Sound like he was describing the comp xe268h cam wouldn't be a bad 318 cam with stall and gears.

You want an all around car. Long trips mean you won't find 93 octane gas everywhere. If you get the 318 short block you need to figure the compression to run on the octane gas you will use. Even stock 360 heads and a decent cam on a zero deck 318 short block with 3.91 gears will blow your...

Not bad at all! I think Steve Dulcich build a 318 with stock parts that made a little over 400 HP. But I believe he used magnum heads on that build.

Yeah I don't mean to be an a hole but that Vizard build I'll believe it when I see it it isn't any basis for anything except how to get in way too deep financially with a 318 (alot of machine work) . I mean I do't believe anyone is saying you cant do what Vizard is proposing and make power but...

I think a couple more 'teener build threads will force TMM to trade His 'lock' button in for a new one, lol...

I figure like this if I need the 360 J heads for the 318 why not get a 360 and get rid of the dished pistons and call it a day...up compression that way :) I right now have a spare set of js and am thinking of obtaining a 360 over the 318. I figure like this yeah I can build a 318 but in the end...

Yes I think I'm able to understand that lol, Doesn't mean it ain't gonna tiresome for many no matter what part of a mild 318 build you want to discuss :) The part that gets me is you don't even know if you'll end up with 318 car or if you do, it probably already be mildly done. Making this a...

But I think for most of us, that aren't bound by strict rules and highly competitive racing, the average performance guy. To build an engine with Slightly less inefficient HP is generally gonna be easier and less expensive to build. A highly efficient 1.35-1.65 lbs-ft per cid is generally gonna...

The reason 318's are discussed so much is simply because they were the most popular engine option until 1974 when the 360's became available in the A bodies. I know that there was the 340 but it was a performance package. For the average person the good old 318 is a very good starting point. If...

Depends on the power you want... what i did was put trick flows and a roller came in my 318 with the plan of later doing a 390 and using these heads on it.. kinda of spreading the cost pain out over time :) Point is.. stuff like a intake/heads can always move to a more powerful build later. I am...

This past summer my brother and I finished a similar build in his Trailduster. Similar meaning the primary focus was torque, towing the 3000lb trailer, and probably never seeing over 4500rpm. We built a 360 using the Lunati VooDoo 10200701. For a 318 I'd use the next step smaller (which is...

...pain in the *** factor. as somebody that's always built my own junk on a beer budget, and currently going thru a "dedicated cheapskate" 318 build i can certainly see the appeal of hitting the easy button and ordering up a stroker kit. the .60 over gives me pause, though. i personally...

Hello everyone! Thanks for including me. I'm from Australia and currently own a 1964 Chyrsler Valiant AP5 Safari Wagon. It started out life with a slant six and manual transmission but now houses a stroked 318-392 and 904 trans. I have read quite a few post on this forum before and found that...

I can't and won't justify $11k 350hp 318. But I think that with careful parts selection and shopping of parts along with detailed assembly that I could build a 350 hp 318 for about half of what they are charging.

Over here in Aus there a lots and lots of 318/390 strokers, and lots of guys build 318s as 340s are virtually non-existant and 360 cores are drug money. Hell, even 318 cores have adopted post covid pricing - Around $1500aud (1000 USD) for a clapped out rebuilder!

A 500Hp 440 is currently cheaper to build than a 400HP 318. I just finished another and the 440 was $2000 cheaper. Start with a 360 or 440 if you can.

You mentioned that the 318 would need lots of machine work, what extra machine work would it need over the 340/360's? None. As most guys on here do their own porting. As far as getting 1 horsepower per cubic inch isn't difficult even for the 318.

best way to get torque outta a 318 is to 4 inch stroke it to 392, top with best heads you can afford!! remember to build the car and not just the engine!!

the Moho 440 is bretty much ready... it has a cam , intake and a bunch of new parts... i should get the heads from the machine shop end of this week. definitly a cool motor ...If i sell this engine i can probably fund the whole DUSTER build incl the engine (if i use the 318 )

Does your car already have a V8 ? What rear end ? Gears ? How much is the 318 short block ? You have any performance parts already to work with? With your budget and depends where your car is at engine wise, I'd worry more about getting a decent foundation running and driving you can build...

You all have given me great ideas on a 318 build to put in my dart. In the Future.

Yup and how many "318 rebuild " or "will it run" videos have to be made? the way people copy each other on YT got old quick also...I'd rather be in the garage playing around with my own LA engine than watching it on TV...

to make any power thay need porting, alot!!!! and thay need bigger valves as well! thay good head for a mild 318 build driver or a truck... buy time you port and add big valves you can buy the speedmasters...

Nope. He's gonna.needa 360 LA pan whether he uses a318 magnum or 360 magnum. The rest of stuff mentioned can be swapped over

I would never build an engine with any websites claims that anything will fit without checking myself first. Any piston with a positive deck height should be checked and never assumed to fit. Case in point the current small block I am assembling has been decked to zero a stock 318 piston. How...

That's kind of what kind of combo I was looking at using.

Well remember, 318 guys are always citing " budget" I figure if I need the 360 heads why not look for a whole engine....? I do realize the value of a closed chamber aftermarket aluminum head though on the 318 . I personally would not grind and port a 318 cast iron head unless I could flow test...

Its not true i ran 2.02 heads on a 9 to 1 318 street hemi grind weiand stealth/ torker door stop with the spray 650 dp 727 3.23sg 125 shot made more then car and build streer racing the 68 dart 270

My plan is to go with a 4" in my 318 (unless a 360 LA block falls into my lap) I can't see buying a different block to gain 18cubes..
