Am I an idiot for wanting to boost a high compression 318?

For that type of money you can get the BP crate with a warranty that has over 450HP at the crank with a roller cam. I’d boost a magnum block before I’d boost an LA block. Mag blocks are cheap and ya would not cry as much as ya would if ya window pained a LA block…

Oh I agree but then I have to pull an engine and I don't want to do that ha the parts I am dumping money into could (hopefully) be easily transferred to another engine. This 318 is definitely not a pristine block. Pretty sure it was 200K+ mile engine when I got it about 12 years ago. (my dad got it for me as engine to learn on when I was 13) After having the cylinders bored 60 over the number one piston still had a deep gash around the circumference of the cylinder about 0.5" from the deck. Because of this I don't really care about. Unless I should since its an LA?
