eric, what are you running for trans/converter and gears ?

Nice, steetable 318 build I would use the EQ heads drilled for LA intakes, A performer intake with either a Thermoquad or small 600cfm Eedelbrock and a small cam like a CompCams XE25O or XE254

A performer intake is from edelbrock and its a great 2 plane intake. Better low end torque than the M1. It's lighter too. They make an air gap performer now too that makes gobs of low end torque. My buddy has one on a 350, he had the regular performer 1st, and there is a noticeable difference. The air-gap needs a little more cam though.

I wouldn't use the single plane at all. You need a lot of cam, and RPMs to do anything with it. Unless you plan on being on the track most of the time. Go on ebay or even in the SB parts for sale on this site. You can get a used Edelbrock Performer for a 273/318 small block for less than $100.00. Make sure the threads are all clean, and if its magfluxed and clean of cracks its worth the little extra they'd charge. Buy used, then sand and paint it up.

The performer is much better for street/strip use. Also, run a thermoquad carburetor, a rebuild-able core shouldn't cost more than 40-50 bucks. Demonsizzler on this site charges 200 for a rebuild. Its worth it, still cheaper than a new carb, and anything used needs a rebuild anyways. You can get a GP sorenson kit and a book for 50 bucks too if you want to rebuild yourself.

The street dominator for a small block mopar is a tourqy intake with smalish runners and plenum compared to most single planes, also the runners are as long as a dual plane so they are not like most single planes.

There is no performer air-gap for a small mopar. The performer air gap for a small chevy has the same exact ports as the non a-ir gap performer for a small chevy, the only differance is the air-gap so the ideal cam would be the same for either.

I do agree about useing the thermo quad, it is a very good carb when you consider the $$$ you would spend on something else plus the heat insulateing benifits and big 800+ cfm from a carb that will run great on a little engine.

Here's the way to go for heads.
Clearwater EQ heads
You can't even buy the parts and labor to rebuild old heads for what these are going for.

I found several places cheaper than them including Hughes!!!
CCH wants $350 too high; I found some for $229 each; EQ's national sales Manager has them listed on Ebay for that! These are "bare" prices/I have plenty of valves from bum cracked heads and access to valve grinding equip to "clean them up" before installing them.
