great looking car. Love those 10 spoke wheels. They look terrific on that car.My buddy built this one for his 64 Dodge Wagon.

I like poly engines. Compare a stock 318 poly to a LA 318 I’ll take the poly.
but looking at the numbers it just doesn’t add up.
4.2” stroke
12:1 compression
And it only has 551 horsepower and 563 torque
Look at all the custom machining and pieces in that engine.
you’re still better off with a big block.

Does the poly head flow any better than an LA/Mag head?
I've never seen flow comparisons, but just as a guess I'm sayin "yeah", simply because of valve placement. By canting the valves, the path for airflow is "straightened out" a lot more then if the valves are side by side, so the potential is certainly there.
Yes it was a nic-name.Also called a big block or wide block 318 though we know that that is false.Didn't they call this motor a semi-hemi?
