318 budget/low buck build.

The goal HP would be around 220-230rwhp. The low buck build in mopar muscle made 230rwhp. and they spent $1700. My total budget is around the $700 mark. (thats $700 of the pacific Pesos too) I'm hoping that the heads won't need more than a valve job, or else that'll be a costly exersize. (My old man just spent $600 having the "J" heads off his 340 rebult with new guides, and hardened seats)
I'm not sure what the weight of the vehicle is, but it would weigh less than your average late '60's Dart/Valiant.
After sleeping on it, I was perhaps leaning towards the LD4b, due to the good port matching to my 675 heads. (trying to chase that velocity)

I did have a quick browse through the for sale forum yesterday whilest waiting for my 1st post to be okay'd by a mod. I have to say stuff over there is eye wateringly cheap!
I have too many projects on the go atm as well. A '70 Aussie valiant regal, and a '73 Aussie valiant charger. (As well as a couple of early '70s datsuns)
