What would you do next to this 318

[Cranky]

A supercharger would be about 1/2 the cost of a 408 Blueprint stroker motor.
And you'd still have the old iron, rings, heads etc... sitting underneath.

If you keep the boost at a reasonable level, those parts will survive....and imo, it's better than taking a chance that nothing will ever go wrong using the laughing gas. I know you didn't suggest that but at least using a _______ (insert type of force air induction you would prefer), the power is always there under your right food and the engine is still nice and tame for in town driving and the fuel mileage is still good....until the boost is used.

Interesting twist.

On FABO, "I'd like a little more power" from a 318 threads usually devolve in to:

1- put in a .590 lift cam, 4.56 gears and a 4000 RPM stall converter otherwise it's not worth doing anything to.

or

2- "just" get a 360.

This is the first time I've seen "get fiberglass body panels".

FBBO for stupidity!

It is kinda odd LOL....but start up a thread there about hopping up a /6 and everyone is fine with that! Not me....rather hop up a teen vs a /6 any day!!
