I've always loved the 318. It's basically a slightly smaller displacement 340 and any mods you can make to the former you can do to the latter. It's real rowdy with the right mods. Most importantly though, it can be stroked to 390 cubic inches! That's 72 extra cubes and totally worth the price it costs, even with no mods you'll get a bunch of extra torque and power. To put that in perspective, boring and stroking a 305 SBC will get you get a max of 334 cubes and boring and stroking a 302 Ford and you get a max of 347. The 318 wins any comparison every time.
@@bigboreracing356 the 273 is a surprisingly strong engine, same stroke as the 318,340, but small bore, the factory 4 barrel heads for the 273 are better for compression, but small valves with same heads, intake camshaft and carburetor, headers, the 318 will have more power simply because it is larger in cubic inches, other than the bore the blocks are identical, the 273 benefited from the solid lifter cam and closed chamber heads and Free flowing exhaust, the 318 was a smog engine to replace the 273 like the 400 replaced the 383 , and the same rules apply ,add exactly the same heads cam exhaust intake carburetor and the larger displacement produces more power
The stroker is way too expensive for the 318. The 408 stroker it for the 360 is over $1,000 less. Piston selection is rather sparse so using the open chamber J heads gives you very low compression. J heads are fine but they aren't world beaters. Honestly I don't see the appeal
I thought the original idea was to use optimized stock parts. The pistons seem like quite a deviation from that. If you can afford those there's little reason to run a 2bbl. Still a cool project, still following, just seems like this is basically what the Junkyard Jet guys got disowned for.
Really cool to hear ICON stepped up and over delivered. I only buy ICON pistons, good customer service, and it's feels good to see they do stuff like this. 👍
All I can suggest as a sheet metal worker David is, have you tried Rexcut angle grinder wheels? They are great as they remove material they also polish and don't take it off too quick, they are a staple in the sheetmetal industry 😅
Please can you do a video on the new things that you mention regarding balancing cranks and then apply that to the BMC A series mini and Sprite/Midget cranks things like drilling the journals for balance are not in your book.
What valve sizes are you using as the later cop car 318 heads used 1.88" intake valves and 1.60" exhaust valves. Is the a place to go that shows all your part numbers and casting numbers, specifications. I know and old school trick we used to was port match a iron 340 4bbl intake manifold to a 318 grant it you all are insisting on an iron 318 2bbl intake and highly modified Carter 2bbl and I understand the concept of the build. Keep at it I can't wait to see the dyno number!
I side grind with a large cartridge roll to keep the scratches parallel then out to mag, rough the big ends and rough bush, then polish then shotpeen (mill spec not wheelabrator) then finishbushings, hang and align and finish I like the SPS bolts from Direct Connection I went to KB and was in on designing the step dome pistons for the Mopars with then chief engineer John Erb. r and d from TMS Propane performance with dynowork at Speed-O-Motive These pistons or custom similar are a necessity for any open chamber MOPAR Today unless a matching number build resto I would not use these vintage iron heads
David, do you suppose that Charlie would use these heads to create porting templates, like Mopar Performance/Direct Connection used to sell, to give us amateurs an opportunity to port our own 318 heads? I'd certainly buy them!
Would be nice to know what made that port efficiency go so high. If you could duplicate that across the whole lift range would make for a killer set of heads! LOL
Hello Mr. Vizard! Is the coefficient of discharge at 14:30 staying on that level from .400 lift onwards, because the speed of discharge has reached the speed of sound from that point onwards? Maybe the supersonic nozzle effect could prevent the coefficient of discharge from climbing again? Best wishes and thank you for your detailed videos!
David, I have always heard engine builders decades back, (I am old) talk about the benefit of reciprocating mass helping torque, is there a trade off by lightening these components?
I'm not sure but if the crank is well balanced by itself & with the flywheel & front pulley plus all the reciprocating parts are in balance as well which is David's thing should be no problems at all!
I think it was re balanced after the excess material was removed which is what I meant to say before being rebalanced again with the flywheel & pulley in situ 👍
I'm wondering if it is worth it to do all this to a street driven engine in a 1970 Dodge W200. I can see matching the rod and piston balance and balancing the crank to that. Just not sure all that material removal is going to help in my situation. I am going to gently port the heads and use a TR5 Edelbrock tunnel ram with a pair of AVS2 carbs on top.
I think it would be counterproductive. A heavier rotating assembly, like a heavier flywheel, carries more stored energy, which may keep you from stalling the engine at low rpm with a heavy load.

Looks possible is right 400 hp plus has already been made time and time again using these stock parts in class cars where they run factory parts and that's with a two barrel carburetor, Joe Sherman showed this in his magazine back in the 70s so this is nothing new or hard to achieve with the right tricks we do this now with a 302 a 318 would be a breeze so it's very possible because it's already been done like I said

David i have a 72 360 i want to build. Do you think light 273 rods would live with the mods you have outlined? Heavilily ported/milled j heads 2.02 valve
Seeing you unboxing those pistons was fun. It also reminds me of how this project has evolved from what I think Tony had in mind. The beautiful part is this is more realistic to how a lot of projects go.
Hi David I'm wondering weather a valve seat job which hasn't been done yet may improve the intake figures ? And are you going to reverse the pistons like Uncle Tony does using Bill Jenkins technique ?
I would like to point out an issue with your software, you have the throat diameter as 1.55” and throat area as 1.89”. This is incorrect because you haven’t factored in the area taken up by the valve stem itself which is 0.11” so your usable throat area is actually 1.78” Just this simple mathematical error throws out every result.
Also this flow test was done on a 4.11” bore when it should of been done on a 3.96” bore. Because of this the flow numbers will be inflated because of less bore shrouding using a 4.11” bore adapter.
David, there is a Russian guy rebuilding engines who cuts oil grooves, even drills holes in piston skirts as well as rod, main bearings, camshafts, copper plates piston skirts, cylinders. It seems to me he prefers engines on the tight side, so keeping in mind this it would be interesting to hear your opinion if it's nonsense or not. His work can be seen here: www.youtube.com/@SmeshnoPoznovatelno/videos
If your going to drill holes in anything stressed they should be smoothed off with no sharp edges which would lead to cracking , if manufacturers of pistons spending millions of dollars on R&D thought this was a good idea it'd already be on the parts 🤔
It’s starting to become evident that at the time that the engine gets its check up on a Dyno, that the larger carburetor may need to be sitting aside already modified and ready to go.
It's over the entire project. It's a build series. Increasing efficiency and gaining 100hp. Freeing up HP. In the Rods, crank, port, polish, deck heads. All the time consuming tricks. Where as now I'd go buy CNC aluminum heads instead of porting cast iton. I thought it was to be all stock parts. However a piston company stepped up.
Ya sounds like piston flipping i don't know but if a factory left 100 hp on the tablet because they put the pistons in wrong you should probably avoid that manufacturer
Your videos are waaaaaaay too good to be so short. Us engine nerds like to geek out on your videos as long as we can! Keep em coming Mr. Visard
There's not enough time in this world sadly

So looking forward to seeing this engine on the dyno, hopefully all the hard work will surpass even David's expectations 👍

Guess you haven't been paying attention........In the first video of this series he says he will be using new pistons....keep up....
New, but stock was how Tony sounded. Optimized stock parts. That definitely applies to the rods.
Hypereutectic pistons ARE a pretty cost effective upgrade, just outside the original parameters.

I'm not sure but if the crank is well balanced by itself & with the flywheel & front pulley plus all the reciprocating parts are in balance as well which is David's thing should be no problems at all!
One of his vids shows that he is taking a lot of weight off the crank then having it rebalanced.
When you grind off weight by hand, there is no way that it would just "be balanced".
I think it was re balanced after the excess material was removed which is what I meant to say before being rebalanced again with the flywheel & pulley in situ 👍
