1970 Dodge Dart 318 upgrades

Hey guys. In response to 318 hop ups. I can only speak from one I have drag racing. It's a 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury. I pulled the old 318 that had a rod knocking. Had a 1970 318 block that had been rebuilt a few years ago. Stock piston size (3.91). They were 8.8-1 compression pistons. Put a 474 lift Mopar Performance Cam with cleaned up 74 360 heads. .027 thickness head gaskets. Compression now at about 9.0-1. Nothing special to the heads. Plaining them and chambers cleaned and all the ports cleaned out. Air Gap intake, 650 double pump holley, Headers, 3 inch exhaust, MP Chrome box, MP distributer, Champion plugs. It has a 904 auto with 4500 stall. Running 4.56 gears with full spool. In the 1/8 mile she has a 1.88 sixty foot times and runs 8.76 in the 1/8 mile. Not too shabby for 1 3500 lb. car. Oh, it also has it's full interior as well. Bench front seat and all. I had accumulated these parts over the years and really only had to buy the cam, converter and gears and spool along with distributor, chrome box and plugs. I don't count plugs as you need 'em for everything anyway. Even the 8 3/4 rear I had came out of a B-body years ago. Thing is if new people to our hobby can make contacts they can get some really good stuff if they look hard enough. This engine runs with 5.0 Mustangs easy. People are surprised it's a 318.
