    Making power out of the 318

    that would entail you actually, you know, getting a car. which, no worries about you losing this little side bet because you aren't gonna have a car by then anyway.

    Hughes HUG1110P valve springs- anyone use them?

    While their springs are generally a good idea, they want to sell you their whole valve train as they say it matches, well I dont like their lifters. They make a big deal about spring wire lock rings failing and use stamped lock rings which they say are bulletproof. Well show me the data where...

    Budget 360 build in heavy car- Which cam?

    With what you're using it for and if you prefer a Howards grind, i'd prefer this one. Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshaft; 1964 - 2003 Chrysler 273, 340, 360, 318 1800 to 5600 Howards Cams 711651-12 | Howards Cams Not much gear and lowish compression leads me to go easy on the intake duration.

    360 head porting for big power (500HP ?)

    Nice reply TVT59! We were always told back in the day you had to have a 440 to run a ten. Never saw any Euro Mopars running 10's with a smallblock. Most of the 340 diehards ran mid 11's and that seemed the 'LIMIT' for them. So we all bought ex Jensen Interceptor 440's as they was common and...

    IM surprised by Richard Holdeners 360 Magnum camshaft swap.......

    The 268/.485 spec cams have been used for all applications for years. I put one in my 454 Chevy powered tool truck years ago. In an engine that big you couldn't even tell it was bigger than stock specs. If you put that cam in a 360 it's a RV cam. You put it in a 318 and it's a hot street cam...

    318 head porting for the average joe

    It's not about staying where your/I'm at, I don't know if you notice but most asking for build advice especially for 318 are generally novist and Super Stock, F.A.S.T, Pro Stock, Sprint Car, Nascar info and mods might be a little above their pay grade while they're trying to figure out which RV...

    318 comp cam

    Hey peeps! Anyone ever run one of these? On their 318? Been offered one of these COMP Cams 20-225-4 COMP Cams Xtreme Energy Camshafts | Summit Racing Hopefully should wake it up a bit as it's the heads and cam that let it down now. 1970 318 V8 stock bottom end Eddie performer intake Eddie...

    LSA Question

    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...

    SBE 318 basic rebuild +CAM , INTAKE, HEADS, expectations?

    Sounds good.. if you want to get it done look at some howards cams in the same specs... they are good about keeping stock
  13. B

    Maybe I've learned a good lesson . . .

    This is the TWO problems I see: [1] You have a heavy car with a small-ish engine. [2] Take the 318, rated at 230 hp. And you mess around with cams, heads & get a 10% increase in hp. That is 23 hp. If you started with a 440 & did the same, you get 37 hp more. If you had a light car like a Dart...

    318 value

    And stop the excuses. It like Ferris Buller. My sister's, cousins, friend, knows a guy who's friend saw a car at 31 Flavors I am going look at. Get a car 1st. Quit worrying about cams, intake, exhaust, etc. You going to start a thread on if nitrogen in tires is better with a 318 next?

    318 cam

    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...

    CAM HELP NEEDED!

    Pretty sure Howards grinds the cams for Hughes engines. If you have a search around on the Howards cams website they have a pdf with all their lobe profiles listed on it, there are some interesting lobes there. Doesn't cost that much more to pick what you want and have them grind you a cam. I...

    Anyone Run a Crane Z-268-2 Cam in their 318?

    I have a similar 318 build with 8.7-1 compression, 2.02 J heads, and I used the Comp Cams XE268 that has similar specs to yours. I installed it 4 degrees advanced and it has excellent low end performance. Out of steam by 5500 but that’s ok. Just make sure the valve springs are spec’d to the cam...

    Roller LA cam into Magnum?

    Yes, that's what I said. The 318 roller was slightly hotter than the 360 roller, and translates into a mild upgrade when installed in a Magnum.

    Small Blocks

    I'll do that. I don't mean to disturb things, it's that I like to read and research things out and sometimes I don't ask questions the correct way

    LSA Question

    You asked pretty open ended question, no mention of 318 just 108 vs 112. And for what you want do you need none of this. You trying to over science a very mild combo. When you get a car pick a half dozen of mildest cams and ask which one peeps would go with.

    SBE 318 basic rebuild +CAM , INTAKE, HEADS, expectations?

    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.

    Small Block Chrysler Racer Brown camshafts

    A friend of mine built a 318 with the TRW 340 repo cam. I don't know if it was the 68 manual spec, but it ran like a scalded dog. You never would guess it was 22 ci down with a set of 3.91's and a stick.

    318 cam

    Do you mean a "stock" 318 ? Or a 318 that has been set up for a large cam?

    New heads

    Why use 62* a comp cam xe275h is a 63* there's a lot more reasonable cams then that for a 318. Like xe250h, 51* or xe256h 54* are a more reasonable choices even the xe262h 57*, xe268h 60* are less then your eg.. I imagine you could fine similar cams to xe250h or xe256h on 108-107 for even...

    Better Torque From A 318

    Most people aren't gonna port their heads and even if they did no guarantee their gonna get great results. So your basically talking stock or pay someone else to do it. If looking for decent power 300-425 hp stock 273/318 heads aren't the way to go. Especially with mild cams and CR. I'm sure if...

    Better Torque From A 318

    Any 318 that runs will produce MORE torque than the 318 you do not have. :poke:sorry Dan, I had to ..... :D

    Nick's Garage dyno's a 318 Stroker.

    Thinking a 318 needs a stroker kit to make 350-400 hp is a mistake. And in a race to 400 hp, at todays prices, starting from scratch, the 318 is still the better buy on the pocket book than a 340. And 318's have roller cams from about '85 to 2002. And if looking for 300 hp for a Dairy Queen...

    Big horsepower 318 builds

    So quick question. There's a few "brand x" 5.3 builds up on YouTube by our beloved Richard holdener. In his usual style he gets a junkyard engine and tops it with heads cam and intake to get to a desired power level. In one of them he's getting 500+ with a pretty mild BTR hydraulic roller...

    Shout out to Howard’s Cams

    I’m sticking in a cam in a 318 this weekend and I’m cleaning parts in preparation. Needed a set of lifters and decided on Howard’s 91711. I disassemble and clean any lifter that goes in an engine I put together, and I just finished these. Gotta say, other than some light machine oil, these were...
