415HP from 318ci IS POSSABLE!!

BJR...I am curious as to what engine you are running in that car that you have in your avatar...I am having doughts that it has a 318 cuz the front end is coming off the ground, unless of course you built a serious 318 that can kick some serious @$$...I also wanted to ask your opinion about building a streetable 318 that can have an honest 325-350HP at the rear wheels...in your opinion, will the 360 heads work or what heads do you recommend?...and to make it challenging, maybe keep the carb no bigger then 650cfm as I think it can be done...I want a honest daily driver, not one that will foul the plugs at lower rpm's and be a pest to keep tuned.

So I will offer some stipulations as to assist a decent build for around $2500 and the owner does his own porting and gasket matching...besides the pistons and cam choice and intake combo I believe a true 318 machine can be built to have torque and HP.

I would also like to hear your input about roller cams...stock VS aftermarket roller and need more info about this custom profile hydraulic tappet cam you mentioned earlier...your background and experience will be helpful to all 318 builders...and what cam would you recommend to get the required HP I'm looking for?...this thread seems to be popular at the moment, so you have a lot of others interested as well...thank you BJR:clock:
