Hi Richard,
I built my poly last year and really hopped it up.  However my biggest
regret is that I did not go with the 4" stroker crank.  It cost the same
for pistons and to balance the engine as it would have for a stroker
engine.  The engine runs great, but I wish I would have gone for the
bigger cubes.  I should of....

Regards,
Ken

Subject: Decisions on 318 rebuild


My poly is out of the hot tank and I am deciding my direction. I did
find the phone number for Campbell Enterprises and talked with Marshall
at length. He gave me some good options and price packages that were
feasible. I believe I have decided to go with custom Ross pistons with
double spiral locks and floating pins, Eagle SIR6123CB rods with ARP
hardware, plasma moly rings, and Clevite bearing set. My crank can
remain standard and I will bore .040". It will  reduce my rods from
720gm, (we weighed them), to 605gm and increase their strength by 50%.
(According to literature.) I intend to maintain around 9-1 or slightly
better compression and the pistons will allow for up to .5" lift in case
I decide to upgrade my cam later too. 

It's getting a bit "hotter" every day and that's OK with me. Of course I
know the heads are gonna be the next thing to tweak.
