MOPARJ
What can I upgrade now?
Will an M1 mopar intake for a small block bolt up fairly well on 318 2bbl heads, or will the ports be completely mismatched?
The M1 ports will be bigger than the 318 ports. The Edelbrock Performer has ports that match the 318 pretty good. I have one on my 318 in my Duster and in your case it would be a good one to use with a stock motor. You can put either a square bore carb (Carter, Holley) or a spreadbore carb (Thermoquad, Q-Jet) on it. I have a Q-jet on mine and I get 17 - 18mph combined.
