Cheap 318 performance mods.

At toolman - The rant is in fun… but honest

well, the original poster did mention getting 302 heads for it in the original post.
if he is thinking upgrading heads, the best bang for the buck will be a set of OEM magnums, because you also get the added bonus of 7% more lift on the same cam due to the different rocker ratio.

And what was my reply to that and the subsequent reply to when someone mentioned about the crack in the head?

So now we’re on Rinse & Repeat?

looks like he already bought the '77 318, so that is water under the bridge. personally I would have sought out an '85-up 318 or a magnum 318 as my base to build because of the OEM roller cam hardware, and in my experience, regrinding the factory roller to something a bit more aggressive was less expensive and more reliable than a flat tappet cam cam and lifter package.

I like that idea. I did the same-ish, when my daughter wrecked her ‘00 Durango. Nabbed that 5.9 right fast.
