Availability... i looked for a couple of months for a 360 in my area.. nothing. also 318s are $100-400... 360s much more if you can find them... or they already have a 318 laying around.. could be tons of reasons.. i could swear we had talked bout this before :)

Especially when 90% of them just want to add a 4bbl and mild cam to a already decent running 318, and get a bunch can't done cause of X and Y, mainly cid and cr. Even though everyone and their bother has done it one or another. My first hop up was a 318 dodge truck, I apparently did it all the...

Funny you mention that story/experience, I am getting ready to do something similar since i wiped a lobe last week. I hope it works as positive as yours did!

Because they come asking about a 318. Not a 360. Now if there's terminal damage to the 318 like a hole in the block, cracked cylinder or something else that would render their 318 unusable and they have to find another core to start with them MAYBE id consider a 360. But again as built 360s are...

Richard gets 350 hp out of a stock 5.9l longblock with 4bbl headers and a 212 cam, I would say the 5.2l would get similar. The 380hp crate engine gets 400 hp with 230 cam so your cam is about in between so I'd say should maybe get the 375 hp. The 5.2l is gonna need about 500-600 more rpm and...

Bullshit

Do you realize that with 3.21 gears, 26" tires, and an A904, your WOT mph is gonna be ~50 mph in First gear, and 84 in Second, both at 5500rpm@10% slip.. So, on the way to the speed limit, yur only gonna hit the powerpeak once. And On the 1-2 shift, the Rpm is gonna drop from 5500 to around...

Some guys are safer with less horsepower so God made 318’s to save us from them and them getting hurt.

Here we go again, another 318 cam thread and the guys that know a lot are giving their opinions. All good until their ego's get in the way and the thread takes a turn. To the op, read through the dozens of threads already written on the subject and compile your information. Contact some cam...

If your 318 has a stock cam in it and the car is for street use, as in 3.23 gears with a low-stall convertor : headers will not make much if any noticeable power gain. This is because the 318 will spend most of it's life at low rpm. If you are going for balls-out fuel economy, longtubes might...

...start with more swept volume in the first place, seeing as it seems your roller has not yet got an engine..... In about 1975, I installed a 318 cam into a 340, and bolted the 318 top end onto that, stuffed it into a 65 Valiant wagon and had a killer street machine. I was 22 years old. 340s...

...cam, assuming that it is serviceable. However, your engine can easily be converted to run a hydraulic lifter, and then you can run a stock 318 cam, or even, a stock 360 2bbl cam. When it comes to bottom-end power, pumping up the pressure is already gonna give you more power. ANY cam with a...

.030 over 383, with a 440 crank, is 432 inches, same as a .030 over Hemi.

Smaller engines definitely can use more gear, even very mild ones.

278/288/112, and 204/214@050 on a ~ 7.8 Scr smogger, with a stock convertor and 2.76 gears. How is your power below 3000rpm? How you liking passing gear at 60 mph?

Hey guys I picked up a 74' DUSTER It's a factory 318/906; AC car. It has longtubes on it and a factor 8-1/4 rear end. I posted on the BIG BLOCK swap section as well since I have a MOHO 440 that I could swap in the DUSTER. However I also consider to keep the 318 (if it's a good runner) Throw...

Also, the Mopar TSB 18-16-92 rev a made a difference. It idles smoother and runs better at low RPM. My commute to work is 3.8 miles roundtrip, so I haven't driven it much after "setting" the fuel sync. I'll drive it some more and see how it is. I will say that this motor pulls much better than...

agree. if you do need to swap the heads at some point I'd look at upgrading the cam if it's a stock 318 cam.

May want to rethink using the '69 thin cast iron water pump, possibly going with the later aluminum better flowing water pumps. Along with this comes a radiator with passenger side lower exit, later timing cover with timing marks on the driver's side so you can see them. Realignment of the...

I used a comp XE250H in a similar setup - mid 70s 318 with ported closed chamber truck heads (very similar to the 920 castings) edelbrock performer manifold with 625cfm carter AFB, headers and 2.92 gears. Good power bump from stock but nothing crazy, it was a pretty good setup for a low buck...

Why? 4.04 vs 3.91 ID. That is .13 of an inch. Not worth the expense. 340 power was in the combination of heads, cam, compression, ignition curve, exhaust, and induction. It really is that simple. 340 blocks are a little stronger, but they are both made of good material. No one wants a...

Then get the 1.6s if that's what you want. If I HAD 1.5s already, no way would I spend on the 1.6s.

Used 318 roller cam and hyd roller lifters out of '85 or '86 Chrysler. $175 shipping included to US contiguous. Perhaps a good candidate for an Oregon Cam performance regrind? Since no one was interested in the complete 318 I've been offering I decided maybe someone some of semi-desirable...

right now it's a 318 with trick flows, roller cam and rpm intake (was worried bout hood clearance).. i think a lot of guys needing 700+ tq/hp haven't had that on the street or are doing mostly strip where it makes more sense. but that's just an opinion.

Wow Boosted !! thats a nice improvement !! reminds me of a similar situation for me years ago : my 340 was broken and I threw a 318 in just to keep racing it ran 13.20s ( 318, 360 heads and a 340 cam , 904 , 3.91 gears ) I had a 10 converter .. I put in a Turbo- Action 8 inch ( still have it...

You have a good collection of parts already for a healthy 318. If it turns out to be a bad rod I would just eagle sir or summit rod it along with some kb167 and a. 028 head gasket to get the compression up a bit for the healthier cam you are running. If it needs to be bored, and the crankshaft...

:lol: :lol: Ya, that's for another thread. In fact there are a couple 318 cam threads up right now.

With more lift and exhaust duration Richard Holdener got 350 hp out of a 5.9l magnum.

Thanks i have a summit racing down the road and so i look at there Summit brand Cam packages since they are well priced and decent quality. DODGE 5.2L/318 Mopar small block LA Summit Racing Camshaft Kits - Free Shipping on Orders Over $109 at Summit Racing i am also looking at the...

I'd look for a cheap intake and carb and mild cam get the 318 running and driving, when ready down the road swap in the 440 and sale the 318.
