318 combo's

In 1995 we built a 1st yr apprentice cheap as chips 318 for my VH Hardtop with 904 2.92 open gears ran 14.8 @ 93 with 2.09 60 ft with standard '74 318 heads, std valve and springs with nothing more than k-liners and valve grind. The std bore 318 was decked .040 and refreshed with a Heatseeker 276 deg .420 lift cam. 600 vac on a Holley street dominator intake(a very good 318 manifold), genie extractors with twin 2" system. No big deal but very cheap. This little motor gave me years of fun breaking a rocker arm and cracking a flex plate while handing out beatings on Adelaide Chrysler cruises.
Since then its had 273 heads with 265 valves, LD340 intake with divider removed with 600 AFB, pacemakers with 2 1/2" system when in the CM SE 727 2.92 for a few years.
Now it's back in the Hardtop with Eddy heads, Holley strip dominator intake with 600 AFB with 1/2" fuel lines, big port HP (pacemakers). Accel billet dissy and coil with 3000 stall full manual 904 and 3.23 lsd. Recently fitted 1.6 stainless rollers. Hope to run this on the dyno or ?track? before it gets pulled out for a 'hot' 318 4000 stall and 4.11s

I love the 318 and do a lot research on them and talk to people who run high tens and elevens with them to understand them and I dont care for 4" cranks.
