First post here.. I'd like to build a 318 for drag race use. Max 8000 rpm.Would like to know what you guys would use for all parts for the build. However there are 2 items the engine must use...
Edelbrock cylinder heads
ThermoQuad carburetor.
No it's not a NHRA/IHRA engine for class racing,but would like to build along those parameters.
Cam,intake header size,crank,rods pistons,oiling system etc... what would you use?
Engine will be in a A-body Duster.
You willed need to do some major port work on the heads ( 300 cfm range ). With some mods, the carb will work ( even the 800 ). I'd go with a Victor 340 manifold, 1 7/8" - 2" on the primary size for the headers, Quality rotating assembly ( Forged crank, H beams, Diamond pistons ). Oiling mods as suggested for sure. Solid roller ( custom grind )from Comp, etc. I like ThermoQuads too. Have fun.
