I have the best of both worlds. My '69 Dart which has Doug's headers on a 340, has a high torque mini starter. It works fantastic and clears the headers by quite a bit. Definitely the way to go in this case. My '69 Valiant which is a 318 with stock manifolds has a high torque regular Chrysler...

Junk yard jewel talks about how to build a 400 horsepower 318. I don't know if this has already been mentioned, if it has I apologize for the repeat.

I bet most of the so called 318 fan boys would agree a 340/360/408 etc.. Would be a better starting place, the thing is if someone wants to build a 318 for whatever reason there some 360ers that can't wrap their heads around it and dog on every 318 thread, instead of being like ok not my thing...

If you build a 318 340 snd 360 with stock bore and 3.31" vs 3.58" vs 4.00" cranks, would be 318 vs 333 vs 340, 344 vs 360 vs 367, 384 vs 402 vs 410, are we really talking big differences between bore cid potential? Especially comparing 318 vs 360 blocks with same crank there's very little...

I'd love to see you put a set of your heads/intake on a .030 over 318. Seriously! That would be a great story - build - learning experiment - and following!

bro, he read about it and talked to people. i'm sure if he read enough popular mechanics and went to JPL and talked to a few folks he could build a new minivan based jupiter rover and the rocket to get it there-- powered by a 318 of course.

I am in the process of a 318 LA budget turbocharged build, and there seems to be a lot of common info suggesting limits of around 6psi boost for an 8.5:1 static compression engine. I am aware of how timing events affect dynamic compression, and how all things being equal, these principals...

the damaged has been done. 440 is Sold! the 318 bottom end is assembled with new rings and all new bearings. ( i did the piston flip/swap method, as a ol skool racer trick = i always wanted to try that lol) Hughes whiplash cam is ordered and on BACKORDER lol the Ebay Airgap Dual plane...

Sounds good.. if you want to get it done look at some howards cams in the same specs... they are good about keeping stock

Cause a 318 comes with a 273 head and 340 come with 340 heads, good thing is heads are swappable, you seem to not be able to look past at what the factory did, when building a 318 vs 340 they pretty can take the same parts besides pistons, not saying that makes 318 better but just a capable...

Have the Quick Time RM-531 balance plate on the stock build 360 with a Neutral Balance stock 318 flywheel. Set up on the engine run stand, testing various 2 barrel and 4 barrel carburetors, also testing points distributor, mopar electronic ignitions, and mopar HEI conversions with the E-coils...

agree. if you do need to swap the heads at some point I'd look at upgrading the cam if it's a stock 318 cam.

I have been asked to build a car for my nephew. We are using a Duster, either a 71 or a 74, it has yet to be determined. I have one of each and both will require about the same amount of work to the body. Normally, I default to a 360 for the A bodies that I have built to sell because in stock...

Hey everyone, was wondering if a 300 crank HP 318 build was do-able with bolt ons- and what else might I need to reach that?? 318 build list: - eddy 4 barrel intake & 600 cfm carb with 1 inch spacer - Mild cam (Hughes whiplash) - Hedman long tube headers, duals running to flowmaster super 10s -...

I’d drive the car as it is, save my money, make a wish list and collect the necessary parts as time goes on to build a billy bad *** 318 motor if that’s your dream with a goal of it being done as the budget allows. Remember it will cost about the same to build a 318 or a 360. You also talked...

This will probably open up a can of worms as this subject has been well covered but I am interested in some recommendations that folks have actually built and ran. Here are the particulars. Care is a 73 Dart swinger 3.23 geared 25" tires factory high stall converter in 904 with a TF-2 shift...

Just curious, what exactly were they doing? I'm interested in your guy's experience and thoughts on this. I got one of their cams recently for a relatively mild 318 build, and in reading up on it, it was very strongly recommended on their site to use only their springs and lifters.

Basically most performance A Bodies are gonna fall between 10-15's cars and even a /6 with a power adder can do 10's, a 318 bore should be able to get you there NA, obviously the larger bores have the advantage but aren't absolutely necessary. Is a 360 bore better than a 383's no but for the...

Oh here's an example. Upgrade for '70 Swinger 340 rear Build whatever you want.

Are 302 heads a true decent budget cylinder head for a 318? I'm between buying a set of 302's or a set of speedmaster cylinder heads.

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...

You don't have to understand and or agree with what people choose to build. We build Mopars the least popular choice of the big 3 who cares if some choose to hop up /6 273 318 or whatever other engine you or others think is a waste of time. I get it if someone thinks there gonna build a NA 600...

Gonna do any milling for cr ? 250 hp is a pretty easy goal, no matter what it makes should be a decent setup for your nephew. Here's a stock low cr 318 long block makes 282 hp with 4 bbl headers and a xe262h cam. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/mopp-0312-318-long-block-bolt-ons/

Looks like we found AJ’s partner in life hating 318’s!!!!!

Hey! Yeah I’m going with the 360 Magnum engine which has true 9:1 compression the car will have 3000 stall converter and 3.91 gear set at the drags and 3.55 on the street

^^^ 1000% this. snap that bish together and don't over cam it or over carb it. voo-doo science juice box back yard tweaks on the trans and roll that puppy while you build out another motor or collect parts for the chonk block swap. summer's rapidly coming to an end hombre, and darla down...

Did anyone on here ever actually prove anything with a 318 Post dyno slip and actual cost? Fo example 318 wr you watch his yt videos his cars run a predictable et at the strip he doesnt show for example any real gains for the efforts. this iisnt a jab at him but hes not proving anything not...

Ouch! LMAO! Yep! 318 hater. For good reason. It ain’t easy waking up a low compression 318 and even worse when it’s a smog era 318. They will perform good for what they are but they’ll never perform well. Not until you change the pistons and heads to something much nicer. AJ nailed it. While...
