Hey All:
I've got a lot of parts laying around for a 360 swap, but for some reason I keep thinking of using the stock 318, just to see what it would do.
Here's the combo:
stock untouched 318 1971 shortblock with 33,000 miles
Edelbrock Magnum aluminum heads
(assuming pistons are .080 in the hole, Compression Ratio would be 9.14:1)
Voodoo 268 hydraulic camshaft

Edelbrock Magnum Air gap intake
TTI headers / exhaust
650 double pumper
Either a windage tray or a good oil pan
4.11 gear
Obviously, all this assumes that the engine will pass a leakdown and compression test. Runs pretty good though.
Anyone think this might run decent, or would it probably just come flying apart?
Any guesses on horsepower?
Any thoughts appreciated!
Steve
