318 rebuild for d200

Just be careful not to kill low end torque means it's in a D200.

• As mentioned, consider the 5.9 magnum. Many good running ones can be bought for 150-350. Just add 4bbl intake/carb and headers. With no cam work or rebuild you'd be way under the 1500 budget and have a nice pickup in torque and horsepower.
• If you are going to do the 318 regardless, I would consider magnum heads/rockers. You'd need pushrods and lifters that oil through. All of this is relatively inexpensive and offers great gain over stock 318 heads.
