if i could get the 273 heads ported really well and then fit a 4." crank like Hot Rod Dave mentioned..THAT might get me to where i want to be for a good cruiser...what do ya think?

ps, custom pistons would be called for, i'm sure..




why? it gets you a way undersquare 330 CID engine....

just bore a 318 .060 over and you're at 328 CID.

what are the plans for the car? how much power do you want to make? what kind of mileage are you hoping for?

best bang for the buck is pick up a running 318 magnum, put hughes #1110 valve springs, regrind the roller cam, add an eddie air gap, headers, and a 600 cfm edelbrock.

if you want to build, I'd go 318 LA roller block, KB167's, heads of your choice (If aluminum, I'd look at eddie magnums), reground roller cam (keep in in the 218@.050 or under), headers, and an eddie air gap (or maybe an LD340 opened up for a t-quad or q-jet)

diamond and Icon (Keith Black Piston's Forged line) make shelf pistons for a 318/4" stroke as well, yielding 390 cubes)
