That's more believeable than the Motor Trend 318 already and I don't even know the rest of the details.

Correct. But how far does he want to go and how much money does he want to spend on a 318? Unless he's going to add a roller cam, some exotic heads, turbo or blower, he's not going to make a huge difference from what he has now. That's why I recommended sticking with what he has.

...wrote it; In the same sentence, the piston is at the top, then it is coming up. So, wth stroke is it on at what time? Looking at the factory 318 cam specs, with the cam installed 4* advanced, the intake should be opening at about 12* before TDC and closing 48* After Bottom dead center...

idk, the crossword? research 318 cam specs? go out to the garden and pick veggies? call around town looking for a set of magnum rings that apparently nobody has sitting on a shelf... i mean, lots of things... woah. wait. what was i saying? man i am hungry all of a sudden. anybody else want a sub?

All that's true. What's also true is, not everyone wants a 360 in every application. THe 318 can get some really good mileage that's tough to get from a 360.

I know it's not cheap but I hope you get a chance to dyno it. Sounds like a fun combo.

Red "x" time, no "run a 360" please. He asked about building a 318....

Haha.... we said the same thing at almost the same time ;)

Just so you know; a 318 is just the equivalent of a big-bore 318. So, anything off a 318 , except the piston assemblies, will swap over. Except the 65 and older heads, sorta need the matching bolt-angle intake. So then; if you intend to put a 4bbl on it, at some time in the future, IMO, I would...

hang on... a 318 that ran as good as a 360? This can't be soo..... i am told they are boat anchors :)

Right now there are two issues I am facing: stumble right off idle and major bog when secondaries open. Idle mixture screws set for highest vacuum (21" Hg). Accelerator pump in either position did not affect situation. Metering rods adjusted 2 rotations from bottomed out. Air valve wound up...

on my 318 roller engine, the cam swap, 4 barrel carb intake really did wake it up, but it wasn’t until I put some magnum heads and long tube headers when the combo really came alive!

my 318 reved with the street hemi cam 2.02s torker door stop and a holley dp it was the best sounding small block ive had sounded better then my 11 to 1 340 gk243@50 108 lsa 508 lift cam torker door stop holley dp most like because the rhoads lifters dumbed down that cam

I guess you are wrong. Post #17 has a 100 horse power gain with just a cam change.

Also dont get a smogger LA 318 and expect to tune any more than the given 150 Horse out of it...same with any other mid 70s era smog engine. AND, unless you arepaying top dollar you can expect any Mopar engine in a car to be either A: needing a rebuild. or B: already been gone over who knows how...

Yeah, you start using more lung power with a stroker and you're gonna need better heads real quick.

My Duster with a 318 that was 9.4-1 comp, Edelbrock heads and intake, NO whiplash cam, ran 11.70s 1/4 mile, it had to make around 300hp i figure.

I have had a 650 Mighty Demon on my 71 340. Fantastic, problem free

honestly, if you want a 318, try find a running 318 magnum. clean up the heads with a little bowl porting & 5 angle vj, trim the guides a skoash, get hughes #1110 springs, thin head gasket, rering, get the roller cam reground by bullet cams using their HR259/316 or HR259/326 lobes on the...

Did you check PTV clearance on the new set up? I know you said you bore scoped it and all…but it’d be good to be sure. Also, what cam were you running on the 318? Did you degree it? My Victors have almost .200 valve drop (don’t remember exactly at the moment) on the exhaust…that exhaust timing...

20% Read the comments in the above video, the Sorta Stock owner of the 318 Magnum talks about it, along what the cam grind numbers Crowler helped him select. Thank You... ☆☆☆☆☆

Need a 340 cam or a tich more. Port the heads and use inexpensive LS 5.3 valves. 1.9"/1.55". You do need to install either the LS powdered metal guides or bronze guides, with the 8mm diameter. That also opens the door for beehive springs, retainers and locks. Go for it, only 22 CID difference...

I know there are scads of "318 cam" threads here. The op needs to read up on the volumes of information already written and compiled here. BTW, there are Melling and Sealed Power cams available for mild small block applications...

i wish i could spin **** that high.. i tend to chicken out around 5500.. i worry too much bout **** blowin up

Nice! No doubt it would like a lot more cam with the converters and gearing, but at least you had the right mindset and optimized the drivetrain for the 318 incher. I’ve always liked the ‘62 Belvedere. If this is the temporary motor, what does the future hold?

Yes! Do it. Send it done. Absolutely go for it. Cam size determines RPM range that works in concert with your converter, gear ratio, tire size and cars weight to achieve the intended goal.

I was under the impression the 5.2 and 5.9 Magnum roller cams were a bit hotter than the LA roller cam, which did, in fact look pretty near identical to the FT pre- LA roller cam. I've asked in a few places if the LA roller version at least had faster ramps to take advantage of the rollers, but...

Almost identical, surprised can be cut from a 318 cam.

I addressed that in the article. The factory cam is just too small. 240/248/112 with an Ica of 48*(4* advanced already) IIRC that cam is about 196*or 192,(I forget which), at .050 Performance starts around 220/224*@ .050, or around 60*ICA Every 6 or 7 degrees is about a cam-size, so the...
