Back in the day, when parts were available in the yards. I took a 69 318 block with the factoy fly cuts in the top of the pistons and bolted on 273 closed chamber heads, thermoquad intake and an 850? thermoquad (this was after I smoked the 340 in my 70 Challenger conv), automatic and 323 posi. What a Chivvy smoker! After many races I would pop the hood and show the looser what they just got smoked by. Prior to my showing I was accused of sporting a BB. They would say "d**n, that carb's bigger than the engine" and I would just laugh and say " It's just a stock 318!

I have heard that the 273 heads where a cool trick for 318's.

The large TQ is no surprise they are excellent carbs if properly built and tuned. Since they are so reliant on vacum signal you can really get away with using a large carb on such a small motor.

Add a cam out of a HD 318, or a 360, and they really will fly!
LOL
318's are the mightiest small motors built, I think.
