There used to be a company that make hemi kits for the 318 efi, are there any still around that do or do i just need to do the leg work and make my own blueprints?

 

"Hemi" is the cylinder head design. (combustion chamber, to be precise) I haven't seen anything like that for the 318.....

 

Back in the early 70's I remember seeing a 318 with Red Ram heads. Either 241 or 270. The whole setup was heavily machined and parts that were needed were a hodge podge of different intakes and such. Putting EFI on it might just prove to be prohibitively expensive. 50 years has not made these parts easier to find.

 

I think I have seen all of ONE Red Ram in my entire life. (and I picked it up for 50 bucks....) Putting those heads on a 5.2 block is highly likely to be a one-off custom build. I doubt anyone made a kit to do it.....

 

Thinking back on it, it was at a World of Wheels show locally. I think it was an A block 318 and not an LA block. That engine was dropped in 1967 for U.S. production. It was descended from the polyhead 270 which was the same bock as the Hemi head 214/270 Red Ram/Super Red Ram engines. I had an extra set of 270 Hemi heads and a local hot rodder bought them off me and turned his poly head 270 into a Hemi. I even sold him one of my factory 4 barrel intakes. You can't tell that car didn't come with a Hemi. After all these years, some things from back then start to get a bit vague.
