Inputs on a home built 318 for red light to red light fun

Why can’t you just freakin help the guy out building what he’s got instead of being a jerk?

Better yet, give him a complete 360 for free since it seems like there is no issue for YOU to do a swap. For sure you must have a spare 360 ready to run or build in your stash.

OP get a book titled "how to rebuild your small block Mopar" and assemble the engine. Check back in and tell us all about it. Pay attention to torque specs. and keep things clean going together. You could use any shop manual all you need is the torque specs. You have to know how to set ring gaps ,a good set of rings will have instructions in the package. Just do it don't get too hung up asking questions here. You'll know the first time punching the pedal if its good or not. In all reality a stock 318 from 1974 would be a good light to light engine, its all in the rear gears. Someone mentioned 3.91:1 I knew a feller with a 73 Duster with a stock 318 it was a hoot this was back in the 80s when the car was like 10 years old.
