Pull the 318 and install a 6.1, mostly a bolt-in affair.  That's what I did
on my 63 hardtop

Ive made alot of things go fast in my day, but looking back, I wasted alot
of $$$ doing it. Going fast isnt cheap no matter what you are building. You
really have to weigh out your options and decide what will cost you the
least in the long run and what will give you the best bang for your buck.
When it comes to the 318 poly, depending on what your budget is, it might be
better to pull it and let it sit, or sell it to start what will get you your
goal. Now if you just wanna be the guy who makes a 318 run its best...have
at it. I did it with a 409, and was the fist to put a 6-71 on an 09 with the
big port heads. I make the blower intake from scratch and welded it. It took
80-100 hours of testing the fit and flowing it on a bench to get it right.
Cost...Im not even going to say, but I could have made 400-500 more
horsepower for the same $$$ out of a big 540 or 600c.i. Merlin block. I
didnt want that.

Now if you just wanna run a certain time, scrap the 318 and get the 440 or
do the 500 incher using the 400 crank. A light port job and bowl work on a
set of 906's and a nice cam and you got 500 hp and tons of torque pretty
easy. Machine work and parts, your probably at 4500-5000, and thats a very
nice engine. If you can find some nice used parts and do some stuff
yourself, it'll be cheaper. Racing junk always has good deals as most of us
swap out parts all the time to step up to something bigger or better. I have
sold 3 turbos on there the last 3 years for 2/3 to half of what they run new
and each had less then 2000 miles on them.

Pick what you want to do and then set a plan. Each time I just started
without a plan, it just compounded and got out of hand. Doing this, lead to
having to do that and doing that lead to have to do something else, and the
ball just keeps rollin'. Next thing you know...your broke and only halfway
or half-assed to where you were trying to get.

Have fun doing it either way, that is what this is all about.
