318 LA tear-down

I had a 69 Sport Satellite with factory 2bl 318. Great little engine. I believe they were rated 230 hp?? Not sure what your van 318 would be rated for. Pretty good factory hp. Yes the 360 has more, but what bs do you have to change? Timing cover? Rad possibly due to inlet differences?? Do the 318 and you can "add" as need be. The $$ you save can go towards torque converter and gears(if need be).
Good luck:thumbsup:
