Because in reality you can actually have both, if you know what you're doing. The OP's 5-speed overdrive trans is a huge factor in being able to do that. Optimize WOT mixture for max power, tune cruise mixture to be at least stoich or slightly leaner, run vacuum advance and initial timing +...

Stock sml block Roller Cam core Used 318 roller core, cam only, out of '85 or '86 Chrysler that used a carb and mech fuel pump. $125 shipping included to US contiguous. Perhaps a good candidate for an Oregon Cam performance regrind? Mailed from Wash State

counter point: headers sound frikkin' cool.

an 8/1 318, with a headgasket change from 020 to 039, which is typical, brings the Scr down to 7.7. At 800ft elevation, with the stock cam at Ica of 48*, this is predicted to make 129psi CCP. Put a rowdy cam in there with an Ica of 64*, and this falls to 112psi, and just like that your 318...

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

What's the specs for your 3/4 race cam?

Nice! No doubt it would like a lot more cam with the converters and gearing, but at least you had the right mindset and optimized the drivetrain for the 318 incher. I’ve always liked the ‘62 Belvedere. If this is the temporary motor, what does the future hold?

Using your method, it's hard to say. I have never used your method. And I can't get sense of how you wrote it; In the same sentence, the piston is at the top, then it is coming up. So, wth stroke is it on at what time? Looking at the factory 318 cam specs, with the cam installed 4* advanced, the...

Actually in the beginning I said a stock 340 cam then just to kick them in the pants I said the 318 cam. I owned a couple of 1979 Chrysler 300's. They came with the 340 cams dual exhaust ect. They sounded great, had a little power but overall they were dogs. One of them I rebuilt and the final...

Looking for a 4bbl dual plane intake for a small block, truck pan and pickup. Would consider medium lift cam package if someone has one available. Building a mild 273 with a 318 top end to drop into a dakota. I'm located in Central PA. Thanks

PM me for my buddy's contact info. He will build you a custom carb that will change your entire view of how to fuel an engine. J.Rob

At the stock compression of the engine, I’d call it OK. I’d rather see another point of compression myself. It’s not the end of the world though. The 380/360 engine, much like what’s being built here, the key for performance is a properly stalled converter, gears & tire size that also work with...

Here are the pictures I was trying to add, it wouldnt let me attach them in our North Dakota thread. That’s a GENERAL costs list from a local machine shop for engine/head work and a general parts needed list, I didn’t want to drop any names as not to disrespect anyone, and pics of the crank as...

I generally agree with your main premise, the powerband and gearing should match the rpms at the mph you'll be using the engine at. And gearing definitely matters more as engines get smaller and or rpms get higher. Problem is stall, gearing and cr seem to be the last thing people want to do...

Oh, the sound is the mufflers job. The camshaft will produce the rhythm.

Could do it with Bloomer heads. They make great power Not sure how much a 2.08 valve would be shrouded, but high lift 230@50 roller, 13 to 1 compression, good intake and carb, good ring pack, think it could be done pretty easily.

good used lifters for 273, 318, 340 and 360 for use with solid flat-tappet cams. i believe they came from a 273, unsure. very lightweight. if you plan on using a mechanical cam and want to avoid lifter failure, you need these. they were produced back when lifter damage was almost unheard of...

If you watch the Engine Master competition where the do odd ball engines like the 318 Poly, Nail head, old Cadillac, Chev 307 etc... Making 500 + or whatever hp takes a similar recipe just there's little to no off the shelf part for some of those engine, if you put the right heads and cam, cr...

I addressed that in the article. The factory cam is just too small. 240/248/112 with an Ica of 48*(4* advanced already) IIRC that cam is about 196*or 192,(I forget which), at .050 Performance starts around 220/224*@ .050, or around 60*ICA Every 6 or 7 degrees is about a cam-size, so the...

Let the machinist decide if it needs it or not. The conditions of the cylinder will be determined then. The machinist will probably opt for a .030. I like the cam. Increasing duration moves the power band upwards. If you like how it performs now, keep the cam. No. You can if you want but it’s...

What I would shoot for would be 325-350HP. Very reasonable goal and you should be able to get there with your budget. The Hughes Whiplash cam for the 318 would sound good. But remember, then you'll need a matching converter and better gears. More money. I'd concentrate on power output instead of...

I'm gonna call a .480 lift cam pretty big for a "cheap" 318 build. I ran the Mopar 284/484 in my 9.5:1 383. and was told I should have used the next smaller by almost everyone. (which would have been the 280/480, IIRC)

I run early 318 heads with small valves 208/214 delta cam, and 9:1 in a w100 @ 4700 ft. 800 Rochester on a stock spread-bore. Save your money. Pulls from the bottom and hold 85on the freeway with ease 29” tire 3:55. 302 heads aren’t magic.

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.

...but there's still no answer on what "next step up" cam for my 4 barrel, dual exhaust running, driving, don't wanna put it i the corner 318 with 2.94 or 3.23 gears is like compared to some of the other , similar options.

j heads on a 318 doze one fine job! have had 2 and both were screamers!!

Friend of mine raced dirt track, ran a 318 with 340 heads. Fastest car on the track.

The engine's only gonna use what it wants and if the carb is too small it won't be enough... When I first came on this forum 10 years ago I was putting a dual quad tunnel on a stock 318 with a cam and half Of the forum was calling for tar, and the other half was calling for feathers..... And...

A 2 barrel until you need it.
