yet another 318 build question........

It looks like you're shooting for a pretty stock rebuild, slightly warmed up. The Kb's are nice because of the added compression they provide, that alone really helps wake up the old 318's.

With that in mind, I'd say you'd be fine sticking with the stock heads. Putting a set of 1.88/1.60 valves in the stock heads doesn't cost all that much.

360 heads are good, but you don't need bigger ports unless you're shooting for 400 hp. And then you need to have the 360 heads milled to keep compression, which will probably require custom push rods, those two things alone will cost close to $300. And you still have to buy the 360 heads. Not worthwhile in my opinion. If you really want to go with new heads, you'd be better off either going with stock magnum heads for a significant improvement for not much money at all, or the RHS X-heads for some real power. You can search "magnum heads" or "RHS heads" to get more info on the cylinder head debate. Its hard to beat the RHS heads, considering that you can get a pair for around $1,300 ready to go. Makes messing with all the machine work on an old set of 360 heads not really worthwhile.

The Torker 340 intake is a mismatch for sure, both with port size and your intended power level. Not to mention that it wasn't a particularly good intake to start with, even for its intended purpose. A stock 340 intake would be fine! Other than the weight issue (it weighs about twice as much as an aluminum version), the stock iron 340 intake has basically the same design as an Edelbrock performer intake, and for your build it would be a good match and look stock.

As far as cams go, I like the Lunati Voodoo series. The 60402 is a good cam, fairly mild, but with a good sound at idle. You can also go with a 60403 (next step up), but that's about all I would do with the rest of your build, any bigger than that and you'd want to go with headers, more aggressive intake etc.

You might also want to look at aftermarket connecting rods. For the price of reconditioning and buying ARP bolts for the stock 318 rods you can get pretty close to a set of aftermarket rods (Eagle, SCAT, etc). They're stronger than the stock 318 rods (340 rods were stronger/heavier), and really don't cost a lot more once you've done all the work to update the stockers.

And there are a TON of 318 build threads on here. Even just in the last couple of months I'd bet there are at least a dozen to look at for ideas.
