AJ's Opinion; what size SBM do I need

No one on here is arguing that a 318 is a superior stating point over a 340/360 Just if one of our members wants to do a 318 instead of a 340/360/408 and understands the short comings then people should help with that goal instead of the "go 360/408" cause of xyz routine.

I could go on the /6 section and go all day long and tell them they be better off with even a 273 over a /6 build but it's obvious thats not what they want. unless their going on about a super unrealistic goals like 500hp na destroked 170 daily driver :)

Plus people make it sound a lot harder and more expensive to make power out of 318 than it is, sure pistons are more but other than that everything else is the same. a 10.5:1 zero decked 323-328 with speedmaster, eddy, trickflow etc... and a 275-285 cam etc.. is gonna make power and needed a little more gear and stall over a similar 340, and most just want a 4bbl headers and RV cam on a stock longblock and turns into 50 pages how it can't be done cause of xyz, even though 318willrun has already built and video documented the results.
