Hey everyone youngster here about to built a 1970 318 for a 1965 dodge dart gt 2 door. the dart will be a all steel car 4 speed with 4.10 or 4.88 gears 8 1/4 rear stock suspension other then front disks as for motor it will be built as the following

1970 318 stock bore

KB 10.5-1 pop up pistons

273 hipo rods or some form of a lighter rod

318-3 truck crank

0.27 head gaskets

1965 273 hipo 54cc closed chamber heads with
adjustable rockers Ported as far as I can with out thin walls both exhuast and intake 3 angle valve job with 1.88 360 valves

Solid mechanical camshaft good for 7500 and up rpms

273 4 barrel intake or a d4b intake if I can get one cheap enough

Holley 750cfm double pumper

Just would like to here yalls input from those who are wiser then me as I'm only in my early 30s and this is my first on my own build

D4b minimum, offy dual 4 or even a performer. Figure out sensibly how large you can get the port window on the 273 head and compare to and make sure you can get the intake to match. The stock 273 4brl doesnt flow much without monitoring the work 'flowbench'. Other way would be a set of magnum heads...or 360 la heads with 1.88 and a good vj some porting and gasket matching then just use a rpm dual plane intake. 750 will work, around town the 650 will feel better below 5000 rpm but where the peak tq falls of with the 650 'around 4800-5000rpm' the 750 will carry on another 1000 rpm or so.
