Can't wait to see the info for this mid 12 second 318.

I believe a 5.3 LS head will outflow a 440 906 head. A 318 is a GREAT set of heads (and more) away. But who is gonna put trick flows on a 318? Black Friday speedmasters? You betcha!

The 350 is making about 30 hp more at 3,000 rpm then the 318 pretty good gain, but the 350 also has better flowing heads.

Okay, I'm stumped. Need some help with troubleshooting / tuning. Engine is a 1987 318 (135-145ish PSI compression and 302 heads) sitting in a Ramcharger. Cam is a Summit 6900, Edel 2107 intake, Summit M2008 600 CFM carb. I cannot get this carb adjusted correctly. I replaced a worn out...

thank you all for the info.when you says logs u mean stock 340 manifolds im guessing.Its a mildly built 318 nothing crazy i really just like the exhaust sound with headers.all of my mopars seem to get 4 barrels,headers and cam lol.any of you know anything about the summit sum-g9140 it shows...

Cool. Def keep me posted on any success or lessons... Is there a thread here on your project?

That's good enough to make a 3200 lbs car with the right gearing feel peppy kind of quick. If people want something with some pep but don't want to easily break parts, then that is the direction they should go.

It isn't hate it just doesn't make sense to cite funds as a reason to not pick up a 340-360 but then dump a bunch of money into a 318. And some of us know in the end these guys would jump on a 340-360 when the right time and enough money permits. If anything its the 318 guys who are the haters...

A 340 cam does work great in a 273, 318, and came from the factory in all 340's and high performance 360s. A cam has so much to do with how your engine runs, I would always recommend calling a couple cam companies and talk to them. You need to be honest with yourself and all the particulars of...

Have a friend that went low 14's with a 318 2bbl bbd (on a 360 or 318, I can't remember) in a D100 Dodge truck (I think 4k lbs). However, stock eliminator cam, stall, gears.

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...

My 66 Barracuda was born with a 273. When I got it there was a 360 in the engine bay. I wanted to go fast so I installed a 170 slant six :)

Hello all and happy memorial day, I have a 318 LA engine that I'm rebuilding, it ran fine but leaked everywhere. I'm using flat top pistons and the stock heads so my question is how big of a cam can I put in this with the stock heads? I'm aware I'll have to change the valve springs which I was...

I have heard in my travels that, with a LA 318 the stock cam is best in terms of economy reliability and power. Stock lift on an LA 318 cam is below .400" I know most wont want to accept that but , I'd bet there is something to it. Without heads, ( and I don't mean ported stock 318 heads, I mean...

I don’t bother recommending cams. For a long time now. It’s not the pissing matches that idk me but it’s ether splitting of hairs on similar cam specs or its wildly different and sometimes absurd cam recommendations. Now, if asked, directly or via a thread, it’s just a general recommendation...

To be honest, I love everything old school Mopar. But the 318 is my all time favorite engine, for exactly the reasons I've outlined. A mild cam, a set of closed chamber heads, and they are peppy enough for daily beater duty. I currently have 20 318s, a few 360s, half a dozen 383s, two 400s...

I like 318s. It's a 5.2L v8. Put good heads, cam, intake and it'll rip. Plenty of 500 hp LS5.3s around. A 318 is a good set of heads away from the same glory.

Hello there! I’m new to the group here and I came across your post. Been a few years I understand but I’m looking for some education on doing the same exact thing as you mention with a 5.2 magnum in place of a 273/ 2 barrel in my 1965 barracuda. If and when you have time of course, any advice or...

that's a whole bunch of cam for a 318 with that compression... the heads and intake will support it and you likely already have a converter and gears seeing that you were previously running a 408. but, still, that's a bunch of cam without the cubes and compression to make the magic.

I see it the other way around they unlock 80 hp. The stock 340 x heads are good for about 400 hp gross with a reasonable build. So say a stock 340 does make 275 hp gross so there's 125 hp waiting to be unleashed what's mainly holding it back, Cam, Exhaust, Carb etc.. why wouldn't they add...

Never heard one person say the 1.88 valve 340 head was the way to go for a 340 and see people swap out the X heads for that ground pounding torque of the mighty 1.88 valve. To me you can't just look at the head it's the whole combo but especially head and cam being the main two factors. What...

check the cam bearings.. they tend to literally fall apart depending on the year...

Ok you don't like the 340 cam which is fine there's a ton of options out there, What about a comp cam xe250h with a 51* IVC or maybe grind stock one similar on a 108 if possible? Does anyone even make a stock spec 340 cam anymore?

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...

I ran one of those when I pulled my 318 out of my 1976 dodge van and built a 360 For it back in the late 1970’s. J or X heads, aftermarket pistons and towing cam, headers and a 650 Holley. She ran and towed great.

THat should be a decent combination with a old 340 grind.

on a 9.5:1 318 with ported 302's and a MP P4452761 (.450/.455 268/272 110LSA) with a performer RPM and 750 3310 i laid down a respectable 330hp @ 5750 with aftermarket heads and a airgap, i don't see why you couldn't be in the 350 range as long as keep the compression up. chasing much more than...

Just filling in for Karl. . Pulled the heads off today. Going back together tomorrow. Debating if I should put it back the way it is, or put the Weiand intake and valve covers on I have been saving for the 318 Roller cam motor.

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

The deal breaker for me is the expensive intake manifold needed for the Magnum engines. Your car uses a complex kickdown system that would have to be addressed. If the car is a factory air car-some of the compressor mounting points won't be there on that new intake. The electric fuel pump, the...
