360 Magnum Daily Driver (but fun too!!!)

Apologies - probably all been shared before, but…..

This topic has no doubt likely been covered many times before but am welcome of some ideas.

I’ve a 360 Magnum engine out of a 2001 Dakota, it’s currently in the machine shop being prepared for me to start a rebuild.

Am a novice builder and am welcoming of advice - here is what it’s going in and what the use will be. EFI is going in (not a carb) and am not shifting on that….

A 1973 Plymouth Scamp (currently 318) - daily driver - want to be able to pull away quickly, punch in and out of corners - decent fuel economy would be nice - DOESN’T need to be choppy or loud (think I’m going deaf anyway and happy to keep my ears intact for longer!) - this build is about performance not noise. Ultimately, the build is to get daily enjoyment, but if I want to put my foot down, thump into and out of a corner and play around with some autocross (and grin from ear to ear, always) I can.

Magnum engine is a roller cam. Am pretty set on EngineQuest heads (after lots of digging) but other than that, am open to ideas and suggestions/advice. Probably Holley EFI, as Edlebrock doesn’t currently support Magnums.

Budget isn’t bare bones but don’t want to go bankrupt.
