I was under the impression the 5.2 and 5.9 Magnum roller cams were a bit hotter than the LA roller cam, which did, in fact look pretty near identical to the FT pre- LA roller cam. I've asked in a few places if the LA roller version at least had faster ramps to take advantage of the rollers, but...

Almost identical, surprised can be cut from a 318 cam.

You forgot the orange paint, even if it's a 70s blue paint motor, the orange paint always adds extra power.

I addressed that in the article. The factory cam is just too small. 240/248/112 with an Ica of 48*(4* advanced already) IIRC that cam is about 196*or 192,(I forget which), at .050 Performance starts around 220/224*@ .050, or around 60*ICA Every 6 or 7 degrees is about a cam-size, so the...

thanks. interesting he chose a single pattern. i thought it looked familiar... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hrs-710991-08/make/dodge#overview

That's what I was thinking. I want to be cruising around post apocalypse Mad Max style

I will say though.... i saw a documentary where one of the top DV proponents spent over a year building a $15k+ stroker ford with a dv cam.. and in the end it got smoked by a nearly stock 318 built by a caveman that uses cinderblocks to deck a block...... soo.... you may be right.. (it will...

Mild 318, 600 elec eddy, cam? only pops when starting and that's only once in awhile. Pretty sure it's not carb, last summer was carb playing and had 3 different carbs on there and it did it with all 3. Car runs great going down the road it's just that occasional pop when starting. I'm thinking...

PM me for my buddy's contact info. He will build you a custom carb that will change your entire view of how to fuel an engine. J.Rob

600cfm is kind of large. Whatever happened to the 390 Holley's? I used to run consistent 10.58's in the 1/8th with 3 on the tree, 198 open 3:23's, M-1 intake 318 BB or a Holley 2bbl off a slant. Stock valves and cam, Hooker headers with a H pipe crossover duals out the back, with Superior...

The design is identical. The 318 was hobbled with low compression and a crappy emissions cam. A quick cure is to install a 360 or 340 cam. Fixing compression and bigger valves with minor porting wakes them up more at minimal cost, far a snappy street engine.

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

Long/Short has nothing to do with size Short Block = Block with crank cam and pistons, no heads Long Block = Above with Heads Modern era Small Block (Mopar) 273, 318, 340, 360 Big Block (Mopar) 383, 400 440 (426) Alan

Could do it with Bloomer heads. They make great power Not sure how much a 2.08 valve would be shrouded, but high lift 230@50 roller, 13 to 1 compression, good intake and carb, good ring pack, think it could be done pretty easily.

The biggest aftermarket cam I’d feel okay “recommending“ for a totally stock 318 is an Isky 256 Supercam. And even that might be more than the stock springs are capable of dealing with at higher rpm. The 2bbl 360 cam is fine, since they use the same springs as a 318.

For the price of tearing into a 318, a low-ish mile (read 150,000) 5.x is, I maintain, a dollar for dollar, labor vs labor better deal for the hundred HP you gain while retaining good low end torque if using the magnum cam.

In post #17, I posted where 4bbl and cam add about 100hp and 50tq, that seems to me a worthwhile upgrade, not saying to use that cam but does shows there is some potential in a stock low cr 318.

Do not burden yourself with all those whose first response is to build a 360. Nothing wrong with 318 engines. Yes it is easier to get 400HP out of a 360, but sometimes you go with what you have or have available. What heads are you thinking about, and valve sizes? Aluminium are lighter and not...
