Ok, so it looks like I will be picking up a flat tappet 318 at a price that will really help me with my budget build. It has been cleaned, cylinders honed, and cam bearings installed, and crank polished. Also have a set of magnum heads in the works at a price that will help me out as well. So with this in mind what would you do to button it up. Remember my goals are daily driver, street car, fun to drive, that will also be used on long trips when I take them. Looking for as close to 300hp as possible and as much torque as possible.

Intake, Performer or RPM. I have had two suggestions for pistons, some from hughes and the KB 167's. There was a suggestion to get the quench around 40. Anyone want to elaborate on what that means? Just trying to learn

Car is a 71 Satellite Custom, 318/904, 8 1/4 open w/ appr 2.76 gears, 245/60/15's, power disc w/ rear drums, power steering, A/C. Eventually want to go sure grip 2.94 or 3.23 at the max.

Thanks
