fixing up my 318
 

i was wondering what a good set up would be for my 318....i have 360 heads already and a victor 2 340 intake for it wat else should i get to make this baby rock....

Call a good cam company (comp cams did mine) tell them what you want out of the car and they can make the best suggestion for you. If you are looking for high rev's and high end HP that is a different cam than low RPM's and short bursts (street) I put a motorhome spec cam in one of my Darts with a small blosk and it pulled like a freightrain out of the hole.

The most important thing is getting all the parts to work together.

okay thank you do you think that victor 2 340 is to big for lower rpms?.....cuz all i want is street racing not drag.

or would i be better of to just try buyin a good solid 340 or 360.

yeah a victor 2 might be a bit much. Try a good two plane like an Edelbrock rpm air gap. Try to raise the compression also [pistons]

okay thank you. would you say keep it a 318?...or go 340 to 360

The 318s are a great, solid motor that can take a lot of abuse and keep asking for more. You could always get the parts you want and when a deal for a 360 pops up, you can swap all the parts over.

A 340 may be a bit much in the $$$ department as they demand a god amount just for themselves in stock condition. but If you have the $$$ and really want it, go for it!

okay sounds like a good plan let me know if you guys find any good deals on a 360 or 340....but i'll just work on fixing up my 318 while i'm at it

You almost can't go to a good wrecking yard without finding a usable 360. You could probably find one on Craigslist. I got my big blocks from craigslist, including my cracked 400 :(

Hope this helps.
