318 For Fun

If choking an engine creates torque, Thunderhead289 on youtube put a lawn mower carb on his 302 ford. Although it seems to run ok, he did NOT add torque and killed the HP. 318 magnums have a lot more HP and torque even with the magnum heads (same heads used on 360 magnums).

P.S. - This must be somewhere around your 6th thread on this 318 build that hasn't got off the ground yet ??? LOL :poke:

I'm sure it is, I don't want to spend money on cylinder heads that would serve my purpose. 318 magnums have good power and torque but at what rpm's? This is going to be semi daily driver and as it's intended goals it most likely will not see over 4,500 rpm's. I don't want to spend money on parts are intended for higher rpm
