318 rebuild suggestions

if originality is important you might want to use the orig block.To minimize down time you might (if you used the other short block for piston/bore good fit) rering it with a file fit plasma moly ring set (rings/bearings/gaskets) and a good 3 way timing chain set. any dual plane intake you can find at a good price. an eddy 1406 (elec choke/600 cfm) with a strip kit for it. dial in the dist subsystems spot on in order. a pair of the big outlet magnum ex manifolds (2&5/16" outlets) which'll run you $100 likely. 2&1/2 ex pipes with mandrel bends. high comp 318 pistons ain't cheap. hog out the heads yourself. I know summer is almost over but too much down time is a common mistake & if you get up & running ASAP you can start thinking (& saving) for that 360 or 360 stroked! and be out cruisin! EDIT the piston/ring weight difference will determine if need to balance & I'd just get a cheap Summitt stock cam
