This thread reminded me of the local guy with a Scamp racecar that was really fast. I was told that he was running a 318. Unfortunately, I don't have any info on the car. Not even sure the guy is still around, pretty sure the car got sold 20+ years ago.
I've always like the idea of doing more with less. And I like a high revving motor. Because of that, the idea of a fast 318 has always intrigued me. But I don't have the funds/time/space to do much more than daydream and read what other's do.
Trick for me is that I don't have a lot of use for a race only motor, so it would have to be workable on the street. Which (to me) means deep gears and lot's of splits in the trans to boost low end torque and yet keep RPM's down on the highway. Seems like the perfect place to finally see an 8HP70 behind an LA.
Sorry I can't add to the recipes or post something constructive.
