Keep in mind the factory 318 valve springs aren’t suitable for pretty much any aftermarket performance camshaft …….especially if they’re 50+ years old. Any cam swap should include a spring replacement.

The above video is about him maximizing his 318 at a minimal cost, and utilizing his original valve train to work with the new cam grind numbers. Not "You Should Drop in a 360". 318 ^^^ ☆☆☆☆☆

Just wanted to share the slow build of this 318. I know there are plenty of people and articles saying you can build this or that on a low budget, and we all love the idea of a cheap budget engine build. But the truth may be if you are buying a used engine that is not running, you going to find...

OK, I just gotta know why? In 54 years of hotrodding, never once did I swap to a slanty, lol. Altho, I did rebuild a few. If it's for fuel economy, that's almost a myth. I'm pretty sure that I can get better fuel economy out of a hi-compression, modest cam, overdriven M/T 360, than any...

Get some numbers off the block and heads. Because it's blue, it could be a 72 or 3 with low compression, cast crank, small cam, and small valve heads. . Heck, it could be a 318 and without looking close, you wouldn't know. It's a core.

If Jim's thread doesn't support this 340 making more than 300hp if everything was in decent shape, not sure what would convince folks. @PRH Had a 360 with a 214/224 cam. Car ran high 11's at 3000# Sounded like grandmas 318 Duster.

So a stock 318 with bolt on parts. Yeah gotta have that MSD. They too have failure rates and some of them are quite frequent.

Sir, I don't mean to sound disrespectful but read what I said and you'll see that I was asking if it's to much cam for the 318 that's being discussed that has a 9.2:1 CR. I didn't mean or say that it's too much cam.

It's kind of considered middle ground for a street cam, above this level each step up you generally tend to start really trading bottom end power for top end power and gears stall starts to become more and more necessary. Obviously not set into stone.

At 6200ft I’d throw a stock 318 cam in that 360.

there are several 318/390's on here that rev fine, as mentioned it's more to do with heads/cam/induction. at the end of the day the 392 will only be 0.050" under what's considered the 'majic' 4" bore of a 360 so not what you could really call a small bore anyway. neil.

Well... they took this to a monster 3.95 and made 400 with basically a cam and intake.... so this bore thing might pan out :) https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/ccrp-0401-mopar-318-engine/

It depends on "WHO" is driving the thing. For "one of us" for instance, it wouldn't be a problem. But we have some on here who think driving a three on the tree is a chore.

Hello All, I am pretty sure you can do this but I wanted to ask to make sure. I have a 318 non magnum hydraulic roller block. Can I install a regular hydraulic cam and lifters? I have everything for the flat tappet. Cam, lifters, timing chain and pushrods to match. Using an electric fuel...

What Nice! What intake and cam are you going to use and what are you dropping it into?

276/276 223/223 @ 50 .471/.471 107 lsa installed on 103.4 cut from a stock 318 cam

I don't like this strawman argument, Anti 318ers make it sound these people want to build a 450-650 hp 318. It's like 90% of the 318 threads is adding cam and 4bbl maybe headers and some even want to do something about the heads, wanting something like 250-350 hp, that's like asking 300-400 hp...

i don't care to watch the vidya, can you just post what the cam spec is?

Here are the numbers I got from having a 2000 Ram 5.9 cam run through the Cam Doctor at Bullet Cams: Duration @ 0.050: I/E 189*/194* Lobe separation angle: 111* Lift @ cam: I/E 0.273"/0.278" Valve lift w/ 1.6 rockers: I/E 0.437”/0.445”

yes but compression police say you lose putting 2.02 jhead on 68 318 and thats true but they have never run it the flow matters more cam 484/carb/intake etc then spray erases the comp lost by another 130 hp and gives you loads of low end cheap easy fun

Welp Uncle Tony has moved on from MI 318 ...it seems Bottle rocket is all ya get . What's the recipe...? Hughes whiplash cam with closed chamber 273 heads? sumthin liethat...

I have only run Big Blocks thus far my friend whoooz toilet flushes backwards.

He done at least 3 different 400 hp 318 builds basically 225-245 cams, 9.7-10.5:1 cr, airgap headers, one with magnum heads one with ported 302 heads with 2.02 and one with older EQ then ported them out for 425 hp and and one just added xe262h cam and 4bbl and headers on stock low cr 318 for 282 hp.

I've ran all 3 in 318's. Yes, they'll make a difference, but, neither of those offer any more off idle stomp than the 318 2bbl cam, results are seen once you get it going. I've had 318's that took some getting used to for a new driver because they would lay rubber at the tap of the gas, and...

This video wasn't too bad to watch, he said the cam specs for the 318 should be accurate within a degree or so, sounds like it's should pretty accurate to me.

How about follow 318willrun’s 318 car that performs somehow even though some say you can’t add a cam carb etc.. to no stall and gears and get results.

i will disagree my 340 with the 218@50 454 lift 110 106 is a great street cam some lope would be a even bigger in the 318

I was using the same cam that is now in the 340, .513int/.498exh and I've already checked the PTV clearance when I put it all together, I don't remember the numbers anymore but there was plenty all the way through the cycle of the cam.

Seems I blew a head gasket. Loosening head bolt I noticed two close to the break in gasket were looser than the others. My set up has 11:1 compression with .039 compressed head gasket. I have cometic but they are .020 and will raise compression to 11.6:1. I have aluminum heads. Will this be an...

Care to share why? 86 has yes a roller cam, hyd lifters, 73 340 crank. Would prefer to sell 86 block. 340 internals 318 Blue 72 block would be me goal atm. Maybe get a solid roller comversion. Wanna build a reliable Blue 72. "YOUR MY BOY BLUE!"
