To me when giving advice to the OP threads you should think how would you do it if you were them. If your a turbo guy not everyone wants a turbo same /6, 440, 360/408, full drag car, pro tour etc.. guy. Not everyone has the same skill set abilities money time wants etc... Nothing wrong with point out a flaw in someone’s plan but we only need one you should build a 360 instead and if the OP wants a 318 still then you should think if I was this guy with his knowledge skill set equipment money time etc... how would I do a 318.

To me everyone looking to build power should start with a 440 or a stroker 400/440 but I don’t say that in every thread.

Yes, you'll notice when I give advice, I always err on the side of budget, because that's how I have to do it. That's why I don't recommend obscure high end parts like Jones cams and the like......and there's nothing wrong with that stuff, but when you can come close off the shelf (and you can) I see no point in it unless you're racing for points or money. I don't know anyone personally who goes into a project WANTING to spend every single penny they can on it.
