I hate giving ppl the red x and out of respect to you im not going to but j disagree with you. The whole bigger is better thing is gone the replacement for displacement is airflow!! Look at all these 5.3 ls engines making 1400 hp with turbos and stock bottom ends! The 5.3 is only 9 CI bigger than a 318 and they are making crazy numbers with them simply with boost! The same can be done with 318s! Granted you can do the same to the bigger ci engines and get similar results but my point is the small engines can get there too. Its more about tuning and efficiency than the biggest engines you can stuff in your car. @318willrun has taught us all that.

The 5.3 GM engine (& other modern engines) of today have one super solid thing over yesteryears engines. Awesome head flow as delivered from the factory without being ported. Come as close as you can, meet or exceed head flow for your engine and it will perform very seriously like today’s engines. But everybody bitches about spending that coin to port a set of heads…. Never mind supercharging or turbo charging.

Again, it's not that someone is say'n a 318 is better than a 360 or 408 or 440. I think it's simply if someone wants to do a little something to their 318, what's wrong with it?? It could be not everyone is hoping to run a 11.32 with their daily driver. Maybe a nice running 318 that cruises on the highway and will run a 14 second 1/4 mile is all they want... especially if they are on a fixed 500 dollar budget.

FABO - If you say 318, they say 360. If you say 360, they say 408. You say 408, they say 440. You say 440, they say over 500 cubic stroker. No matter what you do in life, somebody ALWAYS knows how to enhance your life and spend your money and your a complete IDIOT for not building THEIR dreams LOL

Ditto ditto ditto and ditto!!!!
