Just 1. And this engine has been collecting dust ever since. (Those eq heads were bought new right off of their dock in Chicago, I went down and picked them up as it was actually cheaper than shipping)
I hope not to have to re bore again. I see no scoring, and that engine had about 3 hours of run time on it from install to take out. But as any, if it calls for it to be bored again , it will be to make it right. Worst case I have another 360 mag short block sitting on the ground right next to this one that's never been apart of this one winds up too bad once apart.
No but it adds to it.
My dislike of the 360 goes back to the late 80s, ones I've had and ones dad had, 70s ones that did nothing better than 318s besides more stops for fuel. I've gone 318>360 and 360>318 between fender wells before largely based on what was available at any given time and really didn't get any more out of 360s back then than I did out of 318s in otherwise same cars..... I always considered the dished pistons of the 360 their downfall and always wanted to build a 360 (besides stock rebuild that is, which was what i did to the 360 I currently have on the stand ... )
Dead stock besides an overbore to clean up clearances....
These older 360s were in a Cordoba, a van and a pickup. And the ones that I went 360>318 didn't seem to be any doggier with the smaller engine. The one I went 318>360 with back then didn't seem any more powerful with the bigger engine back then. These were all used engine take outs replaced with lower miles used.
I'm going 360 in this one because it's what I have, and hoping for noticeable improvement over what was in it. . a 318 that my son is still running around with, but now in a c body wagon..and what drives me the most nuts about the 360 is all the people on here that say to drop a 318 in a ditch just because it's a 318, and "you MUST put a 360 in there or your car won't be worth a damn". That is way wrong mentality.
