Yup, another 318 thread

Sounds like a good plan to me. Although the converter is not needed, it will be a nice addition. Certainly, with the 3.91s, you'll have no trouble acheiving lockup. Just because the cam *might* not need the converter, doesn't mean it won't add to the combo. None of the later Mopar engines *needed* the factory high stall converters because of cam, but a lot still got them. Also, everybody tends to lock their brain in 360 mode. In a 318, your original cam choice is more radical than in a 360. I am sure that is ground on 110 lobes like all the rest of comp's stuff.....so 227 @ .050" in a 318 is pretty stout. The converter will certainly be a good addition there....even if not totally necessary. It will make for a fun ride.
