Moparaddict,

I am in the process of building what you are wanting to do. Use the search button up top and type in Gary Pavlovich. Once you find one of his posts, send him a personal message. He is a Poly guru and probably (geographically) the closest to you that you may find. He is more than willing to provide details to various build options. He worked with me (clear across the country) even talking with my machinist over the phone to ensure we were 'all on the same page'. He told me right up front he would help me regardless where I got my parts from. I ended up buying most of my parts through him as he was comparitavely priced. Good luck and keep us posted.

Poly 318 buildup

Moparaddict,

Good to hear you are building a Poly - good choice. I can help you with all your build options including HP&Torque estimates with various cam and induction modifications. I am about an hour and a half from you in Santee; we are close and the best shop is GRC Performance & Machine in Lakeside, CA. They have an onsite engine dyno and full machine shop which is where I have built all my Poly engines.

I have a list of all the High Performance Poly engine parts and other good shops across the country to help all our mail list members with their engine building needs; part of the benefits of being on the best Mopar Mail Lists on the net as we all help one another where we can.

No problem finding all one needs to build a 318 or Stroker Poly engine; HP Poly Camshafts, stainless steel oversize valves, stock and forged pistons, single four/dual quad/three deuce manifolds...

Let me know your goals and I can design a build to meet your needs and show you where to find the parts...
