Spare parts single 318 turbo build
Building a extreme budget turbo 318, almost all of the parts will be parts on hand from other builds with the exception of gaskets and consumables. This motor will be replacing my high revving 350ci 340 that is in my 66 b-body ( I know, but small block stuff isnt too hot on the b body forums). The 340 was amazing being a solid roller high compression engine backed by a 4 speed, but it was just not enjoyable on the street since the power didnt come on until 4500 and it would pull past 7500.
First up is the heads, one is a J head and the other is a X head. Both came from different engines, the J had 2.02 valves in it and the X had 1.88. I had a set of no name 2.02/1.60 stainless valves, so I used those. Also cleaned up the ports some with some mild blending/port work. Springs are from a set of aluminum heads, they are crane springs comparable to 340 springs. That motor got set up to be a hydraulic roller so it had beehives put in.
I haven't cc'ed the heads but i would think they are in the 70ish range after the small cut that was made. I'll update the thread as I progress. I found a forged crank in the corner of the shop that came out of an old 318 powered water pump. It looked rough but mic'ed out good, some minor rust on a few journals but will only be polishing the journals not cutting. remember.... cheap.
