[spstacman]

i have the chance to buy a 318 cop car engine .. from a friend and he did think it had been messed with but when i looked at it i noticed it had x heads
did mopar ever put x heads on a 318ci

and would this even be a good combo ?

318s never came from the factory with X heads on them

X-heads only cam on a 340.


Normally x-heads on a 318 would give low compression, but the fact they are on a 318 rules out any guess on what has been done to the engine over the years.

Are you sure it's a 318.

not 100 %.. it came out of a diplomat

Look at the driver side of the block. It will have a big casting number on it with 318, 360, or 340 at the end.

I assume the heads have a big X next to the spark plug holes?

yes they do ....
