Looking for cam suggestions for my 318. It’s bored .030 with flat top pistons and I’m getting ready to put on speedmaster aluminum cylinder heads on with an air gap intake and a 600 Holley carb. 727 with 2000 stall. posted from mobile

This will probably open up a can of worms as this subject has been well covered but I am interested in some recommendations that folks have actually built and ran. Here are the particulars. Care is a 73 Dart swinger 3.23 geared 25" tires factory high stall converter in 904 with a TF-2 shift...

Having a hard time getting the answer I’m looking for, so I’m going to try this again. I’m building a LA 318 out of a 74 satellite with the most amount of stock parts and cheap mods as possible. I’m new to all this and I don’t have a lot of money to work with . I want to put a cam in this engine...

Hello, I was starting to replace a leaky timing cover gasket and realized that I'm half way to a cam swap. I was looking for cam suggestions, but haven't really found any good threads on my setup. if you could be so kind. I've got a 73 duster 1967 318 out of a charger, this means it came...

Just sitting here thinking about how many different things can be done to the 318 to improve it's performance. Now this is only something that I thought about while waiting for the wife to get her medicine. Edelbrock AVS2 500 cfm carburetor, performer intake, stock heads with a good 3 angle...

Hey, I have a 318 74 Gold Duster that I have a Holley 650 classic Edelbrock intake and then I have a set of hooker headers and a 2.5in exhaust. so next I'm looking for what is a good cam that I can easily street but has a good lope and a little more power. But one that does not have a high...

I wanted to put up a post for 318 newbe's to show what happens to low-rpm torque with various cam sizes and compression ratios, so that we all don't have to keep going over the same old questions. And since almost everybody has, or has had, a 318, usually an 8/1 variant, with a stock 240* cam...

Oh boy, here we go again. You may want to study up and then ask. THis is 17 pages and it's still not all the recommendations. Search results for query: 318 cam

Thank you! I’ll get to looking

I'll save some time for a few of the usual suspects- Choice A- stock 318 cam Choice B- .650 lift (mild) cam with 4000 stall converter and 5.13 gears (...and zero torque until 3000 RPM) That's it. Pick one.

You probably can get 400 hp out of a stock 273/318 head with enough cam and cr don't make it a good choice for that much horsepower.

2800 stall will be good for a street driver with that cam , my son has that cam in a 318 withh that stall , 904 trans . drives 60 miles to track runs 13.5 consistantly .

Thanks! However, we need solid cam for my SuperStock 318.

I wouldn’t worry about it, there’s nothing wrong what you said. Until now this thread to me seemed to be going fine.

After learning how to install cam bearings, buying the installation tool and doing it myself for the first time, the last thing I wanted to do was to do it all over again. Overkill? Perhaps. Did it work? PERFECTLY. Not one nick, mark or scratch on the fresh new cam bearings.

So I got a comp cam set 3103 . For my 318 la last year but sold the car . I have here a 94 318 mag . And this timing set says it works for la and mags . Is that true ? How can that be true ?

Partly because roller cam retrofit to a non roller cam block is more expensive. Solid roller will be most expensive. It all depends what you have planned for the car. If I was using a 318, I would use a hydraulic roller cam. If you use your 86 block, just buy a cam for that and stock replacement...

No. I’d recommend that cam with a minimum of a 2,500 stall converter, & a min of 3.55 gears with the typical 727/904 trans.

Sound like he was describing the comp xe268h cam wouldn't be a bad 318 cam with stall and gears.

*wearily* you... you missed the "best cam for a 318" discussions and if you can make horsepower with a 318 fear not, there will be another, likely by the end of the week. the battles continue as the war is not yet won...

Please help me car is gold don't know cam trans work and any thing else bought as 318 is worked over 360 or I have to take a part car has ss springs and race shifter or your thoughts

It's kind of considered middle ground for a street cam, above this level each step up you generally tend to start really trading bottom end power for top end power and gears stall starts to become more and more necessary. Obviously not set into stone.

off the cuff, something like a factory 340 converter would be fine so what 22~2500 (that would be for a low end converter). i mean considering a stock 318 converter is like, negative stall (i'm kidding it's probably 1800) i'd think anything 2+ would be an improvement. now if you're talking high...

How did you come up with a 75 HP loss?

318 Dyno Pull Here is a close to stock (sort of) 318 Magnum with a fresh top end and something like a 340 cam grind. .274 on 114 lobe centers. 253 Wheel Horse Power Add 75 HP for driveline loss. 253 + 75 = "328 HP" at crankshaft They are running 600 cfm Edelbrock. Pretty darn good...

How about searching out an '89 - '91 roller 318, or the earlier '86 - '88 roller 318? The generation of 318 Roller Cam engines all came with the flat top pistons .040 ths down in the hole at 9.2:1 c.r. stock without even having to touch them. With the factory 302 Closed Chamber heads with the...

Sir, I don't mean to sound disrespectful but read what I said and you'll see that I was asking if it's to much cam for the 318 that's being discussed that has a 9.2:1 CR. I didn't mean or say that it's too much cam.

Mopar engineers thought dual exhaust was good for 20 HP on a '73 2 barrel 318. How much on a 440 that also had a hotter cam, 4 barrel, and slightly less restrictive manifolds?

Keep in mind the factory 318 valve springs aren’t suitable for pretty much any aftermarket performance camshaft …….especially if they’re 50+ years old. Any cam swap should include a spring replacement.
