72CHARGER, you'll get many different answers to your question. Although most of the guys on this board have a central passion, hot-rodding, their experiences have taken them in slightly different directions. My opinion is that you need more cubic inches to start with. You also need a decent gear in the rear and a way to get the power to the ground. You basically have an 17 second car right now. After you spend $1,000 for cam & kit, manifold, carb, headers and duals, you'll have a 15 second car. So what?? Some kid will come along with a ricer Honda and blow your doors off, that's what!!
This chart shows a '72 318 at 8.6:1 compression ratio, so you won't be able to put much cam in it without closing the intake valve too late and really making a dog out of it.
