stock 318 more torque?

Here's a decent little budget build: get some magnum heads, use whatever lifters and pushrods the guy who did it on the cheap (I forget, but I think he used AMC lifters and Mustang Cobra oil-thru pushrods), put a decent little cam in there, double roller chain, a set of headers and a good single plane. Some Mopar rag did it a while back, seems like the cheap easy way to go.

Gears help big time!
