Yeah 360 foe barrah cam was the thee fawdy cam.

stock 360 2bbl is .410/.410 and 252/252 (or there abouts, 71~74 was slightly mas) stock 360 4bbl is .430/.444 and 268/276 ETA: 360 2bbl cams work great in 318's and that 425 grind from delta is very similar to an old MP purple shaft grind.

My Son has a purple shaft 211/218 .410/425 on 110 in his 9:1 360. Blazes the hides well…

Those Whiplash cams can run strong. The key would be to use the ONE small one for the 318 and not the one for the 340/360. But you need to keep in mind, they still have the same requirements regarding converter and rear gears as any other camshaft in their duration range.

Got the little stock bore/stock stroke 318 magnum running a few weeks ago and I have to say that Racer Brown builds the best cams out there, very happy and snappy engine. Engine Specs: -Stock pistons flipped w/ stock rods & crank -Hydraulic roller .565/.565 232-232 @ .050 with a 106 LSA -Mild...

I have a 318 in one of my Darts that is mated with a 42RH 4 speed OD automatic, and has 2.94 gears. 8.5:1 compression, Edelbrock Performer intake and a 650 AVSII. It is a long distance road trip car. I believe that the current cam is not serving me well - 17mpg on the road, lack of vacuum for...

Sebambam, I have used both the Summit K6900 and K50052 in 273 and 318's Great cams for budget builds. With your choice of heads you may consider the K50052. I agree with Icetech and the small chamber heads to boost compression.

And those Fireball cams were $49.95. I sold a bunch of them.

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.

US car companies seem to have this pre-occupation with wide LSA cams in production engines. The factory cams in the British Leyland engines had 107.5 LSA. The factory performance cams had 102.5 LSA. A 998 cc Mini engine made 94 hp with one of these cams. That would be 490 hp in a 318 ci engine.

I have a set on a 340 and they work fine. No grinding. Small cam/springs. I also have a set of Comp Cams Magnum rockers (not 5.9/5.2 Magnum) on a 318. They were $600 more than the 273’s. That’s a good looking cam. I have always liked my cams in that neighborhood. My 73 Duster has a 222 @.050...

By middle ground I meant below that is more RV type cams and above is getting more street strip type cams. It’s kind of crossover point it’s not quite rv and not street strip.

I had a lot of success getting more out of a 1970 318. I didn’t go crazy because there wasn’t much out there like today. A few things worth mentioning: You mentioned using your heads. Take an intake gasket and exhaust gasket. scribe the ports. 318 engine heads are sloppy. If you’re not in a...

Searching for information on what would make the best interchange for these two blocks. Prefer to keep the Blue 72 and sell a bare black 86 block and heads. Would like to get adjustable rockers. Wonder if cams can swap/interchange over. Will be mated with a 72 904, 8.75 or ¾ 3.23 489 Thanks in...

Plan on getting some late 60's closed chamber 318 heads, Edelbrock rpm intake, 3.23 or 3.55's 2000 stall So I would need a CR higher than 9.1?

I bet if the factory made a performance version of the 318 during the muscle car era we wouldn't be having these discussions. For some reason people have a problem not seeing an engine as a performance engine if there was not a factory one.

318 wasn't "made" to turn rpms because it didn't get the "good parts" like a 340. I've seen 318's turn 7200 rpms for years with stock bottom end. 340's havent' been made for over 50 years, folks are working with what they have or what they can get. It's ridiculous that we can't get past that...

Factory cams are so ridiculously small, you can make a decent upgrade and add good power from the very bottom and gain a few hundred usable RPM up top. cam specs from my 97 5.9 magnum were 250/264 duration w/ 398/401 lift - similar to early LA 318 cams.

What is the biggest cam you can put in a LA 318? I saw something about you can’t put high lift cams in them without grinding down the valve stem guides. Also, what mods other than springs will need to be done?

Think the point is there a way to build a 318 to similar specs as the LS 5.3l and get similar hp and torque, Mainly with similar 217 or 221 cams they used with the 5.3l to get 500 + hp.

Got it. My take was simply to make 500 horse. Frankly, I could give two pops about anything Chevy.

He done at least 3 different 400 hp 318 builds basically 225-245 cams, 9.7-10.5:1 cr, airgap headers, one with magnum heads one with ported 302 heads with 2.02 and one with older EQ then ported them out for 425 hp and and one just added xe262h cam and 4bbl and headers on stock low cr 318 for 282 hp.

I think I am going to go with Oregon cams, we discussed a few different options including re-grinding my vintage 318 cam that is good shape and made of better material. I like the idea of something not mass produced from who knows where.

They're balancing a ton of factors. Drivability, emissions, fuel consumption, 300k miles durability expectations, on and on. These are actual inputs to design.

New 340 blocks and crate engines are available aftermarket. Don't know of they're worth it but....

I don't have a car at this time. I'm researching ways to improve both the torque and throttle response of a 318. I've always liked learning about ways to improve a engines performance. I've read that short duration cams are one way, but what about cylinder heads, what runner size, valve sizes to...

Just curious, what exactly were they doing? I'm interested in your guy's experience and thoughts on this. I got one of their cams recently for a relatively mild 318 build, and in reading up on it, it was very strongly recommended on their site to use only their springs and lifters.

Here we go again, another 318 cam thread and the guys that know a lot are giving their opinions. All good until their ego's get in the way and the thread takes a turn. To the op, read through the dozens of threads already written on the subject and compile your information. Contact some cam...
