Cams for 318's
Well, I'm late to this conversation, but have spent the last two days reading through all of it. My question is: what does everyone think of the stock 360 2bbl cam in a 318? I didn't see anyone mention it on here. It has a little more duration and lift than the stock 318 cam. The overlap is a little more too. Looks like the intake closes 6 degrees later than the 318 cam per my 1973 Plymouth and Chrysler service manual. It seems that if it worked that great then Chrysler would have put the same cam in both engines. I have a 1986 318 2bbl in a D150 that has a flat lobe on the cam. It has the 302 heads so it has a little more compression than the earlier models. If I can get a little more performance from that 360 cam I would buy it vs. buying a stock 318 cam. I like the spec's on the Lunati 10200700 and Howards CL711381-10 cams though replacing the valve springs is out of my budget. I'm hoping that someone here has already done this and can tell me if they like it or not.
