Cams for 318's

My dad's 86 can was same way. Block was capable of being a roller cam but was not.

I have done this, and along with a magnum head swap it made a HUGE improvement.
Yeah I know, magnum head conversion means 1.6 rockers vs 1.5s but I think I am about to try it on a 318 that's getting 302 heads, with stock 1.5s. if it makes 1/2 of the difference that I had in the one I did the magnum heads on I'll be happy.

Let us know how good that works. Magnum's flow a little better than the LA heads, bigger lift because of the rockers, and a efficient closed chamber. The 302's are close but with 1.5 shaft rockers. The early 273 heads are quite close sporting a closed chamber as well. With a little grinding, those early heads can be made to work quite well.
