Hey folks,
So I'm still looking into some heads for my 318.
- I found a guy with a nice set of #308 heads - but I understand these are not as good as the #302 heads and will not raise compression?
- I have a set of factory heads from a 71 318 - Would taking them into the machine shop and having 1.88/1.60 valves in help with HP and maintain compression?
- I also found these on ebay, they guy is willing to work out a deal on. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mopar-Cylind.../251944538007?
The engine is bored .030 over.
high compression pistons - not sure what brand
I just ordered comp cams xe268h cam for it.
3.23:1 gear ratio
Edelbrock performer / 600 CFM edelbrock carb
- The previous owner had the factory heads rebuilt to factory specs. Even with the bottom end being somewhat built this car is so much slower my old 318 that my dad and I built. I would just like to get a few more ponies out of the motor. It runs strong so I would hate to swap it out for a 360. But I'm craving horse power. I bought my last set of heads from arrowhead racing, the heads worked great on my old 318, but their customer service was pretty crappy, I almost hate to buy from them on principle.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm not looking to break the bank, I'd like to be as conservative as I can. The car is a driver, I don't anticipate running it down the drag strip any, I just want a fun runner.
