360 build

Ashton,

I ran a low compression 360 in my 68 originally. I built it when I was 17 with limited funds. Like I alluded to in an earlier post, it was a cheapy Pep Boys rebuild. 7.823 to 1 compression, X heads, 508 MP hydraulic cam, stock pushrods and rockers, torker intake and 750 dp Holley. I had it in my Dart with a 3500 stall ,low gear 904, and a 4.56 geared sure grip 8 3/4. It made 297 at the rear wheels in street trim. The car ran 12 ohs at 110 in a 3200 pound car. If I had do it all over again I would cut the heads and increase the compression and I would not change the pistons. Leave it and put some cut heads on it and put a good cam in it and you wont be disappointed. I ran this motor for years with no problems. Good luck.
