The 318 NON believers

I dont know anything about building a NHRA class car....but I know it takes big $$$$.

Not familiar with "R3" ....I assume that is a special aftermarket block?

Its just that the way the OP said it, it seemed like a stock 89/90 block with some work....thanks for clearing that up.

Still, seems like its very expensive to go fast no matter what ya start out with...LOL

I dont think the original poster has chimed in since........ ???

That, I believe, was the only real issue with this thread, and the basis for some of the comments. :study:

It was made to sound like it was easy and could be done with the old 318 block & heads that are sitting out in the side yard collecting rust.:^o

And some were trying to pass it on as ''they cost the same when get to this power level''.:^o

Still is a cool thing to run this fast, but it's just short of rocket science/brain surgery to it if you read whats been done and is allowed in this class.
It would cost you around a grand at least just for the intake work....

But still cool.
