Mopar 318 'High Performance' vs Chevy 327/250 HP ~ 327/275 HP ~ 350/255 HP

Correcto El Mundo,

The only factory production 318 'High Performance' was the LM-318 Marine Engine.

A 4-Barrel rated at 240 Horsepower.

But for a while in late-1967. Mopar toyed with the idea of a 318 'Junior Performance' 240 Horsepower engine for the 1968 Model year.

As Chevrolet had the 327/250 HP
And Ford had the 302V/230 HP
And American Motors had the 290/225 HP

There was even a more potent 318 c.i. factory engine:

In Mexico they had in the Valiant Super Bees a 318 c.i. 4 bbl rated with 270 HP for some years.
