What a clueless bench racer you are. Where is the dyno slip and actual cost on your engine? You would not get a fact if you lost to it.

...is misinformation. The only commonality is crank dimension and appearance. It is not a good base or a performance build. How far did David Vizard and Charles Sevedio get with their performance 318 build...? Just food for thought... trying to mak e a 318 into a 340 is impossible... many have...

Depends what you want, everyone and or project can be different. A lot of built street engines are gonna fall in the 0.9-1.3 hp per cid, 273 = 245-355hp, 318 = 285-415hp, 360 = 325-470hp, there's a lot of overlap, some might want a more wild (say 350 hp) some might want 350hp done super mildly...

I generally agree with your main premise, the powerband and gearing should match the rpms at the mph you'll be using the engine at. And gearing definitely matters more as engines get smaller and or rpms get higher. Problem is stall, gearing and cr seem to be the last thing people want to do...

define performance. 300hp? 400hp? 450hp? i think the vast majority of people would consider 1hp per cube to somewhat be a performance motor. and you can absolutely make 318hp on a beer budget. if the qualifier is 400hp, then no. you can't build a cheap 400hp 318 starting from zero. if...

A 318 bore is big enough for what most will build only the 273 bore size is questionable choice but it's even capable to do 400 hp without much effort. No reason for crazy overbore.

You are giving advice that contradicts the title of the thread. That figures. When you have and have seen results contrary to what people here say and repeat ad nauseum because they don't actually know. Its not hard to get a 318 head over 200 cfm and I have a set over 240 cfm that I ported...

...it. My initial plan was just to rebuild it. But in January I acquired a 400/727 combo and now I’m kinda torn on what I should do. For the 318 build I was considering around 9.5 compression, edelbrock heads, flat top pistons and going for quench, not going ham on camshaft selection, etc...

As it concerns to this post, really is worth build a 390 over 365, is spending $$$ for 25 cid over worth it especially getting a worse bore size along with a even poorer b/s/r ratio. I don't think it is, to me it 318 vs 360 vs 408. Does that mean the OP can't build a killer 390 no but to me it...

Nothing is ever "exactly" the same regarding balance from one engine to another. It will be best to get the reciprocating assembly balanced when replacing the crankshaft. Something a quality engine build should have done anyway.

if you're starting from zero-- like, you need to buy a motor levels of starting this endeavor and you did everything yourself save the machine work, and spent judiciously on sales, used and reconditioned items then maybe you could get it all together for 4~5K

It's curse like 383 is that there's still a bunch of 400/440 around making less sense to build just like 318 and 360. The 413 is like a .065" overbore away from being a 426 which seems to be the right size to make 500-550 hp, I guess why a lot of people build 408-416. Ford and Chev peeps love...

Other engine and transmission let go at the same time. not ready to pay for a new trans and engine yet. I already have the 318 and crank with bearings. as well as rods. I have to build what I have to get it back going before summers over because I want to cruise with my buddies. if time and...

OP asked if KB399 pistons will work for his build. One person in particular tends to get snarky with people when his opinions and attitudes do not align with his. I do not abide that kind of BS and bullies. Considering nobody stepped up that has used these pistons, I checked the manufacturer and...

I have the BB already. 440 MOHO 76' all new parts . Cam, intake, re-sealed & inspected sbe. I need the swap mounts , oil pan headers, & accessory mounts for the PS . Waiting on the headsback from the machine shop.

WHERE IS THAT DAMN RED X???? Everyone doesn't want something that won't idle and gets 7 mpg .. many people just want to work with the original engine that came in their car and just soup it up a little... We don't all need 600hp, if I can get a true 225-230ish hp, as these engines used to be...

I realize and respect that you're an engine builder, and that all clearances are unique to each individual engine but I guess where we disagree is that he wants it to magically fall together and build itself. He was looking for experienced responses to those pistons in a 318. As I said I...

i like their products, but sometimes their customer service puts me off to the point of if i'm able to find it elsewhere i'll go that route. that being said, i like the fact that they offer a supporting cast for the star of the show and it is specifically designed to work together rather than...

update. Still need an engine for my 1941 Plymouth, so I'm still going to build a stroked 318, just won't go into the Duster. My goal was to get information on a stroked teen' motor and got the questions needed. Though it was not originally set in stone, it was more than informative and gave me...

I'm not trying to change your mind think whatever you want. I just don't agree. How's a 360 with modded 318 heads, and a cam about the stock size as a 340 cam with a terrible intake anything like the OP's engine? And it even made 305 hp. Let's put a mild 8.2:1 360 on the dyno. I think the 340...

The stroker kits are pretty much a wash. Reconditioned rods or aftermarket are the same price for either way you go. Machine work for a Teen is no more or less than a 340 or 360 block. Heads can cost more depending which way you go and how strong of a combination you are building but Teen, 340...

I’m working on the same car . Trying to find a 318 poly has been a challenge ‍♂️‍♂️

318wilrun the 272 ford is calling you. It's time for you to build a W2 318. lol The 10's are calling.

I realize that. But if he went 360 magnum and got the 96-up flex plate he wouldn't need the weighted converter. And am I the only one getting sick n tired of seeing an OP asking about a 318 and members at large here, answer the "318 questions" with "find a 360"? Maybe he wants to use what he...

I bought same NOS dual quad thinking I could use on my 340 build(x heads)....not a chance lol. Like you said the outside of the flange vs the port, you could see daylight lol. So it went on 273 for a short stint lol. I love the looks of them. Intake gasket is Felpro 1243 273/318 size. Orange...

I’d appreciate constructive feedback from those who have experience in/knowledge about road track racing on some engine options for an upcoming build. I’ve amateur drag raced since childhood and am interested in starting road racing with a dedicated track car. It will be street legal and...

It's because you can (build a teen) It's all about the underdog. I have a free roller cam teen in the garage and can pick up a complete 360 for $500. I could eat up that $500 in a real hurry trying to make equal power with the 318. It's not about the power or the economics of it. It's the fun of...

Pretty spot on, however I'm not sure about stock 318 having 150 untapped. Those heads suuuuuck.
