Hypothetical 318 Builds

Yeah and don't forget the 327 that also came in 340, 365 and 375HP versions.
Richard Holdener dyno the the top hp packages of chev's 302 327 and 350 and all made 350-355 hp in dyno trim. A little off from there ratings but shows 350 hp is a good amount power.
350+hp 318 is a fair easy goal, the 80/90's 5.0l mustang only dynos 265 hp you don't need much hp to have fun.
