street stock
I am starting a car for a local street stock class. rules are 360 max
stock exaust stock intake hyd cam 3400lbs. I am building a 318 for now a 360 later. I have a 4bbl intake for a quad jet. I need to know what is a safe rpm for stock rods? what kind of piston clearnce also? i have always messed with chevy befor so all this is new to me. the track is 1/2mi dirt long straights tight corners. our chevy runs a 5.30 gear at 5700rpm. the car I 'm running will be a c body. I am the only mopar so I will have to come here for advice. |

Stock rods are fine for a street stock application once resized and fitted with new rod bolts. If you're going to build a 318, why not just get a 360 core and start with that? The additional torque will be worth the change.
I have two 360's built for street stock racing. One's a hydraulic cam KB zero deck pistons 10-1 or so engine and the other was built with a solid cam and more compression. Both use J heads with 2.02/1.60 valves. I don't think that's necessary to be competitive, though. The hydraulic cammed 360 uses a 284/484 purple shaft and is very competitive and very durable. I also have Chevy street stock stuff and that 360 will run all day with my 406 with long rods, 12-1 compression, solid cam and double hump heads. |

360 motor
If possible bo start with the 360. If not then turn lots of rpm with the 318. I ran a stock rod stock crank 360 with heavy high compression pistons and always turned 7,000 rpm every race. the 318 you could turn more than that easy. With a 3400 lb car you would be much better off with the 360.
You can do well with a mopar just don't try calling the chevy places to get parts or advice! |

so what do you guys use for ignition on those high revving motors. I am having problems with my 360 and I wonder if my valve springs might be going bad after 15 nights.
