factory camshaft replacement
Ok motor is bad in my 318 1500. So I was gonna find a used 360 and drop it in.
Got to thinking that if I could rebuild the motor I already had for not a whole lot more money I could upgrade it and have a rebuilt motor instead of just another used motor.
My question is it is cheaper if I rebuild my motor with a master kit without a camshaft and go to the 1.7 RR. My thing is if I replace the cam bearings is there a "reason" to replace the stock camshaft? I will if necessary but would save a chunk of money if the stock one will be fine because if I replace it I would probably stay with a stock one anyway as to not have to mess with the computer.
Thoughts????????????

IMHO i would get a 360 and build that up, theres WAY more options for the 360 over the 318. is the 318 running still? or is it completly gone? i was gunna say if you can make the motor last you a lttle lnger id get the 360 and build that.

Well I am not trying to be "cheap" for sure, but best bang for the buck is completly different.
Engine needs a rebuild so I am trying to decide if I am just gonna drop in a used 360 or get a 360 and build up a little or just rebuild the 318. Leaning towards getting a good running used 360 and beefing it up a little..............or I found an 8.0 488 I could try and cram in there?????????????
