Re: 318 poly
Finding a cam for one would be a nightmare, but they are solids and adj rockers. Read of a builup on one of these engines, a little head work, cam and good intake, made over 500 hp. Briggs and Stratton valves in them.

Re: 318 poly
The 62 4 barrel would be great if it were rated around 220. Other than the lifter layout for the canted valves, the shortblock is no different than an LA 318 or 340, it uses the same AFB as the 361/305 with 1.84/1.56 valves and these engines can be had for free although the mani is usually few hundred. Find a clean 62 Dodge or Plymouth 2 or 4 dr and have fun.

Re: 318 poly
I was thinking of the 2 bbl combo in a A body. Well tuned that combo produces a strong torque curve. With a B&B motor and a stocker cam???? How easy to convince NHRA for a 318 LA rating?

Re: 318 poly
A bodies never got the 318 poly, just the B bodies and trucks.
As far as I know, Schneider Cams will grind you any spec. poly cam you want. They will regrind your cam and I think they still have cam blanks. The bottom end of the poly motor is the same as the LA motor. Crank, rods, etc. are all the same.
