1987 Dodge D150 pickup 5.2l 318 cid
OK, OK, OK
Start with the basics:
You have a 1987 D150 with a 318 in it. It is a carbureted, manual fuel pump, 9.2:1 compression ratio, that came with flat top pistons and the closed chamber 302 heads, and roller lifter setup, all from the factory.
Simple first step is to put a camshaft of your choice (not too big), 4 bbl. intake manifold, and something like an Edelbrock 1406 4 bbl carb on it, it's jetted properly for your 318 right out of the box.

These roller 318 engines came factory with the 318 closed chambered heads pictured like these below:
Great setup using what you have.
Next step would be to start buying lots more parts, and spending lots more money.
Good luck on your project.
