Kinda funny....i always bought and drove cars with modified v8s....340s 360s etc ...crate engines bla bla bla...but my big 68 fury as a 1971 318 from a scamp and i freakin love this thing , 727 and 2.76 suregrip rear end , runs a New china *Carter* 2bbl , New belts , not even a tune up was done after her first start in 22 years , this 318 purrred like like a kitten after New carb / oil change and a New fresh battery , ive eard since this last spring sooooo many urban legends and searching all kind of stuff on this "boat anchor" engine that seems to finally win the respect that it deserved , not a power house of course compared to my 400hp 360 crate engine...but i love the simplicity of it , cheap cheap carb , cheap parts , not hard on gas...rumors say that they live forever , of course it can be turned into a monster with a cam / 4bbl carb and intake/ kb pistons bla bla bla *** but its not what i want , but how good was the stock 2bbl 318 really , old timers , real life stories.... , lets read some stories !!!
