Big horsepower 318 builds

The article on the 477hp 318 states the heads were ex-SS heads.

If they were competitive SS heads, I could build a whole 500hp 408 for what those heads would cost.

You take the top end and cam off a 500hp 408, and put them on a 318 of the same CR....... you’re not going to end up with 500hp.


Article also states if someone wanted to build similar he’d use ported EQs and it’s 13 years old probably now they would say trick flow.

Funny how 340/360/408 500 hp no problem but go 318 and all a sudden it’s super hard, there’s a builder on here that built a 450 hp 273 with ported EQs, I posted a video of 500 + hp 302 Ford and Chevy peaking at 7000-7300 rpm.
