With the exception of the 318 of course. Everyone knows that while they were no powerhouses, they were hard to beat when it comes to reliabilty.

The 318 is fawking bulletproof. It will WRECK a 305. If it weren't for the fact that I cant get shlitz for MOPAR parts in junkyards up here, I would have restored an old Dodge instead. One of the biggest reasons I chose a small block chevy was because every auto store in America carries parts for them.
I drove a 79 Plymouth Volare' for years! Back then (92-97 ish) the world if 'internet parts' didnt really exist. Even finding a store with switches and ignition parts for that car could be a beyotch. Gawd I miss that ugly old car. I tell ya this much though. When I first brought my 305 Camaro home I expected it to drive like that 318 did.....not even close.
