I totally agree with this statement the only advantages were to a full race application where high compression pistons and maximum output was the theme. My reasoning for the forged 318 truck crank was 318 was the go to engine on every truck application available including military and government work and those trucks were asked to do tasks way beyond their rating or design tortured and punished rinse and repeat rinse is optional. and are legendary in their own rights. And to me there was the beauty of the legendary 318!
