If you watch the Engine Master competition where the do odd ball engines like the 318 Poly, Nail head, old Cadillac, Chev 307 etc... Making 500 + or whatever hp takes a similar recipe just there's little to no off the shelf part for some of those engine, if you put the right heads and cam, cr...

72 was the last year for the forged teen crank. Car engines anyway.

They were until they switched to roller cams after the 78 model year, at least the trucks I know for a fact were. Everything else switched to cast cranks in 73. That’s why it used to be a popular thing to swap in a 318 crank when rebuilding a 72/73 340 since it was a direct swap.

K. Thanks. I was just wondering. I know that comp cams and lunati show the advertised duration, it's no big deal I was just curious

No 318 ever came with a 340 cam and very few 360 did, most 4bbl 360 had 2bbl cams.

Im going to keep this in my back pocket fro my 318 build which Ill jot down my build below see what ya think

that would entail you actually, you know, getting a car. which, no worries about you losing this little side bet because you aren't gonna have a car by then anyway.

While their springs are generally a good idea, they want to sell you their whole valve train as they say it matches, well I dont like their lifters. They make a big deal about spring wire lock rings failing and use stamped lock rings which they say are bulletproof. Well show me the data where...

This would be a great cam.

With what you're using it for and if you prefer a Howards grind, i'd prefer this one. Hydraulic Flat Tappet Camshaft; 1964 - 2003 Chrysler 273, 340, 360, 318 1800 to 5600 Howards Cams 711651-12 | Howards Cams Not much gear and lowish compression leads me to go easy on the intake duration. This...

Here are the numbers I got from having a 2000 Ram 5.9 cam run through the Cam Doctor at Bullet Cams: Duration @ 0.050: I/E 189*/194* Lobe separation angle: 111* Lift @ cam: I/E 0.273"/0.278" Valve lift w/ 1.6 rockers: I/E 0.437”/0.445”

Nice reply TVT59! We were always told back in the day you had to have a 440 to run a ten. Never saw any Euro Mopars running 10's with a smallblock. Most of the 340 diehards ran mid 11's and that seemed the 'LIMIT' for them. So we all bought ex Jensen Interceptor 440's as they was common and...

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...

It's not about staying where your/I'm at, I don't know if you notice but most asking for build advice especially for 318 are generally novist and Super Stock, F.A.S.T, Pro Stock, Sprint Car, Nascar info and mods might be a little above their pay grade while they're trying to figure out which RV...

Hey peeps! Anyone ever run one of these? On their 318? Been offered one of these COMP Cams 20-225-4 COMP Cams Xtreme Energy Camshafts | Summit Racing Hopefully should wake it up a bit as it's the heads and cam that let it down now. 1970 318 V8 stock bottom end Eddie performer intake Eddie...

Sounds good.. if you want to get it done look at some howards cams in the same specs... they are good about keeping stock

I've ran all 3 in 318's. Yes, they'll make a difference, but, neither of those offer any more off idle stomp than the 318 2bbl cam, results are seen once you get it going. I've had 318's that took some getting used to for a new driver because they would lay rubber at the tap of the gas, and...

And stop the excuses. It like Ferris Buller. My sister's, cousins, friend, knows a guy who's friend saw a car at 31 Flavors I am going look at. Get a car 1st. Quit worrying about cams, intake, exhaust, etc. You going to start a thread on if nitrogen in tires is better with a 318 next?

This is the TWO problems I see: [1] You have a heavy car with a small-ish engine. [2] Take the 318, rated at 230 hp. And you mess around with cams, heads & get a 10% increase in hp. That is 23 hp. If you started with a 440 & did the same, you get 37 hp more. If you had a light car like a Dart...

I know there are scads of "318 cam" threads here. The op needs to read up on the volumes of information already written and compiled here. BTW, there are Melling and Sealed Power cams available for mild small block applications...

Pretty sure Howards grinds the cams for Hughes engines. If you have a search around on the Howards cams website they have a pdf with all their lobe profiles listed on it, there are some interesting lobes there. Doesn't cost that much more to pick what you want and have them grind you a cam. I...

I have a similar 318 build with 8.7-1 compression, 2.02 J heads, and I used the Comp Cams XE268 that has similar specs to yours. I installed it 4 degrees advanced and it has excellent low end performance. Out of steam by 5500 but that’s ok. Just make sure the valve springs are spec’d to the cam...

Cue the "cams for 318's" show theme song in 3...2...1...

Yes, that's what I said. The 318 roller was slightly hotter than the 360 roller, and translates into a mild upgrade when installed in a Magnum.

I'll do that. I don't mean to disturb things, it's that I like to read and research things out and sometimes I don't ask questions the correct way

You asked pretty open ended question, no mention of 318 just 108 vs 112. And for what you want do you need none of this. You trying to over science a very mild combo. When you get a car pick a half dozen of mildest cams and ask which one peeps would go with.

The 350 is making about 30 hp more at 3,000 rpm then the 318 pretty good gain, but the 350 also has better flowing heads.

Do you mean a "stock" 318 ? Or a 318 that has been set up for a large cam?

A friend of mine built a 318 with the TRW 340 repo cam. I don't know if it was the 68 manual spec, but it ran like a scalded dog. You never would guess it was 22 ci down with a set of 3.91's and a stick.
