LA 360 Engine refresh?

I hear you there, been home since March with my wife and two boys. The up side is I got a lot work done to my car.

All the work your going to do is with the engine installed in the car? If so, that's tough but doable. Is this your first time with building an engine/car or is this something you've done before?

So help us out, what do you want out of your 360 and how do you intend to use it, (i.e nice street cruiser only, drag race only, got handling street car, etc)? This will help us a lot in helping you. I will say mystery rebuilds are difficult to modify because you don't know whats inside in the terms of static compression, valve springs, cam shaft, etc. From you description some one built a mild performance 360. Have you looked into the tune as in initial and total timing, carb settings, read plugs? Sometimes you'll find that a mild engine can really be woken up with a good tune.
