Thanks Norm. That's what I figured, the 315 would be the correct motor for my '58 (if they had put one in the W300M!) So the poly has more HP and Torque huh? They say that the 318 LA has more HP than the wideblock, but it's just the opposite in the field. I think 4bbl intakes and parts are easier to find for the 315 also. I'm going to get the motor and build it over a few years which means it will set on a engine stand in my shop for a long time while I look at it and scratch my head. The 318 would be a more practical engine, but the Hemi will always be king! I just love those Hemi heads. If you have a vintage truck, you should have a vintage POWER plant also dont you think?
