I have good news..... We're going to find out! Because before I pull the 318, we'll give it some gears.... My cam is an ancient Crane grind, slow ramps, I've killed my compression, stock converter = hating 2.76's... LOL

That old summit Crane cam is a good grind. apples to oranges to the OP's cam.
FWIW I have that summit grind in my 73 w200.
