Im sharing thoughts not really trying to sway folks just get them to think. i don know 318 willrun but you have to consider hes a Youtuber trying to build a channel on 318 of course he will beat that drum to get views and subs. Its ok the 318 has a fan base but lets not over hype what that LA 318 in particular really is I mean all you have with that is the same crank dimensions as a 340 thats where it ends. Watch where Mission impssible ends up and ask to see the dyno pulls and receipts. if you all arent into asking these facts you aren't really serious IMO. in the end 318s are too expensive to mod for the power gained from other easier choice engines. a 318 is a ok build for a low 200 HP range expectation I wouldnt consider it for anything else.
