318 at the track...new parts.

[T67POWER]

I might put a .474 mopar cam in my 1967 318.
I have a 3 grand dynamic convertor and 3.91's and possibly thinking of porting the heads.
Anyone ever port a set of 920's.................
My buddy has a new home made flow bench all set to go.

I already own the cam and lifters and have a holley street dominator single plain intake to go with it.


Hers a video of the car running this last weekend.
It still has the edelbrock performer on it with the same .453 lift 225 @ 50 paw cam.
I have a photo at the start that i want to post also.
The cars front fender really comes up with the old worn out torsion bars.

I just ordered a ae2375 american eagle radiator (big block)22 inch.
I think it will work with my steel water pump small block and my big block in the future.
It's the new two row with 1 inch tubes.
I guess they are good for 600 horse.
Let me know if the video works good because my old *** computer plays it back sooooo.......... slow.

Yea I've made some 318's work pretty well on the track. As long as you get good compression in them and run a cam that hold that compression, they can run. We built a 318 for a buddy of mines 68 charger, yes 318 in a charger that ran 13.10's with 3.91's and 3,200 stall. About 12-1 and ported heads with fairly small cam. It's harder to run faster when you are already at a C.I disadvantage.

I'd keep the Performer. Don't do anything that sacrifices torque on a 318. Install that 474 cam 4 degrees advanced. Pop the heads off and blend the bowls, go over the short side, and have a good multi angle valve job done, along with back cutting the ski jump off the valves (usually 25* does the trick). Have the heads milled and/or run the thin head gaskets for more compression.

Looks good for your combo right now. I'm not a head porting expert, but if you blend the intake port for a lg. port manifold, clean up the bowls, and maybe kiss the valve guide bosses a little, there's definitely some horsepower to be gained. With the .474 and a single plane, it would add to the upper rpm power. Mph should go up for sure, But i'm not sure if the ET gain by those mods vs the work/cash involved is cost effective. From the sound of the video, it's a little soft in first as it sits, not out of the ordinary on a 318. What i'm trying to say is, torque is king with the teen. The more the better. I like your thoughts overall, but I would probably stick with a RPM or dual plane Weiand with what your trying to do.
