Any 10 second "All Throttle" 318's in door cars ?

How much work do you want to do? I can tell you what you need. It’s not hard.

You can do it on iron heads IF you dont mind grinding. You need a single plane intake. At least 1.750 headers. 1.875 would be better.

You‘ll need to be in the 285ish cam range. No less than 11:1 compression.

You need to make power at 7k and shift at 7400-7500, so you need a GOOD oil pan with the biggest diameter pick up you can find. The Milodon Super Stock pan is the BEST choice. Good luck finding one. I have two. With the near impossible to find pick ups.

You should have pistons without tractor rings. 1/16 rings should be the thickest ring you should have and an .043 or 1 mm ring would be better.

The rest is getting the valve job right, the round stuff round and the straight stuff straight.
Can you please share some pictures of this oil pan and the pickup? Maybe one could hand fabricate/ make a close copy of that stuff. I’d like to see what we’re workin with. :)
 
I'm still waiting for the wild 318 builds out there. I don't think there are very many making an HONEST 450 HP.
Maybe you could get IQ52 to share his 462hp 292 build. I guess there's always wishful thinking.

Yeah, I don't expect a lot. I think post 3 was a good'n. I fully understand most will grab a 360 because they are just as easy and cheap to grab, so grab the extra 42 cubes. But I'm just looking at what I have already, and "why not just see" what it can do.... ???? .... was more of my thought. 275 hp 318's are all over. If I do something with this 318, I want it to be something a little more radical. Other than that, I'm not very interested.
 
There was a local car that came up for sale that was supposedly running 11.20's @ 119 mph in a 4000 lbs sedan. Nothing exotic:

323ci small block w/360j heads victor junior manifold crane solid,crane gold rockers ,holley 750hp methanol carb,full foaling rods, je lumpy pistons, stud kit top n bottom etc etc.
it also comes with pace maker pipes port matched n heat wraped.

The trans is a 904 with all the goodies 4500 stall,deep pan.

Its all still in my car running. we est a good 500hp it ran a good solid 11.2@119 in my chrysler by chrysler 4 door in full trim, droped exhaust.

Those pipes are 1.78 from memory and the cam was somewhere in 250's Comp was around 12-1

Heres another one from this forum

A buddy of mine runs a 318 in his scamp that has run a best of 10.82 @ 123.

Numbers matching block-crank-rods....cast crank.11.8 compression.
5000 grand convertor with trans brake.
2850 weight without driver.
Victor intake ported by Hughes.
.557 purple shaft solid.
308 casting heads---ported with 2.02 valves.
4.88 gears.
30 inch tall tire.
It's a street car also.
The best part is the short block is 15 years old and it's still running.

Again nothing exotic.
 
THat is a nice article. Yes, I also do not believe 7k+ is needed, as the article suggest.
Bet you could do it with a well ported magnum head but would be easier with a trick flow or similar allowing milder cam choices.

oh you'll need to shift at 7000 for sure. you stated 10.99, so I'm holding you to it. lol
There's no backing out now, 10.99 or bust. lol

Hold yer Hoss !!!! I "asked" if there were 10.99 318's out there. I didn't say I was "building" a 10.99 318....

:lol:

It's a tall order. Just to see what you may need, this one ran low 10's/9.90's. I have posted it before. Fairly serious to go that fast. 10.90's are a mile apart from 9.90's though. .030 318, W2's, Enderle Injected/methanol, 5500 stall, Glide, 4.88's in a 9", 2750 with driver.

Did you photo-chop PBR ??? LOL... What I was hoping to find is a few different combos of some fast 318's on throttle. So far, I'd say the article posted (an extension from post 3) was a gold mine. If I move forward AFTER the 5.2 for the "Change and Challenge" Duster, I will have no goal other than to make a rowdy feisty 318. If it flopped and ran a 13.0 in my Duster, so be it. IF it ran a 11.7, then yippee !!! :) IF it went 10.99, oh boy, would I have fun in THAT new thread :D :D :D

I get the attraction. Just keep telling yourself, the difference between a Teen and a 340 is only 22 cu. in.

yes. And what I really keep looking at is the parts I have just sitting..... and sitting, including the 318 on the stand. So I ask myself .... "why not" ??? Those parts are just as accessible on a 318 as they are scattered around. I could build it, run it, pull it, and borrow from it anytime I needed.
 
Nice read, thanks !! That build is certainly "ball park" to what I am thinking.
You know I am following along. I also have a roller Teen block, a forged 273 crank and a set of Speedmaster heads. I could probably make a fun little mill.

I have roller SM heads as you know, I have adjustable 273 rockers/shaft and push rods, the '85 318, I have air gap intakes but no single planes anymore. I think the crank and rods would live happily with ARP rod bolts, and the block is good. Motor is still basically a turn key on the stand minus carb/distributor. I have roller cam cores to have reground. Again, I don't think I'm "thousands" away at all from building this thing.

crosswinds knockoff dual plane on that 318 I ran as well.
I guess it was “ trick” but other than light rings and some weight taken off the crank, it used, relatively speaking, Walmart parts..lol
Lots of things that could really upgrade that piece quite a bit.
Sad too, the guy I sold it to I doubt extremely seriously has ever pressed the go pedal through the floorboard. He bought it because he had a white Duster in high school, and likes the show poodle lifestyle.
He insisted I drive it to his house and he would bring me back in his driver. Was scared of it.
I dropped the hammer immediately after pulling out of my business with him. I left him to rake out the passenger seat after he returned home

"Rake out the passenger seat" that's epic!
 
Playing with the calculators..... Online calculator says 447 hp to run 10.99 in a 3000 lbs car ..... That would be with the ideal converter and gears, I get that.
So is the question 447 hp obtainable? That is 1.4 hp per cubic inch. I would think yes.
High compression, good heads, a lot of cam and a really good carb and you can get the 447 hp. Guys are making 600 out of stock stroke 340s and 360s. That's workable

Gotta love that! That 440 small block is a work of art too!
