Looks to me more like that whole package there could use some upgrading. Make sure to do a different set of heads, stock 318 heads don't flow for squat. Also if you're planning on doing a rebuild, have you considered going for the extra cubes of a 360?

Sounds like my old 318. I agree with the above post. If you're going to do all that work; pistons etc. might as well get a 360. You basically have a nice setup already.

find a late model 318 or 360 magnum take out that runs good, swap the springs for hughes 1110's and junkyard 2.2L retainers, get the cam reground by bullet with their HR259/316 lobe for both intake and exhaust, buy a magnum dual plane intake (eddie RPM, M1, or PP) and enjoy.....

You should check out last months Car Craft magazine. They had an article about LA Mopars. The supercharger store has got a built and boosted 318 pushing 600 plus horsepower. To be different its an interesting read. I'd try and talk with the guys at Hughes Engines. They have really good info.
