360 questions

the only problems with 360's in stock trim was the lack of compression. They simply weren't build for power- more like reliability, in stock trim you won't notice alot of difference in power(more use of fuel though) unless your 318 is really wore out. Build the 360 with some flat tops to get the compression up and find some earlier 360 heads (J heads would be perfect but getting harder to find) and learn to port a little. Just cleaning up the castings (gasket matching and polishing- not to smooth on the intake though!) will help- Mopars castings weren't that great in the 70's. Or if you really want to go crazy open them up to 2.02 intakes- alot of work though, better if someone who has done it before guides you along. For a cam Comps Extreme Energy line is awesome!- especially for a street car great low end and they don't stop pulling. Lunatis new Voodo line is good too but a little more aggresive meaning you'll have to spend more cake on the top end(springs/valves) Just remember whatever cam you go with don't go to big you'll kill your bottom end and thats where you want your street motor to work the best.
