360 build or 340???

Nothing wrong with the 360! Back in early 1975, I purchased a traded in 74 W-200 Power Wagon. It had been flooded up to the headlights. Got it right. At the time, I was working with a friend of mine in a auto machine shop. I decided to warm the 360 up a bit. Total disassemle, and cleaning. No ring ridge to speak of so just a nice honing to the cylinders. Balanced the rotating assembly. Installed a 340 windage tray, enlarged the oil pan with a with a 2" wide band and installed a Melling HV oil pump. Installed a Crane Blazer hyd. cam with a Cloyes double roller chain, at 4 degrees advance. Back then the Blazer was a hotter cam the the later ones. Ported and polished the heads and a 5 angle valve job. Topped it off with a Edelbrock 2-4bl manifold with a matched set of old Carter AFBs off a hemi. Had a rod shop set up my stock HEI distributor with mechanical advance. Put a B&M shift kit in the 727 trans. What a bear it turned out to be. And it still is. The only thing I have changed through the years is that I went to a single Edelbrock AFB on a stock cast iron manifold. I was towing a 35 ft 5th wheel camper. It's still my playtoy and is pictured with my 47 dodge pickup. Good luck with either direction you go with, but don't be afraid of the 360 build. countrygent
