That orange engine actually looks fast with the headers and big 4bbl intake ...I'm not kidding!

Those early 318's lower ends are bullet proof so you can harvest lots of HP with the headers and 4bbl....

Unfortunatly the compression was down significantly by 1973 - but still - this should be a very good running, tire smoking engine for you! :2thumbs:

What do you guys think.....should I do the factory electronic ignition box black like it was or Hemi orange like the new ones are (picture with the exception of the blue piece being brassy gold on mine)? The engine compartment is dark blue so I'm wondering about contrast and etc.
