318 For Fun

It doesn't make sense to me to buy a 360, what's wrong with using what someone already has. For what I'm wanting to do with it a 318 should be more than enough. Let's see what someone finds wrong with this combo, 600 carburetor, performer intake, headers, 2 1/4" mandrel bent exhaust system, 3.55 gears, 1,800-2 400 stall speed converter. Howard's 255 / 261 cam. Cylinder heads ?
I would say do it and post the results here for the next guy to know what to expect I already stated my experience with my 318, but I knew I wasn't keeping that engine I had a 340 on the stand so I didn't do much just the duals, cam, 600 Holley and 3.91s RPM wise I hit the ceiling pretty quick meaning I could tell when the engine stopped pulling. Looking back I wish I would have kept the stock 318 cam and ran that before throwing in the Summit piece just to see what the difference may be between the two. I can say the torque was there but not the top end so much I would admit the 3.91s may have been too low a gear.
