Are the 318's the old "Big Blocks"? if so, they are vertually the
same blocks as the the 383's, 413,s qand 440's, which would be easier
to overhaul and get the horsepower/torque you're looking for.


The MoPar 318 came in a big block version?

Never knew that.


As far as I know the 318 and 360 were always small block MOPAR
engines. The 318 could produce up to 350 hp and the 360 could produce
up to 450.

As I understood it, the base big block was the 383 which could produce
525 horsepower with the 400 and 440 built off the 383 block.

Howver, as always, I am probably wrong.


You're corrent.
