Easiest/Cheapest way to a 4bbl 318?
I would leave the heads for now on the motor.
If the engine does not smoke and sounds like it's in good working order, don't change anything but the cam\intake\carb and add a set of headers.
You can always add a set of heads later on.
Just this alone will suck up some money and you want some left over for the unexpected things that always happen.
You will need a set of mufflers and a set of pipes.
I would run the muffler system to just in front of the rear end with down spouts.(cheapest)
I also suggest a set of thrush welded series mufflers.//29.99 a piece.
Just this alone will hit the bank kind of hard.
IF you have the money for heads then i would get a set from areo racing all redone for $399.00.
Take the new set of heads to the local machine shop and have them cut .030 thousands and and about .036 on the intake side of the heads.
Just tell the machine shop you want .030 off the heads and they will measure and cut the intake side however much they need to.
I would leave the heads on for know if i where you.
65.000 miles.that"s pretty low mileage.
By the way these heads have new valve springs\guides\seals and the 1.88 intake valve installed.all brand new stuff.
