my Low dollar 318 hop-up project

Thanks for sharing this information. It really opened up my eyes. I apologize to everybody for me acting like a know it all, do I have lots to learn. Which year factory intake manifold and carburetor would be a good choice for a 318? Are there any good flowing exhaust manifolds that I could use. If I can't find a factory intake manifold, which aftermarket would be best to use? I think that I found a set of 360 heads, would they be a good choice for budget heads? I promise I won't come back as a know it all. I'm just wanting a fun car without spending a fortune, if I can run factory manifolds instead of headers and still get decent performance that would be great. What would be a cam similar to a 340? Again, sorry everyone that I was such a jerk.
It's all ok, Dan. Pretty much any factory small block 4bbl set up from '68 - 84 would work great on a 318. No set of exhaust manifolds will flow like headers, however, manifolds and good dual exhaust will certainly help any stock 318. I've done 360 heads on 318, and I've always gained performance but I cut them .040. Keep the cam small in a mild 318 build. 212 @ 050 and .440 lift is a nice improvement. I have a lot of "low dollar- back yard" builds on my youtube channel. You might find some of them interesting. my channel is - 318willrun :)
