318-2bbl
Is the 1970 era 318 engine capable of 300 hp to run in stock? 238 hp hits the index. Anyone run one now or in the past? Thanks

We have run it........Absolutely no success for us
at all. I doubt you will get 250+ HP (Sorry). The 318/340/360 Thermoquads are all potential Rocket ships! |
Re: 318-2bbl
Several have been run and they do well against the index. Check Nitro Joe's data for some information. If you are looking for a rocket ship like a 302 Ford, a 318 ain't it.

Bogner went over a second under in R. That's probably not a Dime Rocket but it shows the potential's there.

Re: 318-2bbl
Beginning to think not a good option. Guess I'll stick with the 340.

Re: 318-2bbl
It all depends on the price of poker. 318 will cost a bunch less than a 340 to do and with a 318 you won't have to worry about as many potential heads-up runs. D-E-F-G with a 340, you had better have a good one. P-Q-R with a 318, you can do a .5 under car and be fairly safe.

318 with a Thermoquad will also make a great L-M or N car, not too much chance for heads ups and can build one for not a ton of money like stated before. Stick one in a volare or Aspen

Re: 318-2bbl
Got me thinking again looking at the classification guide. A question, for the GT class engines (say a 1988 318-4) is that a S/S engine setup only?

'71 318 with Rochester 2g in an A body is a good combo , also '68 only in a Dart....
