We got this out the other day, pressure washed it, changed oil, took it for a ride. Now, we will pursue dropping the ET. I couldn't make up my mind if I was going to drop the 440 in as the next step and go from there or work a little more with the 200,000 mile 5.9. So, I let the viewers on...

Thinking on doing a 318 over the winter for the truck. Will be a LA roller block, and I don't care about WOT. I have not tested anything with the early year (like the '69) single plane vs the later year intake. Thinking best torque/power up to about 3000 rpms. At this point, I know pretty...

I've been thinking for quite a while now (long before all these 318 threads have popped up...lol) about doing a project I haven't seen yet. That would be assembling a LA 318 with all LA 318 parts, but any part from a LA 318 from '67-91. NO PARTS CAN BE MODIFIED for performance gain. If it...

Well, somebody had to do it. It's late in the day so I figured ........ .... .. Happy 318 Day ~!! March 18th should be a national holiday - for the engine that commuted America !!

Here is my list, in order, to the best performing factory small block heads as cast from the factory (273, 318, 340, 360). Magnum heads. Speaking strictly of how they perform from the factory, I think these are my #1. X head. Only put this ahead of the 308 because of the 2.02 308 head. Gives...

Couldn’t be happier as the low dollar 318 project of 2016 gave its finale. We were hoping for 8.9 in the 1/8, and were really hoping so bad for anything in the 13’s. Completely unprepped, we went on a whim and here are the results. 8.87 in the 1/8, 13.97 in the 1/4. And, we took home the...

Happy 318 day from 318willrun!!! 23 seconds of 318 FUN!!

Talking a while back to a "friend at the track" of mine. I bought some pieces from him, and yaddy yadda. Anyways, he runs a 2bbl BBD (from a 318) in place of his TQ on his stocker truck sometimes at the cabin fever race that sometimes happens at our strip. This is usually New Years Day. He...

These are the mods we made to the factory cast intake for the low dollar 318. I know those that know already know, but I have seen many here on FABO trying to mount a holley - or square bore carb to one of these. Hopefully this will help.

Will headers make a difference on a stock 318 2bbl in place of stock exhaust manifolds with dual exhaust??? I say in the video that I used 2 1/4" pipe, but it was 2.5". Here are real world results !!!

Anyone following this build? I am, should be fun! I like just about everything about this build..... the 4 door mid 80's getting some love, squad car (I've had a couple of these), 5.9 with a turbo....

I've often asked for this, and here it is.

NO Boost or Bottle ... ... any door cars going 10's on a 3.31 stroke 318 ?? .030 or .060 over fine, but the 318 block and 318 stroke I know we have 11 second street car 318's Asking because I am "pondering" IF you are in the 10's, care to share your combo ??

Because I'll post as we go, and it will be slow going, this thread will most likely be off the rails, but I'll try to update as we go so here it goes..... Not a specific budget but keeping it cost effective. Goal: Run 13.9's and get 20 mpg. No headers. 2.94 gears. stock torque...

Today my 318 heads were dropped off at the machine shop. Trying for more gas mileage and performance (even the smallest of gains). Basically, I just removed what I thought would cause turbulence, looking to keep velocity and flow around .200 lift. I told the shop what I was doing, my...

Has anyone opened up the plenum with a grinder on a 318 2bbl intake (mid 70's)? Or ground down the divider? If so, was the results positive ??

I guess I need to install a rev limiter. After some very mild changes over the winter, we went out for a stroll to see how it would respond. Well, from about a 20 mph roll I nailed it and the tires broke loose and it was on 7,000 RPM's before I could hit 2nd gear. NOT what I want to be...

36 years of owning many small block Mopars. Yes, 340's were among the many LA's that included 273-360's. My first hand experience of 340's vs 360 magnum is just this: 360 magnum hands down wins in the typical "add camkit and headers, " mild street build using the long block. This is NOT a...

Every time I've put 360 heads on a 318, I've gained performance. I usually cut them about .040. No, I haven't cut the intake side of the head and I've not had a leak to this point. So far, I've always run them on stock short blocks. I've usually home ported them. In the future I'll be...

I'm Mopar. But... Has anyone had a great running Ford 289 in a Fairlane ?? Oh boy, we (me, my Dad, and my brothers) have had them - '64-66's. Especially the 3 on the trees..... I have personally been a part of 3 races, 289 vs 318, both in 2bbl form. 289's are up 3-0. The 289's really...

I mean, nobody tries to go faster by shrinking bore size, right ??? To the tune of 45 cubic inches ????

I hear (and believe) the edelbrock offers better flow. Has anyone tested these either at a drag way or bench flow ?? Are the gains only noticable on bigger hp builds (400+) ??? Thanks 318WR

This may help someone, I see lots of questions about it.

As of today, this day! To a point, yes! I'm on record stating a 318 is faster than the 340 "dollar for dollar". Not better than the 340, not worth more than the 340, not faster equally built than a 340, but faster dollar for dollar. I looked TODAY, and I found this complete but...

318 with Trick Flow heads, single plane intake, solid cam goes low 7's in the 1/8. 11 seconds flat 1/4

Considering building a 318 that revs and likes to move it move it! I've got options for heads, roller block. Maybe a Victor 340 intake... I already have a built 904 ready to go with RMVB.

.... :D :D

Hmmmm....

What lifters are you using? Lunati's had their share of troubles with their lifters collapsing. Oh, I do have a new set comp cam lifters and the cam is the 703...…
