^^^ 1000% this. snap that bish together and don't over cam it or over carb it. voo-doo science juice box back yard tweaks on the trans and roll that puppy while you build out another motor or collect parts for the chonk block swap. summer's rapidly coming to an end hombre, and darla down...

340 Forged cranks are balanced for heavy forged pistons. If you use one with 318 pistons especially hypers, it's gonna cost heavy dollars to balance that up. IIRC those 340 pistons were around 719grams versus like 550 on the stock 318s. Hypers would likely be less. Save some cash, use the 318...

I agree, But A so called 318 port was basically designed for a 273 an engine that's 45 cubes smaller and that head is not really designed to make any real amount of hp with any displacement. Saying that a 273/318 heads aren't too bad if looking to make under 300 hp with moderate cam sizes. The...

Sounds like you first need to decide what you want. What do you need to get your 273 done? The cam I offered to sell you is as close as we could get to a stock Commando 4 barrel cam. It would work for a 2 barrel or 4 barrel carb. A used 273 or 318 crank should not cost much. Done, nothing...

...this very thing for my 67 318. The oem roller lifters are too tall and the oil band cleared the top of the lifter bore with just the stock 318 cam. If you wanted to bush the lifter bores, i’m sure that would correct that problem. But after all that hassle, it would probably be cheaper to...

Depends on the person. IMHO that is getting a bit more duration than I would want for a street 318. To me 220° @ 0.050" is about the max for a street 318. As you are aware a larger displacement tollerates or likes more duration and lift. Personal preference and expectations vary widely.

I think that much cam with those gears would lack bottom end torque. ....but then he won't compromise on "I gotta have lope".

Yes, the 340s began life painted red. They began switching over to blue late 1970. My April 1971 340 came blue.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I am putting together my 318, and when I try to tighten down the cam bolt it starts to flatten out the bowl shaped washer before it reaches proper torque. I saw torque specs from two sources, 40-45ftlbs and 50ftlbs. Are the specs too high? It's my torque...

What's the specs for your 3/4 race cam?

Replacing a stock cam is almost always worth the effort. But you have to define your goals. If you’re just after a little lope and don’t want to do a converter or gear swap, I’d stick a comp xe268 in it. I have one in a 70, (9.2:1 advertised) 318 and it runs good, sounds good and doesn’t feel...

I was looking at the speedmaster sb heads. Can they be used with stock rockers?. Those a cam intake , carb could squeeze a bit out of the 318 I assume? ... Then drive it have fun and Gen3 HEMI it in the future. ( I have done a bunch of LS swaps , so I am familiar with the EFI world too). Or...

Hughes whiplash cam, edlebrock intake and carb is really the other things done to it. The reason for going MSD is simply because I hate carrying spare ignition and ballast

Have a few 318's that are .060 and one with a purple cam will not run under 200 degrees and heaven forbid you hit traffic or a stop light. The others run 170s and haven't had an issue and I do tend to beat the tar out of everything I drive because my kids love burnouts... So do I. .040 aint nothin

Hey! Yeah I’m going with the 360 Magnum engine which has true 9:1 compression the car will have 3000 stall converter and 3.91 gear set at the drags and 3.55 on the street

The Isky cam above is not over "over cam" for your engine with a 216 @ 0.050" duration. The definition of "over cammed" that I use is when someone put in a cam without thinking about the rest of the engine. The cam is the first thing you pick and that choice defines the personality and usage...

post 30 you said the 340 was 320 lb ft@3200rpm

Hey ya'll i have a 75 scamp..318 brand new from summit 650 cfm avs 2 edelbrock carb........new wires, new plugs, new fuel pump new gas tank new one pin gm alternator and im running hei gm distributor......car runs good down the road but two things when i stand on it at 50 it stumbles hard. then...

Can't wait to see the info for this mid 12 second 318.

Wait; 30>50hp from nothing but a cam-change of ; 10* extra intake duration, and 19* additional overlap, that is only meaningful with headers and a free-flowing dual exhaust? I'm just not seeing it unless the rate of lift goes off the chart, or unless you are including the 4bbl, the headers...

The 350 is making about 30 hp more at 3,000 rpm then the 318 pretty good gain, but the 350 also has better flowing heads.

I believe a 5.3 LS head will outflow a 440 906 head. A 318 is a GREAT set of heads (and more) away. But who is gonna put trick flows on a 318? Black Friday speedmasters? You betcha!

thank you all for the info.when you says logs u mean stock 340 manifolds im guessing.Its a mildly built 318 nothing crazy i really just like the exhaust sound with headers.all of my mopars seem to get 4 barrels,headers and cam lol.any of you know anything about the summit sum-g9140 it shows...

It isn't hate it just doesn't make sense to cite funds as a reason to not pick up a 340-360 but then dump a bunch of money into a 318. And some of us know in the end these guys would jump on a 340-360 when the right time and enough money permits. If anything its the 318 guys who are the haters...

That's good enough to make a 3200 lbs car with the right gearing feel peppy kind of quick. If people want something with some pep but don't want to easily break parts, then that is the direction they should go.

Have a friend that went low 14's with a 318 2bbl bbd (on a 360 or 318, I can't remember) in a D100 Dodge truck (I think 4k lbs). However, stock eliminator cam, stall, gears.

A 340 cam does work great in a 273, 318, and came from the factory in all 340's and high performance 360s. A cam has so much to do with how your engine runs, I would always recommend calling a couple cam companies and talk to them. You need to be honest with yourself and all the particulars of...

Cool. Def keep me posted on any success or lessons... Is there a thread here on your project?

My 66 Barracuda was born with a 273. When I got it there was a 360 in the engine bay. I wanted to go fast so I installed a 170 slant six :)
