Things just must be different here.mt-engines wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 11:36 pm Considering they only made the 2bbl 318s for less than 20 years. I would think not many are left. Im sure the junkyards couldn't keep them on the shelves with all the big block to small block swaps guys do.
Around here the only thing people are upgrading to from the junkyards are LS motors.
And I agree stan.. most car guys would walk right past a spread port, tunnel rammed big block at a car show just to high five and grab ass the guy with a 318hp 2bbl v8.
No most go to car show look at spread port, tunnel rammed big block and like it, but go home and work on a car that cost about a 10th that amount amount.
Real motor heads hate the sound of a 8k plus rpm big inch v8.. nothing is more sickening.
I guess where you live there are not all of these high reving inline 4's running around
I'm far too young to remember guys swapping out their 440 6 pack and 426 hemis for 318 2bbls. Because I just don't recall hearing all the stories of people doing this.
No one is swapping out their 440 6 pack and 426 Hemi for 318 2bbls
But I am old enough to remember when you could walk in and buy a new 440 6 pack or 426 Hemi and there were not that many of they around.
What would anyone in today's car culture learn from this build? Maybe they should 318 2bbl swap their mustangs, camaros and hellcats.
