APRIL HOT ROD; 360 Magnums

Dave,

I have some third-hand innformation about the REAL output of the later R/T-head equippes "390" HP crate 360 Magnum.

Like I said, it's third (or, fourth) hand...

I have a friend here who just installed one of those R/T-headed
"390-hp" 360 M-P crate motors in his '69 Dart GT. He did some research before buying it and found one source that said tthat with 1 3/4" headers and a 750 Holley, it made 414 HP on an independent engine dyno...

Sounds about right to me... Feels like a mid-to-high 12-second car in that Dart, with TTI headers, a 3,400 rpm stall converter and a 3.55 Sure Grip.

With a 4.10 gear, a GOOD limited-slip, or spool of some sort, and some GOOD slicks, 12.60s should be possible, I think.

Just my 2-cents'....

Bill
