Pieces of steel in cylinder??

Oh yeah, that's right.... I forgot the crap pounding on the heads! This thread has gone on and on.......

If 'twer me, I would look for some 302 heads. (There were some on RockAuto that were discussed in another thread. I can't speak to the quality or lack thereof for those heads however. There are a lot of questionable rebuilt heads out there.....like the ones that started all of this!) The point being to get the 62-64 cc chambers to help with the CR and the low end torque aspect of this grocery-getter application.

I agree... But he is also talking about just getting this one built, running it while he builds a 360, or 5.9, I can't remember. If he has the heads, run them... If not, should have just saved the money on the work on the 318 and put it towards the 360. Same has to be done to it, or if a 5.9 magnum, intake, oilpan, probably be back up and running... Jmo... Then pick up a second one to build. Machine work isn't cheap... Last I had it done.
