found this video interesting.. 360 dyno testing.

Interesting info in video. Some old low compression 360 2 bbl makes 330 torque or something. Then 4 bbl adds like 30 hp no loss in low end tq. At one point headers added 30 torque down low but not much difference at higher rpm.

Pretty easy to swap in decent compression pistons and have a fairly stout 360 mild cam stock heads bowl blended etc. Long throw crank torque.

If mopar would have offered a 360 from the factory with more compression it might have dethroned the 340 legend.
