I really like your willing to do it yourself and know your making improvements. Want to port a set of 318 and late 340 heads both !! Street and strip . Thank you Joe for sharing. Great work .
@@JustMoparJoe feel it’s important to say , after we 2.02 the 360 heads . the , happy-happy outcome , is the 1.88’s we’ve replaced are still within spec. for use in our build of the 318 heads . the combination of cutting a new seat while turning the 1.88 down to 1.86 , we can find ideal installed height .
@@blairlindsay5791 thanks Blair. I am working with Ed at Ed’s machine on valve sizing and throat diameter. I was not the most accurate at measuring and practice. He has a combination of valves commonly used in the bow tie applications that is a good alternative as well.
@JustMoparJoe I'd like to play with some 360 heads on my 318 but I really go after compressed so I'd need to mill them a bunch to upper 50s cc area, 57/58 since I'm running flat top pistons and stock stroke. But with a 4" crank.....hmmm
Thanks for sharing, Don. These went on the 360 that went into the 65 coronet 4 door. That car would roast both back tires and had excellent throttle response.
I really like that you work with 318 heads a lot . Most big horsepower guys and 340 guys think they are junk. I know they can be strong performance engines and are very similar to a 340 . But I do like the 302 casting heads n have watched you and one other U tuber port the 302 casting n what to and where to work them. I have heard guys say that the 67 to 72 318 head can make great street power . Thank you always for your sharing . Keep them vids coming. God Bless.
I appreciate that! These heads are perfect for the application. This engine is a 10/1 360 that’s going in a 65 coronet this year. Originally I had a larger cam more designed for top end. I’m switching it for a 340 Magnum style purple shaft. It will work really well with the compression and give that car more bottom end. Matching it with proper gears and converter, it should be a fun car!
You can remove it, but it’s not really as beneficial as you’d think. David Vizard always says the air goes where it wants, not where we want it to. I have some updated small block Mopar head porting videos with some more explanation.
weld the crossover ports shut.. grind the welds flush and flat doesnt need to be machined or perfect..just filled and flat..see this operation on Uncle Tonys Garage on youtube..
Heads are on my 360 that I did in the build series. It is going in my dart sport in the next month or two. I’ve got to paint that car. The engine has only ran on the run stand. Sounds good, but I don’t know what it’s done at the track. I’m calling the project reverse racecar. It will go in the car with a 904 and shift kit, and 3.73’s. I’m going to run the car with only bare essentials and one seat. Then put my interior in and see how much it slows down.
Thanks for the video, is there any water jackets in the head that you need to avoid or any other no-go zones that a guy doing his own porting should be worried about?
Thanks Teagan for the comment. You'll notice in my video that my heads have the freeze plugs out of them. That's how I got them. Anyway, that's a water passage that passes through the head, mostly above the exhaust ports, on what I called the roof. The place inside the exhaust ports where I cut down the humps, would be a thinner spot if it was ground too much. That's why mine have a small divet right at the ports exit. The no go zones that I read about was grinding excess out of the floor of the heads, and on the short side radius(spot immediately inside the valve, where it makes a quick curve). It read that if you don't have a flow bench, to leave the SSR alone, because you could cause some kind of turbulence inside the port. I only knocked the casting flash off of both. The last key detail was to not polish super smooth the intake ports, because it "could" affect fuel atomization.
I’d be interested in seeing the head you cut, I was thinking of doing that as well, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the video if you put one up on it, I’m curious to see what is inside

Thanks brother! I’ve learned way more since this video! I look forward to my next set.

Very cool
It's quite satisfying to modify the old stock stuff and see gains.
For sure! I have some 360 heads coming soon!

Looks like you will get flowing nicely!
Thanks Todd
Great video Joe!
Thanks Teddy!
I did the same with my heads on my 70 challenger. The change to 1.88s and 1.60s made a big inexpensive improvement.

Thank you for replying Joe and I will continue to watch n learn your porting techniques. I really want to do my own porting.
Looks great!
Thanks, Tom!
Learned a lot. Good video.
Thanks brother. Check out the forabodiesonly forum. Lots of good flow numbers there
sbm exhaust ports are almost a straight shot out. They are the reason sbm kicks ass.
Yes sir. One of many reasons!
I enjoy porting heads. Always start with research.
Absolutely! I’ve got an updated video of doing a couple other sets. The Indy x rhs heads on my 408 seemed to have performed the best.
Great job
Thank you! I enjoy porting heads. Last time I said I try to use each set as practice for the next one. Maybe I’ll be proficient someday.
Looks fine!
Thank you sir!
I SO want to do this to mine, but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough.
akdoc2003 if you take your time, it really is enjoyable. Even if you just knocked out the casting flash, there isn’t any danger.
Can you just remove the material between the center cylinders?
You can remove it, but it’s not really as beneficial as you’d think. David Vizard always says the air goes where it wants, not where we want it to. I have some updated small block Mopar head porting videos with some more explanation.

Mine is blocked in the intake. Most air gap styles block it for you.
Have you got these installed yet and how are they working

I want to try this with a mill, then polish it up to increase flow.
That’d be awesome!
👍
Thanks brother! I’ve got to do Hayden’s 318 heads this week.
On the roof of the exhaust I took a bit of that hump down, I don’t have any idea what it is, I didn’t dare take much from it
There’s definitely a threshold. I may cut a head in half one day to see how thick that is.
I’d be interested in seeing the head you cut, I was thinking of doing that as well, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the video if you put one up on it, I’m curious to see what is inside
@@mikehannahs Andy wood is going to get one on Vizard’s bench aimed as well. That’ll show some real measured results
