Search results for query: cam for 318

10 hp. 1978 NHRA specs 318, small heads, small cam, and same pistons 140 hp for 2 barrel, 150 hp for TQ.

THere really isn't much difference between the LA and Magnum other than the Mag has a little better heads than a LA Teen and of course the roller cam. You can get the same benefit from a 85 or newer Roller cam Teen block. I have one in the garage and some Speedmaster heads in the basement. I...

That looks like a DEAD stock 2 barrel cam. Is that what you want?

That is a good one. Too bad it's a Comp.

Does anyone know how far down a 1972 318 pistons are? In a book I have it states in 1972-1981 they are .056 down from the top of the bore but with those calculations in the Diamond racing compression calculator it gives about 8.5 to one compression but our factory manuals state 8.2 compression...

This video wasn't too bad to watch, he said the cam specs for the 318 should be accurate within a degree or so, sounds like it's should pretty accurate to me.

These guys did it with iron Magnum heads. A good set of alloy heads and a decent cam with a 4 barrel of course will get you there. I would spend the extra and run a roller. But...........................no you are adding to the budget and it's not a cheap build any more...

Yeah, a magnum build would be cool but $200 for the short block, I got just have to put heads on it and cash flow is tight at the moment!

thank you all for the info.when you says logs u mean stock 340 manifolds im guessing.Its a mildly built 318 nothing crazy i really just like the exhaust sound with headers.all of my mopars seem to get 4 barrels,headers and cam lol.any of you know anything about the summit sum-g9140 it shows...

Just wanted to share the slow build of this 318. I know there are plenty of people and articles saying you can build this or that on a low budget, and we all love the idea of a cheap budget engine build. But the truth may be if you are buying a used engine that is not running, you going to find...

If you say so. It works great for me but just like OP I am not a bracket racer or a number chaser. Make of that what you wish.

Hi everyone. So just got my 73 Dart Swingers 318 block back from the shop. Had it bored .30 over to match the new high performance KB Pistons I bought. Had the stocked heads worked on as well (valve job..resurfaced ect.) Using Stock crank.. Will be changing the 2brl to a 4brl edelbrock..Adding...

Since I don't know/understand much about picking a camshaft, my engine rebuilder suggested this Melling: He said it would be a good choice for my ice cream parlor cruiser (.030 over original 318, LD4B intake, 1406 carb, MP electronic ignition, factory exhaust manifolds, FlowMaster 40s, 2 1/4"...

If running similar heads a 318 ain't gonna need 21 more cam degrees to turn higher rpm. You look at that 400 hp magnum headed 318, go a 230 cam making peak power at 6200 rpm a similar cam 5.9l magnum gonna be more like 5400-5500 rpm.

i don't care to watch the vidya, can you just post what the cam spec is?

Not much different at .425 lift, but less false motion. I pretty much run them on everything. But I don't run anything but a 4 barrel carb and rev to 6,000 rpm. When you use good parts, longevity is a non issue in my experience. Most of my engines last forever with oil and filter changes at...

Speaking from experience here..... I put a 6 pack set up on the 318 in the 69 Fury ragtop that I had for 17 years. All stock original long block, except I put a 68 340 cam in it. Stock convertor and 3.55 gears. That land yacht would still pull 18mpg if I kept my foot out of it.. not a rocket...

The 273's can ge a little more spendy to do. The pistons are more money that just off the shelf 318 pieces. The cam's and lifters are more because they aren't a generic off the shelf part. The rest is really the same. Pistons from Egge and Kanter (if they are still in business) and cam and...

OK, I just gotta know why? In 54 years of hotrodding, never once did I swap to a slanty, lol. Altho, I did rebuild a few. If it's for fuel economy, that's almost a myth. I'm pretty sure that I can get better fuel economy out of a hi-compression, modest cam, overdriven M/T 360, than any...

The 268/.485 spec cams have been used for all applications for years. I put one in my 454 Chevy powered tool truck years ago. In an engine that big you couldn't even tell it was bigger than stock specs. If you put that cam in a 360 it's a RV cam. You put it in a 318 and it's a hot street cam...

Built many trucks and all had 410's. My choice in the same truck was a completely stock 69 340 with the AVS it came with. It pulled like a freight train. I had a 73 360 HP in one and I did not like it. The only other choice would be a P pump 5.9 or 2004-2007 5.9 Common rail. I did that...

I've never seen any KB hyper pistons for a 318 bore/4" stroke. if you get an '85-up 318 or 318 magnum block you can run stock roller lifters on a hydraulic roller cam.....doing a 4" stroker, other than the "number" (392), there's no advantage to doing that over starting with an '89-up 360 or...

Will do some test with my flat tappet 318 ( 1971 year ) that is in my 68 fury III , ill run a modified 2bbl intake and run another 4bbl intake and 4bbl carb , Guy lost the cam card but its the only specs i have , bought it for cheap , with a double timing chain : i believe its a elgin or old...

Depends on the person. IMHO that is getting a bit more duration than I would want for a street 318. To me 220° @ 0.050" is about the max for a street 318. As you are aware a larger displacement tollerates or likes more duration and lift. Personal preference and expectations vary widely.

You look at the parts list for a 400 hp 318,340,360 it practically the same, around 10:1 cr, 230 to 245 cam, airgap 750 headers and magnum or x heads or mild ported 2.02 360 heads or 318 heads ported to flow similar, or SM, Edelbrocks with maybe slightly less cam. Don't get this cost issue.

Personally and in my experience I cant see seeking out 318 parts (302 heads) the natural progression that I went through as a young man is play around with the 318, cam, headers carb exhaust, ran good but want better ... seek out and find a 340-360 ...that is the natural way of things not...

Stock 318 with high rpm lifters. Gotta ask what is going on? If this 318 has been worked, then I don't know if those lifters are needed but as far ZDDP, I'd want a minimum of 800 ppm for stock cam, and maybe a bit higher, more like 1200 ppm if the valve spring pressures are high for a more...

Its been said Im sure before if its stock bottom say early 70s smog 318 it will run put of steam quick at like 5000r pm. It will sound good...

Availability... i looked for a couple of months for a 360 in my area.. nothing. also 318s are $100-400... 360s much more if you can find them... or they already have a 318 laying around.. could be tons of reasons.. i could swear we had talked bout this before :)

I now own the magnum crate engine Holdener was using for testing. With the 212/218 cam and an rpm air gap it now makes 365.
