Now theres a thought turbo charged 318. Turbo from a 5.9 cummins would work. Do you know you can change the cam and put wedge heads, W2, cast no. 302 swirlport, etc. on a "poly" block. Now too your intake selection just opened way up. The biggest gains you get with any engine is zero deck and a closed chamber head., unfortunatly most chysler heads arent. The 302 head on a 318 with zero deck is a great combination. That is a big advantage of ed heads etc. You can get a lot from stock parts with the right combo and machine work. My 10 to 1 steel head 318 ran great on 87 and got 21 in a ramchrger.
