The best way would be to get the Mopar Performance 380 horsepower 360 crate engine. The 318's were made to be good reliable motors, not performance motors. To use your motor you will first need a good cam. Then you will need a good 4 barrel intake manifold and 4 barrel carburator. Next a good set of heads, headers and exhaust. As you can see, to get alot out of the 318 in your car, you'll need to do alot to it. The 318's in the cars, especially in the 80's, are very, very under powered. It would actually be cheaper to buy the 360 crate engine, then to modify the 318.

By the way, the 5th Avenues aren't K-cars.[sm=smiley2.gif]

Not being a K-car, it would probably have to fall under classic I guess, but I'm not sure myself.[sm=smiley24.gif][sm=smiley36.gif]
