    Best cam for the street both power & sound

    if they're the same price and similar condition, always go for the bigger motor. with one caveat.....if one is a roller cam motor, go for the roller motor....if you can find a roller cam LA 318 (M bodies 85-89, trucks 85-91) or roller cam 360 (trucks (87-91) that can get by with a rering, go...

    Does this prove David Vizard's 128 lsa formula ?

    There isn't a 1 formula fit's all Hemi builds or any other type of engine. Intended use and all variables involved will determine what cam or even type of cam to be best for combo, Ex you wouldn't get great results in a 318 with 106 cam 238 degree with 3.23 gears, even if the formula says so. or...

    Best cam for the street both power & sound

    I agree. I ran that 6901 in a stock teen with stock heads etc and 600 Holley it was fun to a point it didn't rev much or should I say the power band was reached pretty quick. I have read that, the best cam for a stock 318 is the stock cam...and I d bet its true. But its like .399 lift or...

    Does this 318 sound healthy?

    Does this engine sound healthy? I have no prior knowledge of the cam or any other upgrades to the engine. Only thing I've done was swap the intake and carb to a 4bbl. Drives great but warms up to around 230 in traffic. Will cool down to 180 when I'm able to step on it. 727 trans 3.73 diff it...

    SBE 318 basic rebuild +CAM , INTAKE, HEADS, expectations?

    Can I switch over the oil pan+ pickup, mounts, acc, from the 318 to a 360 LA? Are there any differences in 360 LA, lers say foe example the MoHo 360? Wouldn't a 5.9 roller engine be better then?

    .480/230 cam in an 8.5 CR 360?

    It just will not work! Call any cam mfg. and ask them. He would be much better off just using a stock 318 cam. I'll bet he could get one on here for free + shipping. You are giving the man the wrong info.

    [Found!] SBM Edelbrock SP2P

    SP2P Edelbrock, or a Offenhauser Dual Port. The Offy came in square bore, and spread bore. I ran a 318 size one on my van for many years. TQ's and Rochesters. My engine was a 360 with an RV cam.

    if i build a BUDGET 360.... LA Vs Magnum 5.9

    hi Guys i have a 74 Duster with a 318 LA in it and it didnt run in long time so my 1st approach is to get running what i have ( 318) but eventually i want to get more Hotrod power.... Not a Racecar! so the upgrade to the 360 Seems to be the best bet in terms of direct fit My 318 has a 906...

    road car cam for my 318

    Call Delta cams in Washington. He ground me a 208/214 .425 lift on 112 Lsa for my 318 and I love it. Excellent torque and power with 318 heads and a quadrajet 4bbl.

    5.2/5.9 H.P build guesstimate

    It is worth mentioning the 280h cam selected for the 318 build will be a dog on the bottom end if you don't follow the rest of the build and the compression up. Years ago we used that in a 350 chebbie with stock low compression pistons and a stock converter in an 81 pontiac grand prix with 373...

    318 build suggestions?

    If going TF's I'd really shop for a 360+ engine, there more designed for 475-525 + hp, a 318 is gonna need to turn some decent rpms to get there 6,500-7,500 rpm. Would they work on a more mild 318 ? 400-425 hp with a fairly mild cam possibly, probably better then most would think but why under...

    Valve Spring Recommendation

    they shouldn't (famous last words). per their specs they're set up for hydro cams up to that lift, so i'd assume you're in the clear. and they're single spring. color me jealous, that's one of my favorite cams for 318's ETA: the 60779 has single springs and is for flat tappet. 60775 is for...

    SBE 318 basic rebuild +CAM , INTAKE, HEADS, expectations?

    I didn't even have to think about a 360. My oem 318 was in good shape , just tired... so nothing a freshup can't fix. As you said IF the 318 would have been trash I would have gotten a MAGNUM 5.9 just because of the heads and roller cam setup. But i didn't have to do that so this 318 is fine...

    Big horsepower 318 builds

    If you are serious about making power like a late model engine you need to disabuse yourself of the notion that a Chrysler head with standard rockers is worth spending a nickel on. If you want to build a 500 hp 318 with a small cam you use W2 heads or better. Anything else is just expensive...

    Not sure what to do

    As long you got a mechanically decent engine no reason not to do the basic tune, 4bbl and mild cam with at least duals, headers better, stall and gears help too. No reason can't get 240-280 hp. Here's stock low cr 318 long block with 4bbl headers and xe262h cam for 282 hp @ 5000 rpm...

    Dust off your crystal ball and GUESS the horsepower !

    Gonna do any milling for cr ? 250 hp is a pretty easy goal, no matter what it makes should be a decent setup for your nephew. Here's a stock low cr 318 long block makes 282 hp with 4 bbl headers and a xe262h cam. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/mopp-0312-318-long-block-bolt-ons/

    D4B DC mods like the LD340 DC mods?

    @toolmanmike @ch1ll How about a new AVS2 800 cfm with the D4B and a Racer Brown cam suited to the stock piston and 4 bbl automatic, 3.21 gear? I guess I'll ask Jim. I almost called today but I was driving and didn't remember till after 5pm Eastern. The 19129 is factory refurbished and only...

    318 Build? Help!

    Sorry, but there is no way in hell a 9.7:1 318 with 170cc heads and a 216/220 cam will make anywhere near that power and torque. What program is that?

    Not sure what to do

    i guess it all depends on the end results you are after.. for me, i would throw a 360 in the thing. if you want to keep the 318 you can do an intake and carb, work i=on the timing curve, rear gears, converter, headers, samll cam. depends where ya want to go and what you want to sacrifice.

    Replacement Cam

    parts hawk is a reputable seller, they're just a big online middle man like rock or whoever. melling is good stuff and great value. that cam is bascally a 340 cam, but it's ground on a 112. i've run them in 318's a bunch. i think there's better, more modern, or more suitable grinds out there...

    road car cam for my 318

    almost but not quite! it's not 10 pages yet, nobody has said to trash it and get a 360, nobody's mentioned uncle tony yet, and there's nothing here about mama, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting drunk. EDIT: i stand corrected

    Best cam for the street both power & sound

    Here's a few video's and articles for mild 318 and 360, I'm sure people are getting tired of them but I think there a good starting place for someone trying to figure out a mild combo. This one is just cam header and 4bbl on a stock low cr longblock 318...

    Hughes cams - feedback on their springs/lifters?

    i like their products, but sometimes their customer service puts me off to the point of if i'm able to find it elsewhere i'll go that route. that being said, i like the fact that they offer a supporting cast for the star of the show and it is specifically designed to work together rather than...
