Stop in for a cup of coffee

Hell yeah... Put a 4 bbl on that sucker... A good dual plane intake with a 600 vacuum secondary carb will run nicely....

360's were unappreciated for many years because they were "smog" motors... but if you build them to the same specs as the old 68 - 71 340's they run like raped apes....

Throw a set of 2.02" intakes on them and a nice cam and 4 bbl and they will run with a 340 all day long, if not beat it....


You can pick up an old 360 2 bbl engine real cheap... Now slap in a stock 340 cam (268/272 duration and .429"/.444" lift) or slightly larger, 2.02" intake valves, and a good dual plane intake and 4 bbl on them and you have a very affordable engine that will run great.... All 360's came with 1.88" intake valves...

Oh yeah, don't forget to put a good double roller timing chain in the 360... The stock single row chains were weak.... A stock 340 double roller or better...

I like the Edelbrock true roller double roller....

Edelbrock


I once refreshed an engine that I built that had 125,000 miles on it... I already bought the Edelbrock true roller from Mancini for $50 back then.... When I tore the engine down the chain was still in nice shape with minimal stretch.... I could have kept the old Edelbrock true roller chain in there, but since I got the new one for only $50 I threw it in anyway...
