Any 10 second "All Throttle" 318's in door cars ?
guess I don’t understand the “ 318 costs more money to build” stuff.
Why.
pistons and rods would be same price, as would carb, intake, heads, headers, etc.
at the end of the day the 318 will be down on power/ET at the track due to smaller bore and cubes.
the 340 is a better motor from the factory because it had better Parts and more compression. It isn’t rocket
science. Bigger cam, better flowing heads, bigger bore, it better run better by a bunch.
but you start running similar parts in both, the difference is going to begin getting smaller
In fact, it just occured to me I kinda tested a 318 vs 360 at the track myself
that enginemasters motor with heads flowing low 270’s at 600 with a 600 lift 230@ 50 solid. 950, airgap knockoff , small tube headers , correct 8 inch vert, 904, went 11.60’s at 115.50 retaining stock fan, waterpump,
and power steering at 3400 pounds.
360 motor was in 3350 pound car. 904, correct 8 inch vert, heads that went low 270’s at 550 lift. 260@50 solI’d cam that was 565 lift.
same 950 carb, airgap( not knockoff) same size headers) went 11.26 best at 118.40.
put a bigger cam in the 318 to more closely match the 318 cam, and remove power steering and go to electric fan and waterpump( which the 360 had) the difference becomes very little. Very little
