LA 360 budget build ideas

With a basic 9:1 360, getting into that 1hp/cu range is quite easy.
It just depends on what you’re willing to live with in terms of cam, gears, stall.
The milder you want it, the better the heads/induction need to be.

You can get there with basically stock heads if you run enough cam, but then you need more gear and converter to go with it.

True 9:1, bowl ported refurbished heads(honest 210-220 [email protected] lift), rpm style manifold, headers, mid-220’[email protected] cam....... should get you there.
