Those who recommended the 340 cam are leaving a lot of torque out, but it would idle decent and have a broad band. From personal experience with street trucks and tow rigs, a 110*LSA would put you in the torque band quicker and with a higher peak. In my '86 D250 tow rig, I used the 272H-10...

Yes.. but we aren't building a motor in 1971.... not one single person here would build a motor using all stock parts.. i'm not saying the outcome would be different just that all this talk about stock numbers and factory parts makes no sense..

A 318 can take a 2.02/1.60 valve set no problem. (Below, Everyone else who doesn’t know the following) The issue is valve shrouding which most people seem to make it a kiss of death issue and run to a smaller valve as a savior for this non issue dilemma, and then loose/leave power on the...

Hold on, the '81 isn't a roller block. A '91 is. They didn't phase in the roller cams until '86 on the 318, and '88 on a 360. Dropping the roller cam lifter dog bones and spider hardware in a non-roller block doesn't work. The block we used in my buddy's Challenger was an early '90's 360...

It seems that for somebody who wants to get a little extra zip from his 318 can open up a can of worms rather quickly.

Special? Ok, I know LA 318's had roller cams from '85-91. They also have the "debated" 302 heads (or same head, different casting).

The Isky cam above is not over "over cam" for your engine with a 216 @ 0.050" duration. The definition of "over cammed" that I use is when someone put in a cam without thinking about the rest of the engine. The cam is the first thing you pick and that choice defines the personality and usage...

AFAIK and remember seeing, they oil through the head. You can oil through the pushrod if you wanted to with the correct rocker. There’s a few on the market. Comp Cams has them in a 1.5, PRW has them in a 1.5 & 1.6. No, just where the port is. No issues on rocker geometry or pushrod length...

Thanks, I'm going to write this down so I don't forget.

I just broke in a Comp cam, zero issues. Follow proper procedures, you’ll be fine. Check that the lifters skin in there bores and move smoothly up and down in them.

LA 318's had roller cams from '85-91. Flat tappet LA 318's were still made '85-'89 though, not sure what got what. '90-'91 was rollers only. LA 360's had roller cams from '89-92 Info from this casting number list. mopar casting numbers I'd heard the 318 rollers started more like '86, and...

Go for it!!

the complete and running '85 318 that we pulled from the '80 D150. We have brand new Speedmaster heads still in the box. 273 adjustable rockers/shafts and push rods. We have brand new air gaps in the box, but will probably use a old used single plane for cheap. I have roller cams for cores...

Hi Mopar world I have a question that I hope to get some help with. I am currently running a 273 in my 67 Dart and looking for cam suggestions. I am running stock exhaust manifolds with 318 heads, air gap 2 intake and a 650 cfm edelbrock carb. Stock 904 trans and converter, looking for a cam...

I recently purchased a 1972 Dart Swinger with a 318, one of the previous owners seemed to be interested in performance, but I am more interested in a Cruiser/ Road Trip vehicle. The issues are that the car currently has long tube Hooker headers and an 8 Quart Milodon oil pan. Bothe of these are...

I've been reading 318 threads; most recently the one about XE cams. 14 years ago I bought a 68 Charger that still had the original 2 barrel, 318 w/904. My initial intent was to put it back on the road and sell it. This was before I knew anything about forums, nor could I really interpret what...

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment. But a few things don't line up with what the OP is saying so it turns into a controversy. 1. He's talking about rocker arms and the vast majority of us are saying it's the right part at the wrong time. 2. He talks about how he's a race team crew...

No; as I recall, from memory; the teener cam was always a 240/248/112, and lift around .390 the 360 2bbl was 252/IDK/112, and lift around .420 But these factory cams had long slow ramps, great for lasting longer than the sheetmetal But I can tell you that a 360 2bbl cam works great in an early...

I'm really looking forward to getting the car and start enjoying it. I'm going to stay with the 318 as I'm sure that it will do what I'm looking for. Car is super clean and I don't want to vary from the way it is. I may go with a different set of wheels as it has those dog dish caps on it.

Thanks for the information. I'm hoping to get in contact with the owner of the 1972 duster that I'm interested in. Unfortunately the wife got sick and she's my main priority. I was thinking about either 3.23 or 3.55 gears, wouldn't those 3.91's make the 318 sign going down the highway? I'm going...

maybe so but I broke three of them with street tires., one of them with a dead-stock 1973 318 with nothing more than a 4bbl and headers.

I have a couple stock 360 cams in my stash for economy builds... I need to try one of them sometime...

I DO NOT CARE what your timing is mine does not overheat running even just 5 degrees and parading. With the car stopped, the hood down, and the engine idling There is only one thing you need to know which is this; Can your rad bring the temp down about 30 degrees between the fluid coming in and...

Agree But what I'm trying point out is my engine make more torque (380tq@2500rpm) than a stock /6 273 318 even 340 and 360 at 2500 rpm and ties the 300hp crate engine all which should be able to drive in 3rd at in town speed and pull from stock stall speed without feeling soft why can't mine...

I would prefer to keep everything simple and stock if possible. No need or performance mods or HP expenses. It’ll be a cruiser as mentioned. I’m more interested in simplicity, safety and a healthy invest for future needs if a rebuild should ever arise again in X amount of miles/ use. Having...

If you use the van 727, the governor will be wrong. If you change the rear gear ratio, and the governor is currently correct, then it will be wrong. The TV pressure can be adjusted to compensate for just one ratio either way, but the result is not always acceptable. This is a great swap; I've...

I posted not long ago about building a hi-tork 360. Parts: Edelbrock Streemaster 318 intake, designed for idle to 4500 rpm, high torque. 400 cfm Carter Competition Series,Carb Oregon Cams regrind to match the package, 67 closed chamber 273 heads, YES, , smaller ports, higher low...

I will say, putting a 360 2bbl intake/carb and a 360 cam in a 318 makes a punchy 318 and keeps it pulling decent.

This thing would be nasty in a 318, With good heads. PLYMOUTH Howards Cams 718045-09 Howards Cams Rattler Camshafts | Summit Racing

Plus I'm questioning that big cam have poor low speed torque, now obviously we've all seen bigger cams give up torque to smaller cams but when put in perspective and especially vs a stock low powered 2bbl version of the engine bigger cams still seem to do decently down low, obviously we...
