New guy post

Welcome aboard! Just a heads up, 318s are a hot topic here lol. Some say don’t waste your time building one. Others say it’s cool having a stout 318. So imo decide if you plan to keep the 318 or not, and that will guide what/how to build the engine. Don’t be surprised if making the engine stout makes your transmission rebuild come sooner rather than later. Also the sites other guys mentioned for parts are good places to look.
Based on my research, it sounds like 318s are a hot topic everywhere haha. My hot take on the matter is that if you want a car you’re gonna take to the drag strip or something then no it’s not worth building. On the flip side though, for my purposes I think it’s worth it because I can get all the power I’m aiming for from it with a lot of the same upgrades I’d do to pretty much anything I stuck in there. Also thanks for the thought about the transmission upgrades coming quicker potentially, I hadn’t thought about that!
