What's the quickest stock bottom ended 318 car that you guys are aware of? I mean stock block, stock deck height, stock bore, stock rods, and stock pistons.
I have not yet. I'm just finishing up the last details to get it back on the road. My goal is 10.80's out of a fair weather driver.Hey! Love the handy work. Have you had it to the track?
Hi, a racer friend I know runs a 1978 Volare, 318 h.p. in stock eliminator. That is, stock: block,heads, rods, iron intake, crank, valves, carb, etc., etc. Full interior except for no back seat, runs 12.040 seconds on 9' tires. Leave the line like a rocket. Then falls on it's face. It's a riot to watch and he wins with the combination.
I'm thinking it's probably some police car - and I am thinking later model

I do know of one that went about as 10 flat as you can go, but I believe it was .040 over and it also was sprayed with a small shot.
Tell me about it! There treated like they are a seed of the plague!That's pretty cool! And people say 318's can't perform.

Not sure I follow you...is there a late model Charger cop car running around with a stock bottom ended 318 in it?
That's the general rule of fast cars to a point. Even if you don't have any car knowledge, if you have enough money, you can pay somebody that DOES have the knowledge. That is why I pretty much let the world of $$$$$$ race right on by me..... while I play with a couple of hundred bucks.... and I think I'm having (and always had) the most fun!!!!!!!The 318 owner with the most money?

Exactly. You do not have to have lots of money to go fast, but you can go fast if you have lots of money.Well, I will have right around $5k tied up in the entire car. The car itself, motor, trans, converter, axles, disc brakes, turbo, fuel system...it doesn't necessarily take money to a fast, especially with a stock bottom end. I could probably throw some heads at it and make way more power, but good SBM heads are around budget killer. :/
Did you make a build thread? I am curious to see how the magnums fit when they are flipped. Do you have power steering? And I love the look of the build!
