It'll have to be the 318 2bbl as chev already got their gift.

86 350 4bbl at 165hp (been refactored to 189)
302 1.78/1.46 valves and single spring and 2bbl was at 162hp at the time.
350 1.94/1.50 valves and spring with damper and 4bbl is 165 and didn't start the threads the 302 did.

I certainly wouldn't complain if the 318 2bbl did get a reduction, but there are plenty of mopars out there now. Maybe it would spur even more to get out there, who knows?
Rather see 220hp or so for a 440 in an imperial only? LOL! BARGES UNITE! lol!

It's -32 with the windchill here...not even going to the garage today....
