No IMO that's backwards. But it depends. Start with: what do you want this car to do? and what octane gas are you willing to pay for? Ok well since I have been paged and missed it, and since you're willing to set a spell; here goes, Firstly I like that cam. If you want all the power that cam...

To my knowledge Offy never built a dual plane. The 360* is the designation for a single plane. IIRC all of their V8 intakes were marked 360*. I have one sitting on the top of my 360 in my work van. It has the 318 sized ports as the manifold I wanted was 340/360 specific. It ran fine with a Comp...

Thats just true aj My 68 dart 270 as purchased 318-2 barrel 727 8 3/4 3.23s rebuilt stock motor except 1 5/8 hooker headers 2.5 exhaust vs My 68 gts all stock 80k miles 340 727 8 3/4 3.23s The gts would have sucked the...

I know you were just messing around :) And i have 4.57's.. it should go ok.. it's a temp motor to get the car mobile is all for now

I hope not. But our 318 only had 30,000 miles on it. Of course it still ran good, just had an annoying tick when cold. Probably put another 30,000 miles on it when I felt safe to put a small cam, 4 barrel carb, and intake on it for my son's 73 Dart. If it runs good I would not hesitate to...

Well I'm nobody to enter into how-to-build-an-engine threads. But the above is almost exactly what I plan for my Coronet wagon. It has a dead stock 2-bbl 318 now, it will get Speedmaster loaded heads, a stock set of 72 TQ intake, carb, and 340 HP exhaust manifolds, double roller timing set, and...

I think they are all the same. Pm me if you have the parts Thank you.

well, the original poster did mention getting 302 heads for it in the original post. if he is thinking upgrading heads, the best bang for the buck will be a set of OEM magnums, because you also get the added bonus of 7% more lift on the same cam due to the different rocker ratio. looks like...

Pretty sure Howards grinds the cams for Hughes engines. If you have a search around on the Howards cams website they have a pdf with all their lobe profiles listed on it, there are some interesting lobes there. Doesn't cost that much more to pick what you want and have them grind you a cam. I...

Aj ain't saying small cam he's saying no cam, stock 318 cam only with stall and gears, if you go anything above stock you've murdered the bottom end, and that larger basically only adds on top (totally over looking midrange gain). To me seems a little drastic. I'm not saying stab a big cam in...

Drive em man drive em! Save rabbit holes for second car!

Dan, Seriously ? You're just now discovering Rustys bliss thread ? Not to diss you but . . . Screaming deals are long gone. I looked for over 20 years and found a car I could drive home with a V8 (mandatory) 318 with cam, manifold and 4 barrel no A/C (Desert) a bit rough interior and paint and...

It's not about staying where your/I'm at, I don't know if you notice but most asking for build advice especially for 318 are generally novist and Super Stock, F.A.S.T, Pro Stock, Sprint Car, Nascar info and mods might be a little above their pay grade while they're trying to figure out which RV...

The Elephant ears are really good and stiff keeping the engine where it needs to be. Look into Manciniracing.com and see if they have the swap mounts. Another header is made by TTI. They also can supply an entire exhaust system for there own headers for your car n 2-1/2 or 3 inch tube size...

I’d call that an idle to 6,000 intake. But of course, like said above, a larger camshaft and ported head and etc….. you get the idea… I really don’t see a problem to 6500. I do wonder what the old catalogs listed it as. Hummmm I had one on a 318, small cam, 216@050. I’d run it to 5500. That’s...

For anyone questioning this intake’s ability I’ll tell you a quick story. I had a custom heavier 1976 dodge van that I wanted to tow a race car (big block 1974 duster) and a heavy I beam trailer. I pulled the 318 and built a .030 over 360 with an RV cam touched up X or J heads, 600 or 650...

Thanks for the link! I do see a small block bracket on there that uses a shorty Sanderson compressor that might work with an rpm air gap. I will definitely look into that! I never intended it to be a hot rod with a 300 duration cam. The jist of my initial question was if the cam quoted by...

Here are some numbers from Larry Smith he did on my P7 heads Larry said this is the best head out there for the sbm hard to disagree RIP Larry 100-115 200-164 300-238 400-318 500-365 600-415 700-431 800-439 2.20 intake 1.60 exhaust waiting on a new cam to arrive then start putting it back...

Hi everyone, I changed my Cam in my 318 and the recommended springs with this Cam Here's the problem I have my springs that are too big and are affecting my rocker arms Does anyone have a solution for my springs Guide me on this PROBLEM I want to keep my original rocker arms so I don't touch my...

Furthermore The factory put these together with 020 steel shim gaskets, with a bore hole suitable for a 318. I can't say exactly how many ccs those were, but I would think that ~4ccs would not be far off. The thinnest I find now are 028s and based of a 340 hole, making them about 6.8cc. The...

exactly. and yeah, you can play with the gearing, or carb, or tune, chasing that elusive dragon but usually all you get is something with a peaky, narrow power band that you're always wringing its neck and banging gears around looking for that sweet spot. the only thing that i've built that...

“Just so you know” and “I already have…” never did I think my eyes would light up with hope reading those words haha. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post and comment! I like that positive motivation! Curious though, you mention having ran a cam with worse lobes than mine… are...

B3422w5 has. I could say the same about big blocks, you could build a 600-700+ hp big block for the effort that people put in building a 400-500 hp small block probably for similar money. Why waste your time and money? Why do you care what people build, if 318 aren't for you fine, you think...

Further to post #7 Putting alloy heads onto a stock lo-compression 318, seems to be a sort of a losing battle. Here is what I have learned; Sure the chambers are some 7cc smaller, jumping the compression from 8 to ~8.5 . For a streeter; However, in Part Throttle Operation, almost a full point...

Right! Another way to get there (390 cubes) is the 4.00 arm in a bored out 318. Add a good head and a cam! Hummmm, a 360 crank @ 3.58 into a 340 block bored to 4.100 for a 378.12 or a 6.2. Add a good head & cam! Right! 3.58 (360 crank) into a bored out 318. Might as well go .030 over...

It looks like your trying to get blood out of a stone, I'm all for 2.2l,/6,273,318 etc.. Builds and there are minor gains to be had down low 2000-3000 rpms with basic hot rodding, but it's basically gonna be what it is with what's available to us. There's no magic combination to get 360 cid +...

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...

I'm finally getting closer to the completion of my almost stock 68 Dart convertible, I've been out of the street rod mechanical side for a few years. I'm looking for recommendations for a street cruiser set up, the original 318 block had been replaced with a 73 LA 318 it has a mild cam in it...

Smart move on cam ! Yes all conventional 318/LA parts will work for your recipe.
