Help with building a bit more power in to the 318

T67POWER said

As far as 400 horse out of a 318, it's a very good concept, but if you dont have the drive train combo to back it up, it will be a dog.
LIKE \NO GEAR\LOW STALL CONVERTOR=SLOW.
A 400 HORSE 318 WANTS GEAR AND A HIGH STALL CONVERTOR AND A LIGHT WEIGHT CAR.
good luck :tongue3::coffee2:

Yes. The oil/water mixing needs to stop first.

I agree with T67. A 400 HP 318 will be soft off the line without some cooperation from the rest of the drive line.

FWIW: The 302 heads have 1.78 intake and 1.50 exhaust valves like every other 318 except the late Cop Car 4 bbls.
