the car runs good.. nice and smooth... just a little lope to it. So in a 318 I could see it being a bit more lopey than mine, but not too bad.
It has a pretty decent mid range in my car. Unfortunately I haven't had a time or place to really hammer it down. But so far so good.

sounds good! i will be running 9.3 to 1 and ported 2.02 1.60 j heads... i might just run that cam...

you'll be fine... it's a 112 centerline so it's pretty smooth. with the right carb it's pretty snappy off idle.

ok cool. i was looking for something with some sound... im not looking to go fast in this car. just a nice cruiser that sounds and looks good. how much stall do you have?

 

[Toluene56]

3200 stall with a HORRIBLE rear end.. which is getting swapped when I rewire the car and finish body work. I think you would be fine with a 2500 or so.
