318 Build on the cheap

66 Dartman said

I picked up a low mile 1970 318.727. 83/4 355 sure grip for the 66 Dart.
My plan is to do a low budget build, If the jugs measure out good i'll use the stock pistons, dingle ball the jugs and rering,I'll either use the 675's and do a port job like 1 wilds thread ( By the way great thread Justin, looking forward to more !!) or use a set of 302's, and a LD340 intake,
Now i'm trying to figure out a good cam choice Was thinking of the voodoo 268,Any thoughts or suggestions?? Oh i'll run a shif kit and a 3000 stall verter.
Thanks.:burnout:

Thank you.

btw all the 318 heads have the same ports.fwiw

so if you want the closed chamber, go with the '66-'67 273/318 heads or the '87-88 302 heads, if not ...when it comes to flow..either or will do, cause they all 'open or closed chamber' flow the same...
the voodoo 268* is a great cam for the 318 or really any sb mopar that want to make power to 6k and yet still keep it mild'ish 'non radical'

i think a 2800 stall and 3.73/3.91 would be perfect for that cam/cid

the 650 carb would fit well as would the rpm/ld 340 given the port windows are opend up to a 360 intake gasket.
