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.
These naysayers are ridiculous. You need about 540 horse to reach your goal, you already have Ed heads, get them ported by someone good, they will go over 300 cfm at .700 lift when done properly, this will support over 600 horse. Being small displacement it will need some rpm so build it with that in mind. Honda rod journals with rods atleast 6.300 long, good light pistons, 13+ compression, paired shaft 1.7 ratio rockers, spend time to get the geometry perfect, ported super victor intake, custom solid roller with good PR oiling lifters. Have the carb done by a superstock carb builder, and youll be there.
