Yup! Great color. I'm amazed by how small that 318 looks in the engine bay.

@jkuvakas same bay handled the 440. I had the 318 in mine back in 72.

@frank, it seems I remember someone having a 318 4BBL back in the day. Could that be correct?

@jkuvakas over my head but just looked on line and folks were talking aftermakrkets and changing heads and crankshafts. 🤪

4BBL 318s showed up in the mid-late 1970's on cars, commercial cars & trucks. I don't think factory 4BBL 318s were available in the late '60's. But I'm no expert.
It is a very nice looking car and I do like the rare color with the black contrast, but it just seems wrong to have just a 318 under the hood with that aggressive styling. A 383 would be more fitting IMHO.
