good luck with that, let us know how that works for you.

If you're stubborn like me go with the 318 just to be annoying

attention to detail & good machine work is your friend

Runs good, how much hp did your 340 make on the pump?

Geeze, I hope not, cause I don't have many feathers left.

Keith Black IC845 dome pistons
Scat 4340 rods w/ 7/16 cap screws

Shift at 7000RPM and hit the finish line at 7000RPM. Should live a long life and run high tens, 1/4 mile, and high sixes, 1/8th mile.

My demon w/std stroke 360s went 10.30s at 3100lbs and w/stroker 360 at 418 c.i. has been 9.60s 1/4 mile and 6.0s 1/8th mile. The 360/418 just reached 2000 passes on it today, and went 9.89 at 133mph. This is with production cast iron heads, 587 casting# and a STX-22 Racer Brown solid lifter cam. 2000 passes without the crankshaft and pistons removed from the block and no valve job. A high 10 second 318/w eddys is an easy goal.



My friends 64 Dart w 414c.i. 360 and my race ported eddy RPMs went 9.59 at 137 today. 3050 lb car.

So does this have to be a stock stroke deal where it HAS to be 318", or do you just want to run a 318 block? If stock stroke the qwkmopardan seems to have the formula

Not really... if he will be running aftermarket heads that should
flow a fair bit more.. the cam has to coincide with the
flow.. and 7000 inst gonna cut it in a class type engine
to 318.... go ask any of those class racers what rpm they
turn
EDIT
also... you dont want a 727.. a 904 is a better
trans for that application and if you really want
to go all out.. rollerise it... dyno the engine
so you know where the torque is for a conv.. it
wouldnt surprise me to see about 6000 stall

Again, the info is much appreciated.

Yes I want to run a 3.31 stroke.

Some have PM'ed me about if this is really a disguised class combo. No it's not,if that was the case,I could have went to the Class Racer site and picked their brains.

I have some small block parts that I hace collected over the years. Being not to far from Atlanta,and the fact i had a good friend that was with Chrysler for many years gave me the opportunity to buy parts and get good deals. I want to use the TQ carb since it was Chrysler used and the fact a lot say " run a Holley".

Qwkmopardan has a great post,please keep the info coming.

thats a $20K + build, go for it

If I wanted to do that(a 20K build) there are several engine builders that cater to that type of engine,and I would just use them,if I had that kind of cash.

Let's be positive.

the positive message is, if you want to run a 318ci motor that will get you in the 10.70s you are going to spend a ton of money. just to build a 318 because you have a few doesn't make any since. you can build a stroker 360/340 for half the money and live longer. like I said go for it if you think it can be done. one member here B3 has a 323ci motor that runs strong maybe he will see this. really I wish you luck.

By formula I meant the overall basics, not following it exactly: massive cam (270+@.050 is gigantic in a 360, more so in a 318), very high stall, really deep gears, everything pretty extreme, etc.
qwkmopardan what did your 587 heads flow?

for doing something a little bit different. It aint all about just a low ET. Keep us tuned in on the build. TQ mods also.

I fully understand 318Racer's desire to build something challenging, there's nothing wrong with that, but you have to ready yourself for some serious disappointment if it doesn't run the numbers after spending all this money.
There are very few stock'ish motors that run like Qwkmopardan, and I believe B3422W5 runs in the 11.20's with his 323" motor but it was well sorted out in the engine masters program if I remember correctly.
My 346" motor in my 3200 pound scamp only went 11.70's with stage2 Eddy heads and Ross dome pistons, it was a street car with mechanical water pump and fan but it still had 4.56 gears and trapped at 7200.
I switched to a 400 block and 440 crank(451)and went 9.80's and had alot more fun for the money.
You might be able to do alot of homework and get all the right parts and make the 10.70's happen but it won't be easy.

I started racing using the Direct Connection recipe's from stock down into the 10 second bracket. They were very accurate for my 440 powered Cuda. 9 seconds, not so much. The only thing you are missing is that (in my book, anyway) the 318 10 second build needs the car to weigh in at 2850. You have the right tranny, right gears, right SIZE carb, and if you can get the heads flowed properly. I don't know comparisons of W2 heads to Eddies. So your powertrain looks on track, but car needs a diet.

A 318 is nothing but a 340 with 22 less ci by bore, what you're wanting to accomplish while keeping a reasonable budget is quite attainable, the Super Stock 318 heads only flow about 240 cfm @ 28".

I'd send a PM to member W5DART66 to see if he'd be interested in doing your heads, along with recommending a cam and other parts. He has experience making big steam with the 318 OE based block platform.

8300-8500 at the stripe
904 tricked out protrans
cam-just have to figure out what motor wants.
same thing with conv. I have tried them all.
Takes time&dedication and a lot of hard work.

"my friends 64 Dart"..... thinking that's the one that just split a bore in a block I was reading about.

What you decide to run with for heads, intake and carb will pretty much set the max rpm and power you can achieve. Stock heads ,even fully ported, will limit airflow quite a bit and the torque peak will be much lower than a larger port head. The choice of those items will then help you pick the cam and headers, and how much you have to work on the oil system.
The first thing to do is to set your budget. That will tell you how much you can dedicate to heads and head work. A lot of the other parts are going to be the same price, or close.
Sticking with the 750 might limit your head choice as well. That is something to talk over with a good engine builder.

It did start drinking water after the second pass yesterday. Engine is old and I sonic tested the cyl walls a couple winters ago and they were on the thin side, but a lot of cash was already spent so he had to use it. Just used his car as an example of capabilities of eddy RPM heads. Only flowed around 275 IIRC. Those heads on a 318 would feed it very well and only a high 10 second goal, easy. $6000 budget would get him an engine to do what he is looking for.
