Whoa ! I love the stock bore 318s, hate to see you throw that one out especially with just about zero ridge. We know how to tweek them up and get them to perform nicely with basic parts and some good port matching. My buddy Brian is getting at least 300 hp out of his 69 318 built engine. We want to get it on the Dyno this Summer the way it is performing right now I bet it is over 300. Kind of all about the flow and velocity going through those engines and bumping up the compression a tad. Pretty surprising what the 318s will do, tough engines too.
See you are in Manitoba Canada, anywhere near Winnipeg? I am just South of the Twin Cities in Minnesota.
