when i was a broke dick teen i built up a motor like that. snagged an updated 360 short block that somebody was unloading because a cylinder had eaten a valve. the bore was still good, piston not so much. straight up trash can build, found a used piston and nabbed some rings. threw some X heads at it with a pocket port and a 3 angle and springs. nothing earth shattering. stabbed in a $100 PAW white box jobber, topped it with a weiand 8007 and TQ and went out to terrorize the town folks with a beer budget 904 build and 2.76 peg leg.
it got much better once there was a serious trans and some proper gears behind it, but still a hoot none the less. surprised a lot of people.
