Or just slam it all together, get a hi-stall and steep gears, and then yur good to go,
which is pretty much what every low-compression teen owner does, or has to do.
With a street 318;I'd take high cylinder pressure and small cam, over low pressure and big cam every single time.
But then, I just wouldn't start with a 318 in the first place,especially not with one as rough as this one.
But if I had no other choice than a low-compression318, I'd run a manual trans, and I would search the world over for more than 4 gears. Mine liked 7 speeds. and 4.30s.
