wow! 11 sec 318 charger

[chargerkid01]

I havent been in that truck since I bought the new one when I stopped driving it it had 337000 on it, my cousin is driving it now, he said it had 338000 on it well I checked it and it hasn't made it their yet so I will cosider it at 337000 sorry about that guys thats my fault!!!! I'll give you some history on it. My grandpa bought it new and drove it over the road all over the state for work, about 7 or so years ago (before I got into keeping track of dates and documentation) we did a half a$$ paint job on it to keep it from rusting out. When I turned 16 and got my license and it was handed down to me I drove the hell out of it... Well I got a girlfriend and some other things so I bought a 95 ram extended cab (new to me lol) almost a year ago! I parked the old truck with 337000 on it!! I do have that writen down on a peice of paper in the glove box. Then about 4 months ago my cousins chevy took a shit on him. Grandpa said he could use the old dodge untill he found something else; he is still driving it today. when I asked him how many miles was on it he said 338000 when I checked it it was 337524. Take it as you want either 337000 or 338000 the truck has rolled over 3 times so that is 300000 miles plus what is on the odometer now!! sorry I guess that is what happens when you stop driving something and let someone else drive it!! I'll post a pic later!!

i wonder, from a numbers stand point what is worth more. my 68 satellite 318 bench seat car or the same car now with a 383-4 speed surgrip and bucket seats....   same thing gos for my daughters car. 69 coronet 440 318 car or a 69 bee clone with a 440.    for me.... i just need more cubes, be it a small block stroker or a bb in my b bodys.

all things considered, remember:

"There is NO REPLACEMENT
for BIG DISPLACEMENT"

Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, when it comes to performance, size REALLY DOES matter!
don't misunderstand, I LUV THE 318- (i even have a favorite year- 1967) but from a practicality point, starting with big cubes works better

This one's got my curiosity perculating ?

74 Charger, W/ "318" ,   going 11.40's ?

What MPH is he clocking with those 11.4's ?  Did you notice ? VERY IMPORTANT !

It can be done, yes, but why ?

Those setups are typically old "Super Stock" class type stuff, dunno what class he'd "fit" in a 74 Charger ?

Does it leave like gangbusters with a great 60 ft., then basically just make a bunch of noise, the rest of the way down the strip ?

Hi new here. Just go a 69 charger with 318.  was wondering if warm it up a bit(302 heads with a 3angle, edelbrock performer rpm intake, Lunati voodoo 262 cam(.475,.494), and set of hedman headers) put in a 3.55 gear(has suregrip) maybe stall converter will it smoke the tires.
I know it sound foolish, but the "old man" said" its only a 318 it won't even cherp them"

Set up properly a 318 will smoke the tires right down to the rims.  Engine size is only a part of an overall equation and trust me, there are plenty of 440's out there that can't smoke the tires.

[G-man]

318 cube motor if built propperly, the way european engineers build their engines, can produce 572 horsepower (not stroked).

Having said that I believe it can run that time.

But on other hand, taking the same formula a big block 440ci built the exact same way (which it also can be) will produce 792 horsepower.

So though small block can do it, it will be under a hell alot of stress and a hell of alot of $$$ will be spent. You can start with a 440 and with just a minor twist here and there u can get 572hp and will be cheaper to drive around on gas and will last a hell of a lot longer and wont drive like a pig.

So...

BIG BLOCK ALL THE WAY!
