318 w/360 heads are pigs. can't make em run! sorry : get a la360 short block and use your cam and top end keep your cost at a minimum.you'll be happy, I did the same thing way back when and it just don't work for fast. 360-you will be happy. jeff57




I had quite the opposite experience.

Granted, a 360 bottom end will always outperform one with a 318 bottom end, but mine did well for what it was.




Same here, '82 Ramcharger, 318 w/ '82 360 heads, 4 bbl, otherwise stock. Ran MUCH better and beat up on 305 4 bbl Chevy trucks on a regular basis back in the mid '80's. 2¢

I often wonder if, when someone has a combo that didn't work, it turns out that the cam wasn't degreed or a good curve wasn't in the distributor, etc. It's the little things that can really add up!

Seen guys give up on combinations because of the above and were just a few tweaks away from having a stout running combo!
