Stop in for a cup of coffee

I actually thought of putting a 360 / truck OD in the coronet .....but its almost like a B-body needs a 383 + ....dang they are huge cars.

I like 360s of the small block family ....at one time I had a running 340 car at the same time as a running 360 and I compared and I think the 360 outran the 340.

for the what you get from a 360 and for the cost .......cant go wrong at all. I still find 360s for $169. + core at my pick - a - part

360's are very good engines.

They have more stroke than a 383/400....

3.58" for the 360 vs 3.375 for the 361/383/400 big block.

Some good torque potential.


The 74 Charger I had ran well with a 360, plenty of torque to get the heavy b-body going. The 318 that we tried in it, was not enough...

If you're going B or E body, the 360 is a great engine to go with.


If you need any tips for yours, let me know. I've been doing SB's for over 30 years....
