Here we go: let's keep it up and pretty soon we'll be telling him he NEEDS an aluminum block Hemi.
The cool thing is to start out with the 318, get the vehicle running safely and then upgrade power if you want to. 360s, 408s and Mag motors will drop in wherever the 318 would. As would a 5.7 Hemi.
BTW, the "Street Rodder" Moparts forum would be a better place to ask this question.
