I've got a '93 Dakota that I want to put a built engine into. Why? Because I fuckin' can. However, I'm having a dilemma here. Should I build a 318 and just put 360 heads on it (after milling some of it to keep compression), or should I just build a 360 to begin with and throw it in there?
My goal here is to make as much power as possible on the cheapest budget possible. What are your thoughts? This is also going to be my first engine build.

Pick one and only one.
build the 318.
>implying chrysler engines are not good engines
You get out, you whore
they are the best, but hes right. they are pricey
That's true, but I just wouldn't feel right with a SBC or SBF in my Dodge. So I've decided with either 318 or 360 Magnum
personally, I'd use a 360 block with a 318 crankshaft. Get a modernized 340 tribute engine going.
Why not? It's a fucking Dakota. Nobody cares.
Just go to Pull-A-Part, buy an LQ4 and call it a day.
Would that offer any benefits as opposed to a 318 with 360 heads? I'm new to engine building and I figure I'm probably going to learn quite a bit from my first build.
But I care. I was gonna go to Pick a part and pull either the 360 or 318 considering all of the yards near me have a fuck ton of Rams with the magnums.
Build some short-stroke high-rev monster, that'd be hilarious.
Although it'd probably not be the best choice for "most power on a budget".
