when i joined here  about 4 years ago, my first 62-65 was a 1963
belvedere four door. It had a  freshly rebuilt 318 poly in it, with
all paper work, built by a local machine shop, and i would say they
did it   right. Every body remarked on how nice that motor sounded and
ran.  It had a factory four barrel on it.  I had resevations about the
318 poly as i had never seen one, and hadnt really even heard of them,
but i grew to love that engine.
  One  copless  sunday morning  at the bottom of a long , fairly steep
uphill grade( about3/4 mile long) I decided to see what she   had. I
got on it ,pedal only three-quarters  to the floor   and that big old
boat climbed and climbed, the needle nevr stopped, it  kept rising and
she crested the hill at about 110 mph and  i could tell she had much
more in her.  and that was all uphill. pretty impressive in my book.
  at that point the poly 318 earned my respect
