360 engines, from aus

>>ive been offered a 360 engine and its aparently an austrailian 360 and is suppose to have thicker cylinder walls

It would be an early casting as the 360 was only offered in the larger-size "Chrysler by Chrysler" (great name huh?), and these were only around from 1972 to 74 or thereabouts. The early 360s (pre-73) are rumored to have the thicker wall castings but I believe a few members here have not found that to be the case.

Freight on shipping a 360 block would be very expensive any way you did it...and the price on 360 blocks down under is a lot more than you would pay in the US (one of the reasons I stuck with my 318).
