Since I don't know/understand much about picking a camshaft, my engine rebuilder suggested this Melling: He said it would be a good choice for my ice cream parlor cruiser (.030 over original 318, LD4B intake, 1406 carb, MP electronic ignition, factory exhaust manifolds, FlowMaster 40s, 2 1/4"...

Summer almost done, I do the 440 swap over the winter and have a badass car for spring, there's no way I'd pick a 318 over a 440 if that was the choice, I've have nothing against 318's but to me that's a pretty easy choice, even would choose the 440 over a 360. For a street car, most self...

Big red X But you only now how to build one engine!!!!! And assume the rest about “US Other Guys.” Prove it! (Nevermind, you can’t.) OPS! You fell for the bait! LMAO! The most uneducated person (completely blind) following a modestly intelligent guy. (Light build on low) Listening to this...

Why do these always turn into: A- don't do anything to a 318, because it's useless, unless.... B- change the heads, install a 4000 RPM converter, change the bore, install a .700 lift cam, and 5.13 gears.

Normally I’d razz ya a bit here calling you a 318 hater, but yea, with an inexpensive 5.9, instead, miles ahead. First intelligent thing you said in months.

Wish me luck as I'm going to be checking out a couple of duster's next week. I'm only asking these questions as a quide, both are 318 cars but one is a 2 barrel. Once the car is home I'm going to check it out completely and if everything checks out okay I'd like to do a 4 barrel swap and was...

...I wonder. When people asked, I popped the hood and showed them my Hi-compression big-bore 318. Man you should have heard that thing. The 318 cam, is not the bad-guy in that 318 engine. Rather, the bad-guy is the extremely low cylinder pressure. Would I build a hi-compression 340 with a 318...

I built a sacrificial lamb for testing of the roots engine for my 70 Challenger. Built it out of what I had laying around out of old 318. Dipped the block, new cam bearings / soft plugs. Had the crank turned, honed the cylinders. New rings, opened up the ring gap. Grabbed a set of 2.02 J heads...

Please help me car is gold don't know cam trans work and any thing else bought as 318 is worked over 360 or I have to take a part car has ss springs and race shifter or your thoughts

Speaking from experience here..... I put a 6 pack set up on the 318 in the 69 Fury ragtop that I had for 17 years. All stock original long block, except I put a 68 340 cam in it. Stock convertor and 3.55 gears. That land yacht would still pull 18mpg if I kept my foot out of it.. not a rocket...

In the video he states that it was on a Mustang dyno. I looked it up and they are chassis dynos so this is rwhp. I have to clarify, the 411 lbs/ft was just one of two similar 408 Magnums he talks about. Both 10.3:1, PIE stage 1 heads, Kegger mods…Difference is cam. The other engine is more...

Provide more details. Original cam or replacement? Long snout cam or short snout? Original washer setup or replacement? Maybe even post a picture of the cam gear before the washer and bolt are installed.

So to get the stock 48* on a 250 cam would be 180 + 48 = 228, 228 - (250/2) = 103 + 4* (advance) = a 250 cam on a 107 lsa and 41* overlap, DV formula recommends a 107.6 lsa, you could make a pretty decent cam for a 318 with a 250 on an 107 lsa no reason to say no cam upgrades, and I'm sure you...

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...

Don't know about cheaper, since the 380hp crate is the same as a 5.9l from a junk yard just with an aftermarket cam and intake. Saying that I'm not knocking the 318/390 it's a cool little build most be happy with especially with a set of headers, just thought if you were thinking about a...

I'm just wondering if its too much cam for my build. Some of the reading I've done is saying that cam is only making about 9" of vacuum max. I need a bit more to run my power brakes. So, that is also weighing on whether or not I choose something else. I just don't want to over cam. For...

I had the same experience with a 318. I believe its the heads holding it back 318s though the lift of the stock cam is just under .400 so it is a bit of an upgrade.

I agree toolman, I think it may be a 318 out of a truck or van, by the shape of the oil pan. I would also assume the heads are from a later SB and not a 340. No X,J,O or U castings on the heads.

2000 stall is stock would work with a mild cam, but a mild cam might be too much with your possible cr to run on pump gas, meaning you might need to run a fair size cam which will want more stall and gears. Even a fairly mild cam would benefit more stall and gears in a 318.

Will do some test with my flat tappet 318 ( 1971 year ) that is in my 68 fury III , ill run a modified 2bbl intake and run another 4bbl intake and 4bbl carb , Guy lost the cam card but its the only specs i have , bought it for cheap , with a double timing chain : i believe its a elgin or old...

No 318 ever came with a 340 cam and very few 360 did, most 4bbl 360 had 2bbl cams.

I'm freshening up a 1974 low comp 318 with a quick hone, new plasma moly rings and new bearings. I done some home bowl porting & port matched the 675 heads with larger 1.88 / 1.60 valves. SCR will be around 8.5:1 with Mr Gasket 1121G (0.028") head gaskets. Using a port matched Performer intake...

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...

For example... my 318 (4bbl w/summit cam) with 2.76's, stock torque converter and exhaust manifolds turned the same time and mph in the 1/4 mile as a factory '73 340 Duster with 3.21's. I was very happy with that :) Cruise 75 mph all day if I wanted to also :)

Without good heads, a stroker won't get you much. Good heads, decent cam, improved compression can get you 325-350 out of a stock stroke 318. And in case you were wondering, John's 318s, stocker type, make somewhere around 400-500 depending on stock eliminator or super stock.

At toolman - The rant is in fun… but honest And what was my reply to that and the subsequent reply to when someone mentioned about the crack in the head? So now we’re on Rinse & Repeat? I like that idea. I did the same-ish, when my daughter wrecked her ‘00 Durango. Nabbed that 5.9 right fast.

Depends on the original application of the cupped washer- I know of at least 3 different depths that were used. Deepest was on the LA 318/360 roller cam engines. They were the deepest because they used a long snout cam and no fuel pump eccentric. Middle depth is a "normal" LA motor with long...

Its been said Im sure before if its stock bottom say early 70s smog 318 it will run put of steam quick at like 5000r pm. It will sound good...

In my experience nothing "performance" Is ever cheap. Its a never ending rabbit (money) hole. I started off similar to you was going to take an 80s 318 and clean it up regasket it add a small cam a 4 bbl intake headers etc. Well I pulled the heads to find that it needed to be overbored pulled...
