318s were definitely not hotrod motors from the factory but anyone who has ever owned one knows that they’re astoundingly good for their intended purpose: cheap to operate, friendly, long lasting, relatively fuel efficient, torque factories. They even sound good with the right exhaust. It’s one of the greatest V8s of all time.

I'm wondering about this Compression Ratio change. Doesn't increasing it cause more pressure / stress on the connecting rods and crankshaft since they were only supposed to operate at a lower one? So then.. you'd actually have to replace more components and maybe end up with the just the block itself as the original piece.
@morteparla6926

aj2674 The 318 was down on power because it had a few restrictive design components: bad head flow, remedied by porting & polishing. A tiny camshaft, remedied by a bigger cam. Tiny carburetors and intake manifold, remedied with bigger carburetor and freer flowing intake manifold. Bad exhaust flow due to restrictive exhaust manifold, remedied by headers. I know for a fact the mods I listed originally will net 320-340hp. I built and dynod my own 318 with the _same things that I listed._
@morteparla6926

vtr0104 Not with the mods I listed. Still using stock pistons, and not shaving the heads down or decking the block, so compression will remain virtually the same. That said, the stock 318's rods and crank can handle up to 10.2:1 compression ratio quite well.

the 318 was a wusser motor but it was the cheapest to add power to for any car I ever had. my 70 dart with a 318 2 barrel ran 16.9 at 78 mph. A few weeks later, used holley 4 barrel an headers and the car then ran a 15.1 at 89 mph. Still slow, but at the time the new mustangs 5.0s ran a little slower with my dads 85 vette with a chip ran 14.6 to 14.8 so for the time, it was an ok little engine for the used parts that it took to wake it up a bit. The 318s that he said were over rated did spec out at 320 ft lbs of torque which the numbers I got at the track appear to support.

Edelbrock Performer Package - heads, manifold, camshaft, carb. it will wake that puppy up and you'll think you have a HiPo 340. Make sure you have good compression and a steel timing chain. I did that to my 318 after a rebuild long before the heads and AirGap manifold came out. I could not believe the increase in power. I wouldn't be surprised if they overbored it close to a 340.

So if the 318 already has low compression, and you throw on 360 heads which lower it even more and up the flow potential, doesn’t that just make it an excellent low buck option for boost? And given its low rpm potential, I’m thinking a centrifugal supercharger would be the cats meow for making absurd power-per-dollar with this engine. Am I wrong?
@Impactjunky
@Impactjunky 7 жыл бұрын
@Justin DeHetre I've often thought the about the same thing but with a roots blower, the low compression and mild cam on most 2 barrel V8's (particularly from the smog era) should theoretically leave room for a lot of boost.
@rwaitt14153
@rwaitt14153 7 жыл бұрын
Centrifugal superchargers and forged pistons are expensive. Well, more expensive than cast flat-topped pistons anyways. It just depends on whether you want to spend $1200 for a 300-ish hp 318 or $2500 for 375-ish hp 318. There isn't a wrong answer. It's just a matter of how much money you want to throw at a 318. Most folks, I imagine, would just go with the low-buck option. Because it's a 318, who cares.
@jutde
@jutde 7 жыл бұрын
Randall, LA motors that came in trucks are abundant, and can be had with factory forged internals. And whether you're running the low buck 318 or a super hopped up 440, putting a blower on it is putting a blower on it. Either way, you'll have the cost of the blower. But if you can build a supercharged 318 for half the cost of an insanely powerful crate engine that makes comparable power, why wouldn't you? Especially if it keeps your car on the road while you save up for that boost ready crate engine that you just happen to already have a blower for.

Any decent cam in that 318 you have to upgrade the valve springs for the clearance too. My Edelbrock came with lifters and springs. So just gave the springs to the shop that did the heads. I had a low mileage 74 Satellite with a 318. My biggest cost is I went with a DUI ignition in case I decided to do a stroker kit in it and since they had a lifetime warranty and adjustments it was worth the price to plug in one wire and having it custom built for your application was easy timing. Everything else was Edelbrock to help with "matching" ( carb, intake, cam, etc) . I managed over 300hp out of it with nothing but a simple rebuild on the block and the simple upgrades. But I did not build it for off the line. That engine unless stroked was too meh for that huge car. I left the highway gears in it and not only was getting 18mpg, but had awesome acceleration above 40. In hindsight I probably should have forgone the hard core shift kit and stall since it's RPM band was moved so high up, because it hit HARD but you got little payoff on throttle.

@Brandon G Mike and Frigglebiscuit are both right. Start with a 4 barrel aluminum intake by Offenhauser and go with a bone stock Holley 600 CFM vacuum secondary carb. DO NOT go any bigger than 600 CFM and make ABSOLUTELY SURE it is a vacuum secondary because you can't run a 600CFM mechanical secondary carb on a stock engine that small. You may have to purchase a secondary spring tuning kit to get the throttle response just right. After you have blown all your hard earned cash on the insanely over priced Offenhauser intake and surprisingly affordable Holley carb start saving your money for a header, most people like to run the split header for a nice dual exhaust sound but they are expensive just like the intake. After the header you may want to find out what your rear gear is and swap it to a lower one, especially if it starts with the number 2. I'd recommend a 3.55 or 3.73 because a rear gear in the 4's is a bit too low for a 3 speed six cylinder. After you've done intake, exhaust and rear gear start looking in junkyards for a low mileage factory turbo vehicle with an engine that has the same or more displacement than your slant. You should be able to spin the turbo's hot side by adpating the turbos factory mounting hardware to your header collector and then look up and learn how to set your Holley 4 barrel up for a blow through forced induction setup. In fact I think Frieburger did a video on that.

@Kristopher Klassen I never told the guy not to port and mill the head so I have no idea why you would tell him not to listen to me. I was talking to him as if he was working on a budget like most other slant guys and can't afford head and bottom end work. I love Australia mate, big fan of your muscle cars but here in America nobody spends big time and money like that on a slant. The most expensive thing I suggested was an intake manifold. Like many other slant owners he might also be new to hot rodding and not ready to tackle more complicated things involved with head and rotating assembly upgrades like head gaskets, head bolt torque and valve train adjustment. And I don't know how long you've driven a single barrel slant six but I've had one for years and one of the best things I've ever done for it was put a bigger carb on it from a Chevy 292 straight six. The factory single barrel just flat out isn't enough for a stock 225 with a clutch and a 3.23 rear gear. A small 4 barrel vacuum secondary carb significantly improves the throttle response and acceleration over the stock single barrel although it doesn't add that much actual power. Plus that 4 barrel intake and carb are practically necessary for running a turbo, you can blow through stock carb after setting it up properly but its a bottleneck restriction compared to the 4 barrel carb and intake.

Fair enough, man. I get it, now. Dulcich is certainly the one to listen to on suggestions for the Mopars. We are currently building a '72 360 LA (5.9 L). Having only rebuilt Fords before, I'm having a blast with this platform. They are fun engines, imo.

stroker? lol hell no. when you stroke it, you will have to buy crank, rods, pistons, new cam, new bigger heads, bigger intake. if you want serious power, just turbo it. there is a guy with a turbo 200k mile 5.2 dakota on youtube that made 650 rwhp.

Really surprised displacement wasn't discussed. Bigger engine leads to more power with less work assuming it's engineered any one bit logical. My current 460 build should be one hell of a street monster with less than 3k in it, the blocks (even in 2 bold configuration) are known to be Stout and there are few cast cranks if any in the aftermarket as strong as the stock ones. Heads leave much to be desired but there is plenty of aftermarket support.

I had a 1973 Plymouth Scamp 318 and almost no money. I tried an Edelbrock Streetmaster intake with a Performer cam and it just plain sucked. The manifold had no plenum- it was really made to use the stock cam and allow a 4-barrel to mount. I threw a cast iron 360 intake on it- that had flow! With a set of headers it would just tear up to 5000. The 2.53 rear end and 904 transmissions just made life interesting.

The 318 has nothing wrong with it. It's problem was there was no high compression pistons available for it. Heads from a 360 can be used on it, and a 360 crankshaft can have the mains turned down to increase compression and cubic inches up to 349.5 CI. And of course a good cam is a must. If you change to custom pistons to bring up compression, it will rev like a 340 and possibly higher due to the rotating mass being lighter. Bored over the 318 will grow to 324 I or so. Add all the rest of the things you would put on a 340 or 360 and you'll have a decent performing engine. Magazines have shown builds from 375 to 400 hp without a lot of work. They'll make more with more money spent, like everything else. It's up to you to decide wher to draw the line and go fro more cubes. Another way to go big is to put the Mopar Performance 4.00" crank in it taking it up to 390 CI, but it won't rev as high, but it will provide more low end torque. Anyway, no American V8 is so bad that you can't get at least one horsepower per cubic inch. The 318 will make more than that. And the more attention to detail you take the higher the HP will go!

Sometimes, just focus on getting the shortblock right, slap on some heads, get the project on a roadtrip like this video series does...and keep an eye open for deals on a good intake, while saving up $$ for the aftermarket heads you need. Some people will spin the piston 180 degrees on its vertical axis, knurl the skirts, and put the piston back in, so that the newly offset wrist pin treats things like there's a longer connecting rod. If the cam seems to working fine, leave it alone and put in roller rockers of a higher ratio, to increase lift and duration. Certainly swapping to a good dual exhaust and tuning the carb can help the new cam timing breathe better, and its easier to install when the engine is out and going in, than plunking on an intake manifold. Swapping rear gears from economy to something numerically higher, putting a shift kit in the auto trans, can also help the "Feel" of the car

The port size on 360 heads is slightly larger than the 318. So they won't match up perfectly when put on a 318. Some say this causes turbulence and hurts performance. Other people say they work just fine. Never tried myself. But I am getting ready to either rebuild or replace a 318 2 barrel that is the original engine in my Chrysler 5th avenue. Car is my daily driver and the engine is getting tired. Weighing my options. Easiest is a long block crate motor. But I have a perfectly good 225 slant 6 I could also use. Only trouble is I would have to find a 904 transmission with bolt pattern for a slant. Last option in mind is I know of an old 3.9 V6 I could have for free. That would bolt up perfect. Because it is the same block as the 318. Only trouble with the 3.9 ( 239) is it only had a carburetor for 1 years only. 1987. It's first year. After that got TBI. So finding a carbureted intake for it will be tricky. I would love to make this car a sleeper. And put something fast in it. But for now I just need transportation. And a quick swap.
