That's easy to get out of a 318, it just depends on your budget. Is your motor the original one? If it is, even better! The 70 318 had a forged crank! If money isn't as much an issue, I would opt for the Edelbrock heads, they work great for your 318, and with a mild cam, say 270 duration, good intake, like the Edelbrock performer RPM, and a good carb and ignition. You will make well over 300 horses. If money is an issue I would pick up a set of 360 heads from the boneyard and start from there with the same mods, either way you will hit 300 HP easy. Have you considered swapping in a big block? They too are plentiful, and with the duster's light weight make it a natural for the B motor!
