    318 4bbl upgrade. Help

    That SP2P manifold has really small runners so an excellent match to your engine. I ran that same manifold on my 70 Duster 318 back in the 80's with a 600 Holley, fresh valve job, and mild Comp 252 cam. The car had a 904 trans w/2.76 rear gearing. Was an excellent daily driver. Driving from San...

    Not sure what to do

    How did putting trick flows and a roller cam (~size?) work on the 318? I ask, because I've got a mechanically sound 318 and a core 360 in the shop corner. What kind of rpm do you spin the stock bottom end up to?

    Got a new Truck (new to me)

    For those that want to know, here is what a 1989 318 Roller Engine looks like inside: Bolt down the "Spider" and it's ready for the 318 intake of choices. Stock roller cam works well with 1406 Edelbrock 4 bbl carb. 302 factory closed chamber heads Factory 9.2:1 compression ratio Flat top...

    318 4bbl upgrade. Help

    It's probably a great match for a mild teener. Is the transmission shifting correctly?

    Horsepower Estimate?

    That IQ52 motor was 297 hp. much smaller cam 260H (comparable to stock +/-) OP motor has significantly bigger cam, RPM intake, and probably comparable heads (IQ52 put 1.88/1.60 in 318 heads w/throat work), "650" Holley (IQ52: 1850 Holley) Sounds like Crackedback guestimate of 300-350 seems...

    David Vizard - Which to prioritize - PORT FLOW or PORT VELOCITY?

    With a 2500 stall and 3.23 gears, dual plane and 650 carb? That cam is comps replacement 340 HP camshaft with only 218 @ 0.050 duration. Its got all the velocity it needs to fill the cylinders........

    Today is 3-18 of 2024. HAPPY 318 DAY!!

    I am not sure why anyone would be celebrating 318 day when you have 340 and 360 days available cheap. 318 day doesn't have enough daily compression available to be able to run a cam that makes the day torque down low, well, unless you put a 2800 day converter and run in 9n 4/10:rolleyes:

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

    I don't know why were trying to make this 318 work you got a 440, at best get 318 running with minimum cost gather all the parts needed for the swap then swap, or just start the swap now and have it ready for spring. There's nothing wrong if you got a decent running 318 and add 4bbl cam headers...

    David Vizard - Which to prioritize - PORT FLOW or PORT VELOCITY?

    If you go by these formulas for a second (say there in the ballpark) and calculate what's too big for a 318 to make peak power at 5,000 rpms the trick flows come out to be slightly lower than the lowest acceptable velocity. But if you put a set of trick flow on a 318 even with an rv cam it's...

    318 build suggestions?

    These guys did it with iron Magnum heads. A good set of alloy heads and a decent cam with a 4 barrel of course will get you there. I would spend the extra and run a roller. But...........................no you are adding to the budget and it's not a cheap build any more...

    318 build suggestions?

    I don't see any evidence a 318 needs a lot more head, carb, cam etc. To make 400 hp. Look at those 400 hp 318 combos, it's basically headers, airgap, 750, 224-240 cam, 9.5-10.5:1 cr, heads that flow 220-230 cfms, you look at 400 hp 340/360 builds pretty much the same recipe. 400-450 hp...

    273/ 2 barrel camshaft options

    The 273's can ge a little more spendy to do. The pistons are more money that just off the shelf 318 pieces. The cam's and lifters are more because they aren't a generic off the shelf part. The rest is really the same. Pistons from Egge and Kanter (if they are still in business) and cam and...

    318 build suggestions?

    I haven't dyno'd my 318 so i don't want to comment on parts... but i am here to watch the 318 haters go off :) BTW.. i went with trickflows on mine, the price is a little higher than other brands but i have more faith in that company to not send me garbage. Also went with Mancini roller...

    Should I buy this 440?

    Mopar engineers thought dual exhaust was good for 20 HP on a '73 2 barrel 318. How much on a 440 that also had a hotter cam, 4 barrel, and slightly less restrictive manifolds?

    Sizing carburetor

    well, for better or worse, I have a 318 thats about to get a mild cam and probably a TQ. I do have a couple of AFBs on hand too, but at the moment one of those is Plan B. 800 cfm on a 318.. Hmmm....

    Cheap 318 performance mods.

    Personally and in my experience I cant see seeking out 318 parts (302 heads) the natural progression that I went through as a young man is play around with the 318, cam, headers carb exhaust, ran good but want better ... seek out and find a 340-360 ...that is the natural way of things not...

    Stock Cam Question

    Hi everyone. So just got my 73 Dart Swingers 318 block back from the shop. Had it bored .30 over to match the new high performance KB Pistons I bought. Had the stocked heads worked on as well (valve job..resurfaced ect.) Using Stock crank.. Will be changing the 2brl to a 4brl edelbrock..Adding...

    318 low-rpm performance ........... for the NEWBE

    I wanted to put up a post for 318 newbe's to show what happens to low-rpm torque with various cam sizes and compression ratios, so that we all don't have to keep going over the same old questions. And since almost everybody has, or has had, a 318, usually an 8/1 variant, with a stock 240* cam...

    Stroke a 318

    honestly, if you're going to build a stroked 318, I'd start with an '85-91 block. they have factory roller cams, 302 heads. the roller cam is the biggie. you can get it reground, or get a roller cam and reuse the stock roller lifters at a much lower cost than the retrofit roller lifters...

    318 LA build log

    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...

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

    The gain from using the 2.02s out weighs the comp loss i did it with a 68 318 street hemi cam 2.02 j heads torker 650 dp nitrous Had more torque then a 440 375 is cheap if t was rebuilt right speed master heads is the way to go

    Sixpack on a 318 engine ?

    The 365/375 horse 327 had a cam in this range. Speed Pro still sells it. Put it in your 318 along with a nice intake and carb and some headers and see where you go. I bet that 327 had 10/1 compression at least which the 318 lacked. A 300° cam is pretty nasty especially in a small cube engine...

    Better Torque From A 318

    Nothing against research. See my 318 cam thread posts. I do agree there is certainly a wide variance in consistency with respect to seat of the pants power and torque from 318 engines.

    Magazine Builds

    THere really isn't much difference between the LA and Magnum other than the Mag has a little better heads than a LA Teen and of course the roller cam. You can get the same benefit from a 85 or newer Roller cam Teen block. I have one in the garage and some Speedmaster heads in the basement. I...

    318 low-rpm performance ........... for the NEWBE

    Well I got off track but I agree, the logic minded 318 guy will eventually realize that performance with a 318 isn't impossible its just more logical the the 360 . I agree that, a 318 will sound good with a cam but those down in the hole pistons and sub 4 inch bore leave much to be desired...

    5.2/5.9 H.P build guesstimate

    I now own the magnum crate engine Holdener was using for testing. With the 212/218 cam and an rpm air gap it now makes 365.
