Did he say that? I missed it.4.11's, and the 4 gear is the OD unit.

Was in his mouth when he was driving..lolFirst time I've seen him without a cigarette in his hand. LOL
He was too busy keeping the car straight.Was in his mouth when he was driving..lol
I got up at 4: 30 this morning and made coffee. When my wife finally got up at eight-thirty I told her she had to microwave coffee because the coffee maker turned off 2 hours ago.
You got to get up before 4: 30 to fool me...

but I'd use the shorter voodoo with stock compression, gears, converter
1.6 rockers with the b3 kit but stock would be fine
what did your compression turn out to be?
BTW I like AVS carbs or TQ
Is there much difference in the Whiplash and Voodoo cams with similar specs? I see the Whiplash cams are 108-109° where Voodoo's are 112° with similar lift and duration.back to post one

The only thing close to in common is the Installed LSA..Is there much difference in the Whiplash and Voodoo cams with similar specs? I see the Whiplash cams are 108-109° where Voodoo's are 112° with similar lift and duration.
course all that's been at the tip of my tongue as well but I'm pretty sure he started out the thread saying there's no way he's going to stroke it or get a big block or something like that?Agreed with the build being a very good combination. But the case being that your wanting to drop pretty serious dime for the Eddy heads, and it's propelling 2 tons of fun, I would be considering the 4 inch crank 390 option with more camshaft. May as well get some use out of that extra airflow.
Yep, sounds like the op is planning on a 440 in the future. The Teen would be fun but why build 2? Just drive the Teen while you build the 440.I think the general idea is have a little budget fun with what you have kind of deal..
BINGO! YATZEE! WE HAVE A WINNER!I think the general idea is have a little budget fun with what you have kind of deal..
I followed the build, that's why I know. 8.25 with welded spider gearsDid he say that? I missed it.
Cause it's so boring!..I had a 1000 dollar budget...spent it on stuff I could enjoy...and resell later onYep, sounds like the op is planning on a 440 in the future. The Teen would be fun but why build 2? Just drive the Teen while you build the 440.
That should be your motivation to get real horsepower in there and not just spending money chasing a pipe dream..Cause it's so boring!

There's nothing short of nitrous that's going to make that even seem like it has a bump in horsepower... With over 4000lbs...
the tears originate in the tune. Sure the Multi-strike can get rid of it but so can setting the carb up right. And a heckuva lot cheaper. As little as 3 minutes with an improperly set carb on a medium sized cam to at most, an hour with a 292/108/I just like the instant starting, slightly wider plug gap and no tears exhaust that comes with it.
Way to go Scott
Someone start a thread on Whiplash vs if they are interested
Hint It's ONE way to get a BIG intake lobe and still try and close the intake early
ONE tradeoff is lots of overlap, low vacuum- and all that
IMHO better off with a custom

I applaud your zeal to work the 318.
As for me I wouldn't waste a nickle on it in that car, unless I would supercharge it, and even then I'd be shaking my head.
That chassis needs TORQUE, not horsepower. Hp is easy to get just rev it up.
There are only two ways to add torque; more cubes, or more cylinder pressure.
Sticking with a 318 precludes more cubes; leaving pressure.
And NA pressure with a 318 doesn't lead to enough torque by itself, to be particularly satisfying.
That just leaves jamming more air into it with supercharging. And I'm no fan of those side-winders. Leaving turbo's.
With turbo's you can leave behind; the hi-stall, the race-gears, the need for overdrive,the race-cam,the big fancy hi-flow heads, the $600 headers, the expensive intake, all that stuff. Poof!
And the best part is there's gotta be thousands and thousands of smogger-teens sitting in the corners of America's garages just waiting for you to call. Wait I see about 6 of em every time I walk into my shed.
But you just know I also have several 360s....... so guess which one I'd choose for that 4000 pound tank..... or even my 3650# Barracuda; I ain't getting any lighter,yaknow,lol; and neither is the car.
Whatever you decide,
Happy Wrenching.
