Even a low compression 318 marine motor makes 225 hp with a small cam, 4 barrel intake, and carb. If you get the right combination, the 318 would be pretty sweet.
Nothing wrong with a LA 318, but if you have the option of a low 200 hp 318 or a 300-320 hp 5.2l/5.9l and you looking for cheap decent street friendly power , why pick the LA318?
