a few solids. This one is...

The 160 cfm heads made 1.91 hp per cfm on the 306 (306hp), 2.2 hp per cfm on the 333 (352hp) & 2.41 hp per cfm on the 393 (387hp). They all had different cams, got larger as displacement went up which would also be contributing factor. Be kind of like if we did a 318 vs 360 vs 408 with stock...

Those Whiplash cams can run strong. The key would be to use the ONE small one for the 318 and not the one for the 340/360. But you need to keep in mind, they still have the same requirements regarding converter and rear gears as any other camshaft in their duration range.

Got the little stock bore/stock stroke 318 magnum running a few weeks ago and I have to say that Racer Brown builds the best cams out there, very happy and snappy engine. Engine Specs: -Stock pistons flipped w/ stock rods & crank -Hydraulic roller .565/.565 232-232 @ .050 with a 106 LSA -Mild...

Sebambam, I have used both the Summit K6900 and K50052 in 273 and 318's Great cams for budget builds. With your choice of heads you may consider the K50052. I agree with Icetech and the small chamber heads to boost compression.

US car companies seem to have this pre-occupation with wide LSA cams in production engines. The factory cams in the British Leyland engines had 107.5 LSA. The factory performance cams had 102.5 LSA. A 998 cc Mini engine made 94 hp with one of these cams. That would be 490 hp in a 318 ci engine.

I have a set on a 340 and they work fine. No grinding. Small cam/springs. I also have a set of Comp Cams Magnum rockers (not 5.9/5.2 Magnum) on a 318. They were $600 more than the 273’s. That’s a good looking cam. I have always liked my cams in that neighborhood. My 73 Duster has a 222 @.050...

By middle ground I meant below that is more RV type cams and above is getting more street strip type cams. It’s kind of crossover point it’s not quite rv and not street strip.

for sale are sbm comp cams springs 995-16, retainers 740-16, locks 626-16 and seals 505-16. parts are brand-new and complete (nothing missing ), the boxes have been opened. summit price is 283us$ plus shipping, my price is 260 us$, shipped anywhere in the us. price is slightly negociable...

Searching for information on what would make the best interchange for these two blocks. Prefer to keep the Blue 72 and sell a bare black 86 block and heads. Would like to get adjustable rockers. Wonder if cams can swap/interchange over. Will be mated with a 72 904, 8.75 or ¾ 3.23 489 Thanks in...

Plan on getting some late 60's closed chamber 318 heads, Edelbrock rpm intake, 3.23 or 3.55's 2000 stall So I would need a CR higher than 9.1?

I bet if the factory made a performance version of the 318 during the muscle car era we wouldn't be having these discussions. For some reason people have a problem not seeing an engine as a performance engine if there was not a factory one.

318 wasn't "made" to turn rpms because it didn't get the "good parts" like a 340. I've seen 318's turn 7200 rpms for years with stock bottom end. 340's havent' been made for over 50 years, folks are working with what they have or what they can get. It's ridiculous that we can't get past that...

Factory cams are so ridiculously small, you can make a decent upgrade and add good power from the very bottom and gain a few hundred usable RPM up top. cam specs from my 97 5.9 magnum were 250/264 duration w/ 398/401 lift - similar to early LA 318 cams.

What is the biggest cam you can put in a LA 318? I saw something about you can’t put high lift cams in them without grinding down the valve stem guides. Also, what mods other than springs will need to be done?

Think the point is there a way to build a 318 to similar specs as the LS 5.3l and get similar hp and torque, Mainly with similar 217 or 221 cams they used with the 5.3l to get 500 + hp.

Got it. My take was simply to make 500 horse. Frankly, I could give two pops about anything Chevy.
