318 help..
Hi! Im new here and this is my first post.
Im from sweden so my english isnt the best.. But just bare with me 😛
I have recently bought a 1972 dodge dart and this is my first mopar, actually its my first V8 ever..
The engine thats already in the car is a 89 318 with 360 heads, edlebrook aluminium intake and a e 600 edlebrook carb. And basically its weak. It barely spin the tires when you step on it..
When I bought the car I got a spare engine.This one is a 318 from 69 and I would like to rebuild this engine so that I can switch them later. The end goal is to keep the one with the most hp.
The purpose of this project is to build a fun street car engine to drive around town with. Being able to step on it on the straight run would be a huge plus as well.
What I mean is, Im not really trying to build any Serious racing engine, I just want something fun to drive.
The 69 has a .030 overbore and looks okay. I want to get around 300hp at the tires, is this even possible?
I want to change the Pistons to highcomp. And I would like to change the cam..
But I dont know what I should get?
As you can see Im in need of some advice and I would really appreciate if someone could send me some links on stuff you recommend.
I was planning on reusing the aluminium intake and carb (from the old engine) but I have another one at home and I wonder if that one is better. The one Ive got is an old Holly 650 spredebore carb, What do you think? which one should I use?
