Has anyone tried using 273 hip recipe on a 318? closed chamber heads the 273 type piston etc? I think Uncle Tonys 318 had the closed chamber head the one in the 72 Coronet. Knowing him though he probaly had flipped down in the hole 318 pistons need to get the pistons up and cut valve releifs etc.
318 can be fun when trying to figure this out always seems to be a hurdle though with the LA 318
1. The block cant be bored to 4 inch
2. the down in the hole pistons with pressed wrist pins and somewhat limited selection of pistons
3. the heads
4. the compression ratio in general
5. the low rpm powerband
now looking at this why not try and eliminate some or all of it by using a different engine?
seems like common sense no? i think a 273 commando eliminates 3 off that list
1. the down in the hole pistons
2. compression ratio
3. the rpm/power band
340 we just wont go there no need to i think(hope) someone will get it.
