Ooh Mamma! Lovin' that! 397 rwhp from a 318. Can't argue with that.

don't know if my old 318 would hold out mind you

Good stuff, would have been great seeing Kev doing something like that with his Taxi.

That is sensational!

That is the sort of inspiration I need to get the current projects sorted so I can restart my Mopar career with a clean sheet...love it.

318 is quite strong inside..just small on bore thats why people never do much with them. A proper prep..decent heads/cam and they'll make good hp N/A, as someone on here has done.....But this is a good idea with a Turbo.....still plenty of spare blocks everywhere I would imagine?....just the expense of the parts and efi etc...bit of a sleeper really with 318ci written on the car.

Seriously, you would just go SBC......

Wash your mouth out with soap and water!

Pah!

yeah don't they have an oiling design where if a lifter jams it cuts off oil to all the rest

thats no bloody good proper galley fed lifters in a chrylser block

There is a guy in the US who runs a turbo shop , he put twin turbos on a 318 and got 700 hp uses it in his chally it was in Mopar Muscle mag a while back

IF SETUP CORRECTLY TURBO MTRS ARE AWESOME, ITS JUST ALL THAT PLUMBING ON A FULL TILT SETUP

Still think an R5 block with P7 heads with a couple of turbo's, would make an awesome package, just waiting for someone with a bit of wedge to do it

I can't see the point in spending a lot money on a 318.
It doesn't have much going for it in the first place.

Jim in another thread I posted a link to one making 500 rear wheel HP. Replacement 318 blocks are as cheap as chips. Very strong engines. Loads of room around them in the engine bay for turbos or whatever and plenty of space for air circulation to get shot of the heat.

Agreed, might not be up to much in stock form, but with a turbo.........................
