and .like .150 more stroke...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.

I moved my springs in about 3/8", yes on a 8" wheel... but it's too tight to the body for my liking... i also have a 62 b-body and i'm just a spy on these forums so... no idea on a a-body.. plus i have 4.57 gears and i wanted a big diameter to eat some of that up.. otherwise i would have a smaller tireDo they fit with stock rear suspension? 8-1/4 rear end?
On a 8" steel wheel?
Further
my headers are a PITA to take off the driver side routes under the steering and there is no way the big old starter could be removed, I assume it's a older long tube design.
They are in bad shape and I think I have to replace them
So what SB header does clear a 74 duster with power steering ..
Long or shorty headers?
No guess work
Cid x VE% is probably the biggest factor for torque. (technically a 318 x 96% = 360 x 85% = 306)and .like .150 more stroke...
You enjoyed that didn't you?Cid x VE% is probably the biggest factor for torque. (technically a 318 x 96% = 360 x 85% = 306)
Hp at 2,000 - 3,000 rpm is 38%-57% of torque.
That 318 is making similar low speed power as a stock 2bbl 360 but ya ain't gonna make same as a warmed over 360, but generally you should be running deeper gears with a 318 so should be comparing the engines hp at the rpms they be at for any given mph. Say 318 is at 3300 rpm while 360 is at 2900 rpm at X mph then those are the hp numbers that we should be comparing. So a lot depends on gearing which most leave as an after thought.
I didYou enjoyed that didn't you?
I honestly never thought bout it how you explained it, that was well written.. my caveman mind just thinks More stroke=More torque...I think it's relevant to the OPs question there's many ways to get there, wherever there is
For any given hp your generally just trading rpm and torque back and forth, while hp gets transmitted straight through minus rotational, friction etc.. losses until it gets to the ground. Engine size is the 1st swapping of rpm and torque for a given hp.I honestly never thought bout it how you explained it, that was well written.. my caveman mind just thinks More stroke=More torque...
Got the bottle of Jergens out again?made myself laugh
True. My 273 Valiant was a nice highway car with 2.76 with a 26'' tire. But getting to 65 MPH seemed to take forever.Avatar photo.So a lot depends on gearing which most leave as an after thought.
Got it.on a 9.5:1 318 with ported 302's and a MP P4452761 (.450/.455 268/272 110LSA) with a performer RPM and 750 3310 i laid down a respectable 330hp @ 5750
with aftermarket heads and a airgap, i don't see why you couldn't be in the 350 range as long as keep the compression up. chasing much more than that requires a bigger cam that will only lessen the street manners while narrowing the power band and move it higher in the RPM range.
fwiw, a melling MTD-1 would come in fairly similar numbers wise and would be a good VFM pick if you're not going for all out power.
works great with some 4.56's and a 3500 stall!K6900? 278/288/112
This is a joke right?
doug's or TTI unless you go fenderwell.Got it.
I Need to know what headers to get , that Don't entangle the steering linkage?
Yeah sure, if an engine has pressure but did you see his specs?works great with some 4.56's and a 3500 stall!
UH OH! V/P gonna be low, tisk tisk tiskworks great with some 4.56's and a 3500 stall!
it'll be fine! just more gear and stall!Yeah sure, if an engine has pressure but did you see his specs?
107 to 115 psi
Lordy lordy, I'm out
pish-posh! that's just what it says on paper...UH OH! V/P gonna be low, tisk tisk tisk
not just low, but almost non existent.UH OH! V/P gonna be low, tisk tisk tisk
Break out a thousand.Got it.

That's because Ford was really good at getting more from less.A higher compression 302 ford would make about similar low speed torque as low compression 318, Ford guys seem to have no problem with running 302s, or even 289s.
Red xThen as a 318 owner myself.. i will say... go on market place and find a 360.... you will have much more torque and power for much less money.. on a good day you can find one for $300ish.. put in a cam and intake and you will probably be in the same range as the 318 with heads/cam/intake... would be a better bang for the buck.
