Your right, because it was a 318, is would always be slower than a 360! Just like my mild 440 will always be faster than wild and crazy's 408! And yeah, I had a lot in it, but your cubic inch logic is flawed.....
Well, no, I could really care less, and considering torque is what gets the ball rolling, it is a pretty safe bet that it will twist your 318 backwards... Just trying to make a comparison of torque........ From the line, I don't have enough traction to do nothing but spin. ergh, never mind.
And yes, the project car, will have a 390, big port heads, roller, it will be nice. But for now, I have lots of other things to do.
The only reason I even posted in this dick wagging thread was because I ACTUALLY HAVE A RUNNING 390 sitting right outside my door, that I can go start up and drive....no speculatio, no guessing, it's under the hood of my truck. Want a pic? Wanna hear it run?....... 390's are rare, I guess. Pickin it apart saying it isn't up to it's full power potentioal, ect, is completely ignorant. It is 100% perfect for doing what it was intended to do. To pull three of your VG chargers on a trailer up a hill.......
