Search results for query: cam for 318

Are you kidding? It's a lightweight 65 Barracuda, with a 360, and those tiny/squat wheelhouses; put a 318 cam in it and it will still roast those 245s all thru first gear and beyond. If you can't live without a lumpy idle just install a thumper/whiplash, the little one. Make sure the rearend...

What stall converter would you recommend for a 318 with a stock to mild cam? Cam with like 204*/214*

318 + 030 KB167s Zero Decked Balanced Aeroflow Heads 9.4:1 comp Comp XE268 cam LD340 and Holley 600 Vac Sec Shorty Headers, 2.5" dual exhaust 4 speed 2.92 Hwy diff (for now) First start up very close!

1st thing I'd is drop hp expectations, there's a big difference between a 425 and 500 hp even a 375 and 400 hp depending on heads. Heads basically decides power potential and cam cr etc. decides how much of that potential your gonna use. Stock 360 heads with reasonable street cam for a 318...

The LS heads are far better than most heads for a SBM.

You already have tons of good advice here. I'll add my $0.02 based on my experience. I put a 150K+ mile 5.9 in my Dart. The cylinder walls and heads looked pretty much like yours does. - I did not touch the bearings or the rings, and I did not hone the cylinders. - All I did to the bottom...

I corrected a couple numbers at the start of your post.

Btw.. Just bought it last June (2023) and swore to my wife that it was "just gonna be a driver". I tried to resist and just enjoy the little 318.. I really did. I rebuilt the top end on the 318 with a little cam, upgraded the AC system, added EFI etc. I think my wife and I both knew what was...

Do you have power brake,s,

Thats what I am thinking

That's why I find this topic/discussion sickening. Isn't there a about a billion threads on re-camming a 318 or adding a 4bl intake and headers? A. It's perpetually being brought up. B. Any amount of money spent on a 318 in the name of power is a waste unless its going to be reused on the...

At first I was skeptical about gaining 20hp on a ‘73 2-barrel 318 until I remembered that back in 1973 a friend of mine had a ‘73 340 Duster automatic and I had a ‘73 Dodge Sport 318 2-barrel 4 speed. I added dual exhaust to my car and put lighter advance springs in the distributor and it seemed...

To me there's two main way to look at a build, build for X power or Y rpm, to build for X power these engines are generally gonna take the same parts but the 318 needs more rpm gear stall etc.. For Y rpm the 318 gonna make less power but need parts that make less power but probably gonna work...

That's what she said. All kidding aside. When I got a virgin Mopar X Block (race block) I had options of what to do with it. 1st off the casting says 318 and takes 318 mounts. Since I have only ever run 340 blocks and tossed all 318 I ran across had to find a 318 mount. I had a early 340 someone...

Sure but if you narrowed the lsa shouldn't you be able to widen the duration ? Most probably be happy with 210 give or take a few degrees, + more .200 duration, add .050-.100" lift, even if took higher ratio. Don't need a lot of cam to add 50+ hp to a 318 there got to be some wheeling and...

The engine did have a solid cam in it when I bought it. I like the idea of a quiet maintenance free cam, if I can have it. The cam That was in it had the following stamps on it. I actually considered putting hydraulics on it. I have not determined the profile of it yet. I can only assume its a...

Having tore down both 318 and 340 Ill say I agree. It's in the details. People say the 318 is identical, only a little and its externally. So in theory all the little parts you'd have to obtain and swap into a 318 make it expensive to build up. Anyone who knows knows this. For example you are...

I was doing some reading a little bit ago on the 318's and it suggested that a "true " double roller timing chain be used. I have to admit that I'm confused here as I've always thought that the double roller timing chain were "true " double rollers. Also it said to use a cam as close to the 340...

spray puts the comp police to bed avg street 318 218@50 2.02 heads air gap 750 carb 150 shot of spray gets you 470 lb ft@4100 or so 450 hp @5500 tti headers 900 bucks 15 hp spray 900 bucks 150 hp pretty simple

Back in post 303 you said "I'm out guys", so make it happen already.

I used those same seals on my slant 6 head and I still have a LOT of room between the guides and retainers. You probably weren't thinkin about a slant 6, though. lol BUT, I did use 318 valves for some valve spring. They are .300" longer than slant 6 valves.

Hey everyone, was wondering if a 300 crank HP 318 build was do-able with bolt ons- and what else might I need to reach that?? 318 build list: - eddy 4 barrel intake & 600 cfm carb with 1 inch spacer - Mild cam (Hughes whiplash) - Hedman long tube headers, duals running to flowmaster super 10s -...

Used Power & Speed Equipment checking in! ain't a thing wrong with a factory 4bbl and tq from the yard. i've seen something like that on top of a 318 with a white box cam flat *** beat the brakes off a 340 with some cam chosen for idle sound and a RPM air gap topped with a QFT 950.

The camshaft is only one part of the combination. I’m going to ask you a small slew of questions that we all need to know the answers to for any type of cam recommendation. Otherwise, you’ll get answers like, “Use a .750 roller cam with 1.6 rockers.” What is your; Cars weight Trans Is a...

These Walkers, are the two I’m up for and FWIW, I also recommend the longest muffler that can fit for quite. True, not a common search for quite. I want a quiet ride. This is for a low compression 318-2bbl/727-2.94 geared Cruiser.

ask and ye shall receive. people out here acting like mid 12's from a 318 is witchcraft or you gotta make a deal with the devil. converter and gears will easily push a 318 into the 12's i have a 69 barracuda, full curb weight. 318/727 stock stall w/ 3.23's the motor is an honest 9.5:1 with a...

Knowing a bit about the 318 engines, I would highly recommend switching the cam first. This is the carrot in the engines arse. A 360 cam or an aftermarket cam with about 210° to 215° intake duration at 0.050" lifter lift and about 220° exhaust duration at 0.050", 108° LSA installed 4° advanced...

Based on what evidence, it just your speculation that torque is gonna drop off between 2000-3500 rpms with a mild cam. Beside 318willruns car that contradicts what you are saying, here for the 100th time which you'll ignore any evidence to the contrary, is a low cr 318, Base is stock 2bbl with...

I think my engine is running very lean, have a 318, Keith Black 167 pistons, 30 0ver,, comp cam 20-223-3 cam, auto trans. have a Edelbrock Street Performer intake, Holley Street Warrior 600 4160 electric choke carb., compression is 150-155 in cylinders, carb is new, shows in specs primary...
