Oh boy, here we go again. You may want to study up and then ask. THis is 17 pages and it's still not all the recommendations. Search results for query: 318 cam

Every engine got what I call free power, basically the power the stock heads and cr is capable of supporting with basic hot rodding, cam 4bbl headers tune etc.. A stock 318 should be able to squeeze 275-300 hp without going too crazy with cam. Now above that heads and cr need to be addressed and...

I'll save some time for a few of the usual suspects- Choice A- stock 318 cam Choice B- .650 lift (mild) cam with 4000 stall converter and 5.13 gears (...and zero torque until 3000 RPM) That's it. Pick one.

You read my post wrong. What I said was, I did not notice much of a difference between the 318 and 340 until I added the headers and 2.5" exhaust. I had 318 exhaust manifolds on it at the time. Night and day once I installed the proper exhaust. The 318 gave me 14 MPG while the 340 was 10 MPG...

You probably can get 400 hp out of a stock 273/318 head with enough cam and cr don't make it a good choice for that much horsepower.

After learning how to install cam bearings, buying the installation tool and doing it myself for the first time, the last thing I wanted to do was to do it all over again. Overkill? Perhaps. Did it work? PERFECTLY. Not one nick, mark or scratch on the fresh new cam bearings.

2800 stall will be good for a street driver with that cam , my son has that cam in a 318 withh that stall , 904 trans . drives 60 miles to track runs 13.5 consistantly .

Yup and a lot of them will believe his bullshit simply because there's so much of it.

So I got a comp cam set 3103 . For my 318 la last year but sold the car . I have here a 94 318 mag . And this timing set says it works for la and mags . Is that true ? How can that be true ?

I wouldn’t worry about it, there’s nothing wrong what you said. Until now this thread to me seemed to be going fine.

Thanks! However, we need solid cam for my SuperStock 318.

I am doing something similar with my 318; it is a stockish combo with -5cc kb pistons, cast crank and stock rods, and the only machine work being done is a light ball hone and zero decking it. I have speedmaster 170cc heads; and a torker for the top end. Going through different camshaft options...

i think the eddy performer 2177 would be a great mild cam for a 318 with stock (low-ish) compression. a little less aggressive than a stock 340 cam. the thing i don't like is that it's a single pattern cam. however, for the money i think a melling 360 stock cam or a summit white box is a better...

No...Imo, if that carb is in good shape, that's a great price. Keep in mind, the stock 318 cam is all done at 5k, so it would be a fine upgrade for what you have now.

I wanted to put up a post for 318 newbe's to show what happens to low-rpm torque with various cam sizes and compression ratios, so that we all don't have to keep going over the same old questions. And since almost everybody has, or has had, a 318, usually an 8/1 variant, with a stock 240* cam...

No kiddin! He's da man!

LISTEN to GTX John!! He's been going very fast for 50 years, and still is. If you want to stroke a 318, a 360 crank is NOT the way I would do it. For really high performance application, get a 4" all forged kit FOR a 318. For budget street use, cast crank kit with hyper pistons would be fine...

This makes me want to show the 318 some more love lol! I knew they were considered underdogs but i didn't know they were this hated lol

as above run what you have and build as you can afford a better motor. if you can't find a reasonably priced 360 in your area to add a 4" stroker kit to (for 408") then a cheap 318 with the same 4" stroke doesn't give up much at 390". add ally heads of your choice/budget along with cam, inlet...

Question for the head porting experts: Would a well ported set of heads (like Edelbrock or SM) and a well matched intake get you there? 5 hundo HP with a 318 and say, a solid roller cam with sub 230 degrees or duration?

Hotroding = take what you have and make it work.

the Moho 440 is bretty much ready... it has a cam , intake and a bunch of new parts... i should get the heads from the machine shop end of this week. definitly a cool motor ...If i sell this engine i can probably fund the whole DUSTER build incl the engine (if i use the 318 )

I'm currently building a mild 318 to replace a Slant 6 in my 1974 Plymouth Valiant, 4-door, which I got really cheap. After I picked up the 318, a friend mentioned the 360 as a better alternative, dollar VS output. As I have a 7 1/4 rear end, I don't want to blow up the rearend. BUT, the costs...

While a 360 would be ideal in my case as well, I may do a little something to this 318 I have in my 68 Dart. At least the top end can transfer over to a fresh 360 short block. I’d like to maybe do a top end setup on this 318 just to see how well it runs. No HP or ET in mind for a goal.. just for...

just read those 2 specs and.......... the catalog says its a hydraulic flat tappet cam .. the other info site says its a solid flat tappet cam. now who's correct ? I ran it with solid lifters previously

I just never had any luck with 360's . Melted many pistons with a stock bottom end. Never had any that impressed me when it came to endurance. Smaller mains , Externally balanced, junk pistons, small main caps like 318 but longer stroke, That never made any sense, I would rather build a...

No. I’d recommend that cam with a minimum of a 2,500 stall converter, & a min of 3.55 gears with the typical 727/904 trans.

I have been asked to build a car for my nephew. We are using a Duster, either a 71 or a 74, it has yet to be determined. I have one of each and both will require about the same amount of work to the body. Normally, I default to a 360 for the A bodies that I have built to sell because in stock...

Partly because roller cam retrofit to a non roller cam block is more expensive. Solid roller will be most expensive. It all depends what you have planned for the car. If I was using a 318, I would use a hydraulic roller cam. If you use your 86 block, just buy a cam for that and stock replacement...
