That dumb article had a stock form 340 on the pump. 281 at 5200
So you read the articles in titty books?
Ain't happenin I don't believe.
There was a pic of it with the stock carb and exh manifolds... don't know what to say.
What do YOU think?There was a pic of it with the stock carb and exh manifolds... don't know what to say.
281 sounds about right and it fell off from 5200. That avs and dinky *** cam had enough with the weak factory springs.
The old carb cfm math fails on mopars. Gives you the absolute smallest carb you should run, not the best...

where do you think i got the recipe for my world famous crab dip?
Just like their duration @ .050 math. lol
.....and herpes pancakes too I bet.
i told you, the meds cleared that right on up! healthy as a horse, not a drip!
btw, that reminds me... how's your cousin doing?
I wouldn't be surprised if that's all it made, but if I had a 340 it wouldn't be stock anyways, I find the stock hp fight's funny, especially the 230 hp 318
100% I don't think that formula as a carb formula at all.

In 1970 I never got my 3:23 four-speed Dart under 15 sec. I don’t remember the mph. Problem was lack of driving skills. I could speed shift it fine and never miss a gear, but I wound it out in each gear. I ended up wondering whether to even hit 4th. I remember a Duster beside me that I beat out of the hole gaining on each shift. Advertised or dyno hp either one couldn’t predict the et without knowing the driver. I’d short shift it for sure if I had it to do over and try to hit peak torque. Oh yeah, I’m going to try a do-over as soon as I get my dash and wiring done.

I thought the most recent and current nonsense Uncle Tony was spewing was about knurling pistons or something...he watches too many 3 Stooges auto shop episodes IMO...does anyone remember the one where Curly lights a match to look into the gas tank to see if there's any gas...?

I've said this many times regarding 318s "If there was some easy affordable recipe to make them go fast we would have known in the 80s...the recipe is and was to get a 340 or 360..."
Way back before the internet and cable tv, Mopar published a series of books about engines and chassis that consolidated all the factory speed secrets they had developed with racers through the 60s and 70s. When I was a kid, these were the source of the most reliable information on going fast, handling well, and stopping quickly in a Dodge or Plymouth. These books have been published non-stop since the 1970s and are still available today. Also in that time have been a number of different books from various performance publishing companies that outline things from basic engine rebuilds to performance builds and advanced suspension dynamics. Any of these can be purchased through your local Dodge dealer, but since you have the internet, you can find them nearly anywhere. I'd encourage you look over the selection available here, which is a vendor that was part of some of the original factory efforts and has specialized in performance Mopars since the 1960s.

It's to the point where Some channels Are gaining views just by rebutting what he says. Now that's comicalI thought the most recent and current nonsense Uncle Tony was spewing was about knurling pistons or something...he watches too many 3 Stooges auto shop episodes IMO...does anyone remember the one where Curly lights a match to look into the gas tank to see if there's any gas...?

You noticed that too? I was surprised Powell machine even acknowledged Tony. I figure there are two kinds on Youtube the guys who actually work on cars and the ones that don't the TV watchers. The couch potatoes love Uncle Tony. But back on topic it is worth mentioning Vizard wrote books on Small Block Chevy performance he's not a Mopar guy I know an engine is an engine but Mopars are their own thing. a Chevy guy can screw a Mopar up. Tony if he had a 340 or a 426 hemi he would sell it to pay his rent etc. its only fair to know who you are listening to on YT and what their motives are etc..

Won't all small blocks respond the same with similar modifications?
These guys all have something to offer on you tube with the TV guys trying a little harder to sell you their
sponsors products so they might get results you and I can't..just watch it and watch out!
Now if we could just get a 3.58 stroke crank into a 318 painlessly it might be a pretty good platform.
Hmm..I think one of the domestics did something similar in 1997 ?

You would think however they all aren't the same I saw a guy throw wires on an Olds firing order same as a 350 Chevy only it didnt start the distributor spun the other (counterclockwise) direction for some reason...
If you view the engine as a simple air pump, yes. However, in between the different makes there are some very critical differences in how the heads flow, how much velocity, swirl and tumble those heads generate, cam height, lifter angles, parasitic drag, rotating mass, etc, so on and so forth that all have impacts on how well its performs.
In the Mopar world, compare the modern Hemi to a mid 60s 273 Commando, which was a hot small block in its time. So hot in fact, that it won the very first Trans Am over 2.0 liter race. While we call it a Hemi, its really a pent roof wedge built on small block architecture. These two engines are worlds apart in efficiency, power and capability.
