Cylinder head decision for 318

Stock heads are what.....130ish cc?

Those are 179cc.

Stock 340/360 under 160cc.

I doubt that’s going to do much to enhance to low speed performance of a mild low cr 318.

But......I’ll tell you right up front.

I’ve never done it (because I don’t believe it’s the right way to go about it).
So...... if the OP goes for it...... maybe I’ll learn something from his taking that course of action.

The other thing is..... are those LAX heads available again?
Not that long ago, they weren’t.

Bet you over 90% of people with a hopped up 273/318/360/383/400/440 etc... is doing it with stock low cr bottom end.
A stock 318 is already a dog how can gaining 50-100 hp be worse. Is still gonna be a relatively low rpm engine.
