Steve Dulcich on building a budget 318

Icetech said

My plan is to use my 318 to get the car sorted out then stroke to 390.. only thing i'm wasting is the cam which isn't a huge deal.. current heads/intake will go to the new motor.. nice to see some dyno numbers of a 390.. from what i'm told a 408 will do double the power though.. (a joke...)
