Here's some 318 articles

I don't see a 318 as an underdog necessarily, you look at a 400 hp 318 vs 360 it's similar parts, main difference is a 360 is gonna operate 3000/3500-6000 rpm stall to shift points and a 318 gonna need 500-700 rpms more, 3500/4000-6500+ rpm, requiring more stall gear less low rpm driveability...

Short shifting was real bad for me on the 1320, cost me .5 to a whole second! Having been a 440 guy since the 80's I'm now thinking 318's now. A street engine will always be totally different to a track engine ( I think ). Can I run a TEN with a small block and iron factory heads? There are a...

Think the point is there a way to build a 318 to similar specs as the LS 5.3l and get similar hp and torque, Mainly with similar 217 or 221 cams they used with the 5.3l to get 500 + hp.

I say build the 318. Terry Brighton racing built a 318 stroker with Trick Flow heads, air gap, Lunati 243/251 VooDoo hydraulic roller cam. Made 535/535. Pretty much equal to 360 strokers give or take a few.

Got it. My take was simply to make 500 horse. Frankly, I could give two pops about anything Chevy.

I'm not trying to pick on you, overall I don't mind you, but I can't believe your playing the poor little me card and act like the ribbing on you is unjustified coming from nowhere. I could careless if you ever buy a car or build a 318 but you been going on about what seems like 2-3+ years...

I have a 5.2 Magnum shortblock I have been thinking about building to replace a Slant Six in a 72 Demon. A general consensus is to build a 5.9 or go big and stroke it. I already have 2 cars with mild 318 LA builds which are plenty fun but sometimes I feel the need to go with more, which...

Since you're pushing the air in, do a mild build 318 and get the combo to work then fix all the errors, then build with a larger engine combo, you will probably save money in the long run.

I have had great luck with the Edelbrock 1406 600 cfm carbs on the roller 318 engines. Pefect calibration with no goofing around jetting, good throttle response, good idle, and handy electric choke too. They run out nice on many other engines on the engine test run stand too, like a stock...

Hello all. Doing my first engine build and just looking for some insight for those more experienced than I. I have a 1972 360 that is at the machine shop. It will be bored .30 over and get the normal treatment of dip, plugs, bearings, and zero decked. I have found what I think is a good stroker...

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...

You definitely don't need 400 hp to do that. Build a combo that makes peak power around 5000-5500 and pulls to you shift at 5500-6000 rpms think you'll be happy, which be around a 300-350 hp 318 engine or 350-400 hp 360 etc..

And I get tired of people dissing 318s simply because they're 318s. You have a 37k mile 318? Where can I come over and pick it up? I've swapped more 360s out in favor of a 318 than the other way around...

Wasn't made for rpm cause they put a 273 2bbl top end on it, no reason you shouldn't be able to build a 8500rpm monster if you want, the bore is only slightly smaller but also is feeding less displacement.

Rather than spend $2500 on a set of TF heads for a 318, I’d put 1/2 of that money into a 4” cast crank, a set of Scat I beams, and a set of stroker pistons for a 360 block and build a 408”. I’d put the other 1/2 of the money into a set of SM heads during the Black Friday sale. Then I’d be...

The beginning ^^^ of my "participation" (if you will) of FABO, and the eventual start of my youtube channel. 1974 Duster 318 and the below attachment is the "END" of it here with us. What a fun run and years of it. Unbelievable the amount of people that responded in many ways over an "under...

Does that $3k include having to buy an intake/carb/distributor/headers? If the $3k is used up on the engine, what’s left for a converter and gears? Frankly, $3k doesn’t get you very far in an engine build these days. What’s the price for the 318 short block?

Hey @toolmanmike could you move this posting to the "How to build a suped up cargo van thread" :)Just kidding of course!

How close is cutting a 318 at a machine shop to a natural 340. Trying to build the one I just got.

I own a 2000 Dakota with a 4.7 Great little truck for our farm. How do you plan on more power? Not a whole lot in the name of performance parts for that little work horse.

230 cam (which ain't crazy big) and magnum heads equal 400 hp, I imagine with trick flows you still could hit 400 hp with less cam, which way is generally more streetable ? More cam less head flow or vice versa ?

It looks like your trying to get blood out of a stone, I'm all for 2.2l,/6,273,318 etc.. Builds and there are minor gains to be had down low 2000-3000 rpms with basic hot rodding, but it's basically gonna be what it is with what's available to us. There's no magic combination to get 360 cid +...

To me there's two main way to look at a build, build for X power or Y rpm, to build for X power these engines are generally gonna take the same parts but the 318 needs more rpm gear stall etc.. For Y rpm the 318 gonna make less power but need parts that make less power but probably gonna work...

B3422w5 has. I could say the same about big blocks, you could build a 600-700+ hp big block for the effort that people put in building a 400-500 hp small block probably for similar money. Why waste your time and money? Why do you care what people build, if 318 aren't for you fine, you think...

All Junkle Tony is after is clicks, the content is meaningless unless it's used as a guide for what not to do.

...stock low cr longblock 318. https://www.motortrend.com/articles/mopp-0312-318-long-block-bolt-ons/ This one is a complete performance LA 318 build but really it's basically a 5.2l magnum (cause they use stock magnum heads) higher cr with a 4bbl cam and headers...

Mild 318 build up thread…….and only 12 pages? Place is slipping. Maybe add some 302 head discussion into the mix……get another 10-12 pages out of it.

i collected a lot of money off of the unsuspecting with a 318 that just "had headers and a 4bbl" and looked to be the brother from another mother to that motor, right down to the parts store special chrome air cleaner. agree to the day two action. throw mellow little cam and intake at it, snap...
