trying to pull ponnies with little cash

A guy local has a lowly 318 in his a body cuda(I believe) which only turns out over 700hp so it all depends on how much you want to spend.FYI the reason there are so many 360 engines around now is partially due to the fact that back in the 70-80's no body wanted them they were gas hogs with little power over the headered 318 stock forms.The 318 will turn more rpms with out breaking something due to the lighter parts.This is all from the old days with the old parts now the 360 has alot of bolt ons to make them run strong as do all the small blocks so its really either and if you have a 318 and have to buy a 360 your wasteing money for a cheap build.even $200 on a 360 can be put into the motor for an intake.I was all ready to stroke my 318 for my dart when I ran across a 340 with x heads pretty cheap so I bought them and money i spent was taken away from the build so for now I'm just putting flat top pistons in the 340 and looking to stroke it later.
