I agree with the more cubes moving the truck at 3700 lbs. It also seems to me that 48 more cubic inches but the same intake, heads and cam has a factor advantage since there is only 18 hp difference. I didn't know that about the 318. Is one head number better than the other? I have seen some flow figures on the internet, but only for the 466 head. What works for a fuel management system on these?
