No, I was running 72 340 "J" heads with 1.88 intakes and 1.60 exhaust. The heads were milled .040 to get 65cc chambers. I did check before I did the final assy.
400 hp 5.2l vs 5.9l Magnums

Definitely would have to be spun to 7000 rpm the 318 is at 6200 rpm, could use Rhoads lifters to be more streetable.
If you noticed, the smaller engine with the higher flowing ports make the same HP with a smaller cam. 273's run solid lifter cams and I would not have it any other way.
My turn….
Have you built your own engines if so, how many?
Have you worked in a machine shop?
Do you rebuild your own heads?
Have you been asked to build engines for others?
If so how many?
Any schooling?
Any family in drag racing or other racing venues?
How many generations?
Are you or have you been a professional mechanic?
If so, how many years?

At least you can half way lol
I know that’s what you been saying cause ask if that’s been your basic premise not mine.
Sure
LMAO—- Oooooooooooooo Kay!!!!!
Incorrect. Yours since you mentioned it first and took that route and now your saying what I never said but what you said so if that confusion for you perhaps you should not mention something so obvious and the. Call me out on your own short comings of understand what you think you said and assumed I said or purposely flipped the direction in an effort to hide your own short comings by twisting words around and trying to trick people into thinking I said something I didn’t but what you said first in order to crutch a smaller engine making less power which we all know will loose to the larger engine no matter how you twist the words of adding more torque through gear ratio to do the obscure and make more torque than the bigger engine when you never gave the option of another gear ratio for the larger engine to compete.
Totally slanted in the wrong way. Hyper confused you are.
You assumption is mid leading and only fooling those that don’t know and if you truly believe the **** your shoveling that you are dumber than I thought you are which is constantly showing with totally outlandish assumptions and straight up stating things as fact.
You need to take a look at the whole picture and stop one siding the dribble you spew. You are taking this to a joker level of dizzying heights. You must live the lack of oxygen.
No mostly done is added basic performance parts to stock short block mostly 318’s
Yes my uncle owns and operates a Top Alcohol car and manufactures his own cnc hemi blocks, my cousin ran late model help him, his dad built a lot of engine when we were kids learn a lot through him hanging around.
Work for my dad’s garage on and off.
Do I have as much experience as you probably not doesn’t mean I can’t know things.
You literally typed that’s what you been saying how’s that me flipping it. Lol
Yes sir
What ya got so far?
(Tell me it’s more than a pipe dream loaded with wacky weed!)
(Tell me it’s more than a pipe dream loaded with wacky weed!)
It’s what you said earlier
Your confusing & confused
Bottom line where this started is YOU said in a response the 318 will make more torque than the 360 with a gear change.
Bullshit because your not allowing the 360 any such benefit

Now you’re twisting the words around. Altering the meaning and bullshitting the people.
Caught ya red handed trying to twist things around.

Ya know what?
Whatever dude, I’m growing my hands up in the air right now on your lies and stupidity.
Enjoy!

That's exactly how I feel talking with you
It's like we don't speak the same language lol
I finally get the problem, your under the impression if you gear the 360 more the added torque matters it's doesn't, it's the HorsePower to the ground that matter and gears do nothing for hp, Cause you guys are obsessed with torque especially the difference larger engines have over smaller ones so I was just pointing when two engine of similar power curves but different torque curves with proper gearing basically equals the torque out to the ground.
Why a 318 needs more gear is to get into it's powerband so both are putting similar power down at similar places on the track since they have similar power curves. Not saying the 318 will win or better but similar 1/4 mile performance wise.
When for eg. you make 400 hp with a bunch of different size engines will divide it into different ratios of torque and rpm and proper gearing will basically have to redivide the torque and rpm to line up the hp curves of the different engines of similar power curves.
Couldn't figure out why you couldn't get passed the 360 gearing, now I see

My 360s been on the stand ready to go for 15 years. Stock bottom end with the template ported heads R/T cam and factory top end kit, 1.7 roller rockers, springs, guide plates. m1 intake. Always wanted to know how it would perform, now that I have a valve grinder I’ll pull heads to do them. Get the Duster done and try this engine this summer, btw I have the .501 cam to try also. Can’t wait
Incorrect, this is what you stated
After several posts you admitted to it.
Nether engines gear ratio was never mentioned so I said why can’t the 360 get more gear?
It’s all on the theoretical. Right?
Running to much gear is a possible problem (if your not careful in going upwards in numbers and have no tach to watch) but leaning hard to one side of suggesting I’d over gear the 360 just to compete and then have a claim to a victory is insane. Carefully wording questions to create a slant in your favor was underhanded and deceptive on your behalf.
Imagine what fun one could have if I went back and chopped up your sentences and twisted each direction and meaning on them and twisted the words and created false impressions and made accusations on you?
Not honest misunderstandings!
Oui!When for eg. you make 400 hp with a bunch of different size engines will divide it into different ratios of torque and rpm and proper gearing will basically have to redivide the torque and rpm to line up the hp curves of the different engines of similar power curves.
