318 tear down... it’s about time.

im guessing it took a number 2 in cyl number 2 is why it was running so rough. my numbers matching motor looks like it was 6 inches deep in the dirt on an angle for 10 years so i am hoping that i can do what you are going to do to yours to mine.

I am copying a build a while back from hot rod magazine. Not going to reinvent the wheel here.
KB 167 pistons hypereutectic

Pre gapped Moly rings mogul’s

Magnum heads later models

MP single plane intake manifold

Comp cam 280H magnum camshaft

.480-inch lift

.040 bore oversize

1973 piston rods from 318 engines

273 crankshaft

Holley four barrel 750

TTI headers

Manual transmission

If you google “400hp 318 build”. You will find these exact same specs that I am using for my build.
