Cams for 318's

This has kept me out of trouble most of my life with a small block mopar, street driven.
Pick a cam that you think is perfect for your application, then buy the next smaller one.

:lol: Here is a 318 Magnum motor I just finished putting together. It's in a 74 Duster with a stock build 727 ( 2500 rpm convertor ) and 3.23's out back. This car is a daily driver. 318 Motor from a 96 Dakota in real good used condition. Completely stock rotating assembly ( including pistons ). Stock heads got new seats, guides. Stock valves ( 1.92 and 1.60 ) were also in good condition. Had them refaced and back cut at 25*. 3 angle valve job got blended to the bowls with some miner bowl work. Roller cam was a Hughes SER0814ALN-10 grind. 110 LSA, installed straight up. .491" / .500" with stock 1.5 rockers. CR came out to 9.14 static with the head gaskets I chose. Intake = a 650 Edelbrock and Edelbrock air gap. Pretty free flowing cast iron exhaust manifolds in to a "Pypes" 2.5" "X" pipe exhaust with chambered mufflers. Plenty free flowing for a little motor. Great combination for my little Duster. Very driver friendly ( 2 grand Daughter chompin at the bit) and probably a low 15 second car near sea level.
