Can We Build this $1000 Junkyard 318 LA into a 400hp Monster? Part 1

We are taking the Mopar no one wants, a 40-year-old Mopar 318 LA straight from the junkyard and restoring it to become a street powerhouse that will make Chevy and Ford fans jealous! To prove what this forgotten economy V8 can really do, we are putting it to the test in stock trim on the dyno before stripping it down and showing you the build prep, complete block machining and balancing for our upgraded parts. By targeting the factory weak points holding it back, we are building a fresh foundation for serious horsepower from this classic small block.
