All,

I REALLY appreciate all of the info so far.I hope there will be more info. I didnt post anywhere else,Moparts seems to have a lot of good knowledge.


If this engine works out,and does what it needs to do,then I may consider running it in class. No way could I be a record holder,but if somewhat competitive.But that thought is way way way way down the road.I'd have to upgrade my car too,and to be honest,I like bracket racing. I like combos that everyone says cant be done.

I used to race 440 Chryslers...great engines,but everyone turns their noses up at the ol' 318. I really think it can be a good engine. If it doesnt need to go high RPM,I'm good with that. I always heard you had to rev a small block.440's obviously,you dont. I just would like you guys to tell me what the best stuff is to use. I just had 2 restrictions,the heads and the carburetor.And I'd like to go 10.70's.Even the old Direct Connection "bible" has a 10 second 318 combo,but I think it's a stretch there.
