Making power out of the 318

My brothers broke into the 12's with his, but of course, we never had anything that was stock. All you had to do is ditch that Ford Autolite 4 barrel and get a decent intake and you were at 300+hp. We also ran 351 Windsor heads with Chevy 1.94 and 1.60 stainless valves.
I street raced a pinto 289 302 heads top loader 4 spd 4.56 spool 175 shot 12 inch wide tires on it idled@1800 shook like the old pro stocks ran low 12s@ the track
