I would just buy some engine Tech lifters and go get a cam from whoever you like I'm not sure if I would be using those white box cams but that's just my advice good luck

Yeah.. i actually was just reading up on their whiplash cams and they said anything over 8.6:1 will probably need octane additives. which at 9.8:1 i think i would rather not have to have. "This cam will run on pump gas in a 318 with 8.6:1 or less compression and iron heads. If your compression...

I agree 100%. But by the same token, I can put a complete aluminum top end on a 383 as well. So where are we then? Sure, you can say you can run aluminum parts on a small block and be lighter and you're right.....but what does that do to the OLD and WRONG opinion that a big block in an A body...

Yeah that's the first thing we did when we were kinds in school. Bought a cool car with a V8 and slapped a huge cam in it. lol

I have some pieces to do an economy mileage build, a 69 318 block, an Edelbrock 318 Streemaster, designed for mileage and tork, (idle to all done at 4500) on a stock 318, will be interesting to to see what happens with a custom cam. A 400 cfm Old style AFB or tweaked Thermoquad 273 closed...

SENT A PRIVATE MESSAGE, and here is the PICTURE....

Morning guys, back to work after a long weekend. Got the cherry picker got the 318 out of the duster. Tore it apart and found a something I wasn’t expecting. It sounded like it had a good cam in it when I had it running, so I wanted to take a look. As far as I can tell it says ( Wilson...

I corrected a couple numbers at the start of your post.

383 Magnum was rated at 5200 rpm. If you couldn't get your 383 past 4000, there was something seriously wrong with it. If you couldn't get a 383 four speed to roast tires better than a 318 2bbl, there was something SERIOUSLY wrong with it. (I would guess trash valve springs, or a flat camshaft).

Hi guys Wanting to build a stock spare 318 with a lightly better cam ( 360 2bbl cam ) for my 68 fury , im not in any hurry but i was wondering what was the best option nowadays since the hydraulic flat tappet lifters were or are problematic these days , everyone is switching to roller lifters...

No IMO that's backwards. But it depends. Start with: what do you want this car to do? and what octane gas are you willing to pay for? Ok well since I have been paged and missed it, and since you're willing to set a spell; here goes, Firstly I like that cam. If you want all the power that cam...

Not all that useful experience to mention, you said yourself "assembly line stock". I agree in that form they're weak and burn up easily. Fried my original stock one behind a 318 that probably didn't even make 250 HP. If they were truly junk transmissions though I don't think Chrysler would...

You do not need to go as high as 050 tappet lift to determine if it is SFT or HFT, will not tell you anything. You measure from zero lift to about 0.020 lift. It can be really difficult to get a definite answer because the line between sol & hyd has become blurred over the years, with some...

Cams for 318's

I’m not going to lie this might be too much detailed information for me to comprehend. Time to figure out what all of that means.

My question has nothing to do my cars gearing stall etc.. I was looking over 318 builds for another thread, the guy was really worried about bottom end torque, conventional wisdom on here bigger cams heads etc.. gonna kill low end torque especially with a 318 and make a soft gutless dog of a...

Gotta love those "Thumper" type cams. They call them poser cams because they idle like a top fueler but smooth out at 2000 rpm like grandma's 318. Just the perfect thing for cruising around the car show. Here's one now. A 318 with a Whiplash. Love the sound for sure. Great looking car as well.

Main Details 1972 Dodge (Dart) Demon – original 318 Demon with 59,000 original miles. Original interior intact. P/S, No AC or PB. 408 small block, 727 auto, 8 ¾” rear-end Car converted to disc brakes, 4 1/2" bolt pattern, with all new suspension front and rear. Engine 408 cubic inches. Scat...

For the 318, would the lunati 701 be a good choice for what I'm wanting to do or the 700? I used a compression ratio calculator put in all the required information and it said that I would have a 9.40:1 CR. Is that a good compression ratio for either 1 of those cams? I don't want to have to back...

Im leaning towards the first one as well, and in reality this is to be a cruiser, so I will most likely end up with the gears in the 3.0x or 3.23 range. Using stock rockers means no adjustability....does that mean id use the stock pushrods too? Again, this kinda thing is all new to me. As for...

Already knew i would need 2 cams.. massive difference in 318>390.. This year will just be stock bottom end 318 with heads/intake/headers, 3000# car with stock converter and for now and 2.76s (gonna be granny cruisin for a bit) That's why the very mild cam... reason to go big and not have any...

Why is it only got a 1000 rpm powerband ? Any time I've seen a mild cam swap over low performance stock cam the gains have basically been everywhere they measure 2000/3000 to 5000+ rpms, not just the top 1000 rpm. Why? Your saying a 48* vs 51* is gonna murder the bottom end ? What about if...

My engine builder has suggested the Comp Cams XE-250 or the XE-252. Since I'm cam "dumb" I would appreciate some guidance. Some details about the car/engine to the best of my knowledge: The machine shop performed an .030" over bore on the cylinders, polished the crank and added(?)...

Can't help myself. It looks like a fun cam. Have you used it?

I had some questions about cams and this thread seemed like a good place to post instead of making a new one. I'm new to mopars and old cars in general. I'm used to DOHC motors where replacing heads and cams are almost never done due the cost and complexity, so I know next to nothing about cams...

I've done this swap a time or two. I have used the stock 340 short with 318 heads, and I have used both a stock 318 cam, or a stock 360 2bbl cam; installed straight up. I used a Factory cast-iron dual-plane Small-port, spreadbore intake with a Thermoquad. This makes your 340 basically, a...

All good points, but in his case there is no shop, there is no car, and probably there is no engine. No pistons will be bought, only complaining about a lack of options- same as when he is discussing buying a car.

I have the 108lsa version. Not the best for boost.. but whatever it's what I have.
