Hypothetical 318 Builds

I like your idea and build. Mine would be a little different since it would be for a Dakota that would be used as a truck occasionally. Would start with a zero deck build either with stock pistons or kb167 iirc. Since I have them I would use a set of NZ eqs with good valve job and Hughes springs. Spitballing it would wind up at about 10 to 1 compression or so. Probably would use one of the two smallest Hughes 5.9 cams or Oregon regrind 210 or so duration. Stock rockers are fine.. Have a set of Mopar performance mid length headers for it so I would use them. Probably would keep the OBD 1 injection and ignition along with the kegger. Maybe 275 hp and 50ft lbs or so over stock Not a rocket but lots of fun still in the dak and decent mileage to boot. Might even commit sacrilege and use a 4.10 8.8 rear since the dak has a 518.
