[v 194]

I have two cams from General Kenitcs(sp) Any idea which one is prefered for a 318 w/ 360 heads headers MP ignition stock 4 bbl.;
204I 214e @ .050 dur. and .420I .442E lift.
218I 228E @ .050 dur. and .441I&E lift.
Any idea on HP output?
Pros?

It's easy to "overcam" any engine, especially a small one like a 318. If you don't know the compression, or you know it's stock, (probably around 8.5:1), go with the smaller, (less duration) cam. I'm currently building a 9:1 comp. 318 and am using a Speed-Pro cam with 204@ .050/ .420 lift. Hope this helps.....djs

In the past thes are the cams I have run in my 318
1 MP# P4529961 292/292 76 108 .508/.508
To big for a 2bbl restricted Oval track engine
2 MP #P4452782 268/276 44 114 .429/.444 ( resto cam )
Worked but rally nothing to wright home about worked well on the short track enduro racing good balance between milage & Performance
3 MP #P4452992 280/280 60 110 .474/.474
Liked it worked well with a dual plane TQ set up piked up .8 in the 1/4 over the resto cam. Dont like it with the single plane setup I ran last year. That said it did pull like a freight train past the 100ft and threw the top end. But died out past 5500rpm.

CR 9.8:1

Miself If I were to build a mild street SBD id go with # 3. Gives a nice lope to the idle but very managable vacume.
