Huh?
Even if you do all that stuff you're still missing about 80hp/100 lb/tq compared to a stock 2barrel 318.
??? Comparing factory net hp ratings, there's only 50 hp difference, stock to stock.

Guess I'm slow then . . .

Why would you trash the bulkhead connector? The engine leans the other way.
Just more slant hateration, I assume.
If you want a V8, fine. No need to keep ragging on slants, though. Slants have been good, solid, reliable engines for 40+ years. And my mildly-modded is anything but slow.
But hey, if you break the bulkhead when you pull your engine, it's the engine's fault, right?

What you should do is find a rusted or wrecked car (or truck) with a good running 318 and good trans in it, take everything, and put it in your car.
I just now located a '77 Aspen wagon the guy is using for a daily driver with a 318/904 and will sell to me for $500. And, another buddy has volunteered to haul the body to the scrap yard for me.
That's the way it's done

Find an 85' or later M body. The 318s in them had the roller cams and swirl port heads (302 castings). They were only light on power due to the smog equipment, which I don't think would be following over with it anyways.

or keep the slant and get an A833OD manual. my duster is a stock 1bbl slanty with the OD tranny (3.09 first, 1.74 2nd, 1:1 3rd, .73 OD). with 25" tall tires and a 3.21 rear it keeps up with modern traffic just fine, and knocks down 24-26 combined mpg

I rebuilt the one barrel Holley a couple of days ago and that really helped with the idle and smoothness of the engine. However, it is still gutless. So, I had my wife floor the gas pedal (engine off, of course) while I looked down the carb throat. It doesn't even go to half throttle. After inspecting it some more, I discovered it has an incorrect throttle cable on it. In fact, it looks more like an aftermarket transmission kickdown cable adapted to fit. Anyway, I placed a parts wanted ad on Moparts last night and have already gotten several responses. Thanks Moparts.

I have the correct throttle cable on my slant 6 and it's still slower than molasses dripping uphill.
