^^^ You have more patience than I do LOL! But back on topic, I would take a LA 360 if I could get rid of those dished pistons and stuff zero deck or positive deck a la 340 pistons in it ...true story I once scrapped a 360 short block because at the time they were about as plentiful as 318s (boat anchors) I wish I'd have kept it but I had 340s and needed room in the garage...does anyone else remember when Mopar guys were running at minimum 383 big blocks and small blocks were undesirable unless they were 340s? I had guys giving me small blocks because hey pulled them and replaced them with big blocks and wanted the "scrap metal" out of their garage. This was pre magnum days. Ive had 318s given to me free attached to 904 transmissions and 360s 50 bucks LOL!
