I've seen A LOT of posts about making HP with a 318-So why is it so ???

... I believe it is because nobody REALLY invests in a 'teener (stock stroke that is) . Why the HECK would they? When I say invest I mean --proper compression/pistons/porting etc...

What is the bare minimum that everyone wants to see?
What is the maximum everyone wants to see (machining/parts etc..)?

What say you FABO? J.Rob

Bingo! You should be able to make 320hp minimum. You know the drill. head flow (360?), compression, intake, carb, cam, ring seal, hp ignition, headers. Never understood the cheap angle. Bore and hone with torque plates. Equalize decks. True TDC and centerline the cam.
