Steve Dulcich on building a budget 318

I don't like this strawman argument, Anti 318ers make it sound these people want to build a 450-650 hp 318.

It's like 90% of the 318 threads is adding cam and 4bbl maybe headers and some even want to do something about the heads, wanting something like 250-350 hp, that's like asking 300-400 hp out of a 360.

That's why I find this topic/discussion sickening. Isn't there a about a billion threads on re-camming a 318 or adding a 4bl intake and headers?

A. It's perpetually being brought up.
B. Any amount of money spent on a 318 in the name of power is a waste unless its going to be reused on the inevitable jump to the 360.
C. Leave the 318 that you have alone as long as it runs properly--and save your dollars for a running/non-running 360--whatever you prefer.

In my area a good running Magnum 318 will go for around $350.00-$450.00. Oddly enough a good running Magnum 360 will go for the exact same amount. What's the issue? J.Rob
