Probably will, just saying the 318 should able to make that power plus be streetable too.
I really don't care what people want build for their mopar as long it's mopar, do a turbo 2.2l in a A Body if that's your thing idc

I would argue that statement. That enginemasters 318 motor I ran in a 3400 pound duster I used to have( all steel, full bench seat interior, factory flat hood, etc….i ran detuned with a 231/237 solid cam.
It drove like a docile 6 cylinder minivan.
But ran almost 116 in the 1/4 shifting it at 6200. It barely had any lope, super smooth. On pump gas with the factory tank and 5/16 fuel line.
If you look at the range of street cams it's basically in the middle of say stock/mild to wild, 190 to 260 @ fifty.

260@50 isn’t wild…lol
My stroker is 260@50 and it’s quite a bit under cammed. It’s a compromise to being part streeter
I get ya
but you know what I mean it's not many that's gonna jab bigger than a 260 into their street ride, a lot of people would consider that a very large aka wild cam for a street car.
What rear axle ratio and convertor were you running.
Keep in mind I'm referring to a plain jane stock 440 magnum with 3.23's and factory convertor and possibly running AC.
My 451 isn't exactly tame with a 4800 stall and 4.10 gears, I sorta miss driving stock 440's.

I get your point…I get ya
Just bear in mind a 4 inch stroke deal really gobbles up duration.
When I had my W5 deal I ran a 273@50 roller in it. Truth be told, I drove that car more on the street( a lot more) than I do this Dart. It was much more sedate than you would think it would be. I drove it 70 miles round trip one day to race it at US131, made the bracket finals team with it that night, last night of the points season. Little crazy actually, doing that, in retrospect.

4.10’s and 4500 ish vert. Tight 8 inch, drove like a stocker.
You're just NOW figuring him out? lol
I didn't start this thread to have 318 debate especially since it not about any particular engine, people seem to want to take it there, After watching the original video I just figured the basic concept would help some of our members, there really shouldn't be any debates happening at all.
Nah I like @273 he's alright. He's open minded, wants to learn, and help others learn. He also likes stirring the pot but that's alright too.
I like him a lot too. He just likes to stir the pot. Probably why I like him. lol
I had an Omni GLH Turbo that was totally drivable and showed 350HP at the wheels... You just have to know how to drive itThe max streetable power is subjective. You can have a little 4 banger that makes 300 or so horsepower but runs like poop unless it's it's racing, cough! ricer guys, cough!. People are daily driving 500HP and up cars with just a tune and other upgrades, so it depends on the setup.(some of those four ringed VW's are stupid quick, but I'd still won't own them.) Some turbo charged engines can be pretty tame under light driving, but when you punch it and let the turbo spool up a massive increase of power can knock the tires off from a 35mph roll. So my answer is, reject everyone's logic and substitute my own
Good streetable power is a wide open thread title. Vixen is probably a tic over 200HP, but in a 2700 pound car. She can pull out and pass in the fast lane.
I know what should happen, banned from all Mopar activities.

Pissing off the purists sounds like fun, like that Mustang bodied swapped Honda on Youtube.

If it has tits, it's a liabilititty.
In regards to the 302, stock heads?
Thats why they jump out of the hole so hard... small ports. They only flow 160cfm iirr. So the 318 with stock heads, some work in them.. and really its right there imo. Small cams are not a bad thing at all.
In the 1st video was GT heads slightly better than normal stock 5.0l got 312 hp with xe274hr, 224 @ fifty cam but upgraded top end with rpm intake and think AFR heads and got 418 hp with same cam and short block. Side note got 375 hp with stock cam.

According to the net, the gt40 head is 145cc and flows about 190. Better than I remember. So if a 318 head is 124cc.. and flows 165-170 'in the sub .500 range' and porting to around the same 195 cfm ends up ime 195-205 cfm/mid 130's cc with stock 1.78...then bam.. same flow, more velocity.. small cam material with power throughout the entire rpm range of idle to 5500
