Why the 318 is a phenomenal engine...

I'll do a favor for both of ya, the 318 comes out this summer in favor or the aforementioned 360. When that happens I will take pictures of everything before I tear it completely down and I'll come back to this thread and we can talk. I did however think of one thing that would help support both of our stances. The kid a few years younger than me that I bought it from (absolute idiot when it came to doing anything properly so everything had to be fixed for him) had to have the headgasket repaired for him on the 318 because it chuffed like a blue smoke chimney the first time I ever saw it. There could be a possibility of a cam swap that I was never told about? Just a thought I came up with while thinking about how you both are in doubt of the 6,500 rpm. It was 6,500 I know that for certain, but I will try to do a proper debate/discussion about it when the 318 comes out
Are you sure the 4-6-8 cylinder switch on the tach selector switch wasnt on 6 cyl ? It happened to me, I had a 327/350 hp SBC that read 7500 and it was in the 6 cyl switch position. LOL
