Newbie 318 piston question

mygasser said

no all of a sudden at all. check out the bore sizes of gm ls motors. the 4.8,5.3 and 5.7 are all from a lot to a bit smaller than a 318. nobody says they can't perform with small bores do they? my point was the 318 isn't much smaller than the 4" bore everyone seems to think is the benchmark for performance :poke: :thumbsup:

318s are fun if you like being at around 200 Horsepower. 200 horse is fun but it isn't scary fun. Id like to see 300 horse 318 build and the receipts on how much it cost. You know people would buy a 340 car before the low compression engine came out and take it to a tuner and get 300-325 horse easily with a stock motor. Maybe they'd swap a cam in. it didnt take much, it takes alot with a 318. Im speaking of cost specifically.
