That's the first time I've heard them called that 

[Drache]

A night of drinking led to a bunch of guys talking about the 318 being like a cute little lion cub compared to the full grown lion of a 440 

[mikesbbody]

True  how about Little "Work horse's" "Roomy to work on" and "economical" 

[Drache]

How about fits nicely under the hood of a dart?

'67 Dart GT

Here's the car a friend is going down to retrieve... lucky bugger, although by saying he overpaid for the car ($8000 CDN) and that the engine under the hood is "cute" Im feeling a little better 

[440]

Not to take anything away from Mopars or anyone who thinks the 318 is cute, but have a look at the Ford Capri 3000GT V6... Now thats "cute"

 ya mean like this?..      

[Brock Samson]

[Drache]

Nice Brock 

Is it wrong after seeing that dart that I now want a nice small dart and build up a small block for it? 

[Brock Samson]

 nope it isn't wrong,.. (insert joke by Bob here) is wrong...  

That is a good lookin' a-bod.      

[Drache]

That is a good lookin' a-bod.      

But was it worth the $8000 he spent on it though?

What's done to that 318 if you dont mind my asking? Thats a sweet looking small block!

$8K for that Dart is nothing..He got a deal, Provided the bodywork isn't full of Bondo...What's up with the 4-speed pedals? Dude needs to dump a 4 gear in it and THEN he won't feel like he overpaid....That is one nice car for that money..Anything that looks great and RUNS, and you can drive away is high these days..Just because the economy is in the toilet, doesn't mean folks are just gonna give their sh*t away....

My first 340 Small block engine had M/T Valve covers on it..

The owner was going to switch it over from automatic to 4 speed at one point.

It's mostly original. New Cloyes double roller timing chain and gears, Edelbrock Performer intake, Holley 570cfm 4bbl, Hooker Competition headers....otherwise not much. We basically pulled the motor, went over everything to make sure it was in good shape, cleaned out all the water jackets, put new frost plugs in...etc

Really not sure. It was 210hp stock appearentley. My guess now would be 300?

[chargd72]

4bbl Eddy carb, 1 inch HVH spacer, Air Gap Manifold, Cast 302 closed chamber heads with 1.88/1.60 valves, port matched intake runners polished exhuast runners, 340 repro Cam w/ matching springs, hedmean headers, h-pipe with flowmaster exhaust...

Cute?  That's fine.  Nice small block to take care of the 350 camaros and 302 mustangs? 

And I think it looks pretty sweet under the hood.
