it's cool, we all make mistakes, i've forgotten lots of stuff too.
you can still get some pretty good power out of the 318, don't sell yourself
short...my uncle's got a pretty nice dodge dart swinger with a built 318. it
moves pretty good, but then he builds motors for a living...he could usually
pace me in my 91 GT from the stoplight...until i dropped in that 351....
anyway, i've heard pretty good results with the r/t heads, the m1 and a nice
cam in the daks...pick up a boneyard 318 for about $50-$100 and get it
magnafluxed and bored...build yourself a nice "street monster motor" for
your dak. the 5.0's won't know what hit them when you bust-ass one weekend
and drop in that bad boy!!!

(i've got a pretty sweet 360 taking shape on an engine stand in my garage
now for that very purpose........)
