    Crate 360 vs DIY Built

    so my project 70 Dart will eventually have a 360 under the hood to replace the original /6. I have a 360 engine already from a 77 Cordoba. It turns over but I don't know the condition of the internals, if the block has any damage, ect. it needs a new ignition, exhaust, intake at least. It will...

    Young Gun Marine needs engine build

    I hope it needs only a refresh but I am less than knowledgable and this engine hang been tire apart in a looong time. Possibly missing parts, can't really say. I'm hoping to have the combo under the hood by summer 2015, sooner if possible

    Young Gun Marine needs engine build

    Roger that. Pretty much what I'm hoping for is someone far wiser than I to give me a hand. I joined the corps as a mech for amphib assault vehicles, but right now my knowledge as a mech is pretty limited so I need all the help I can! Sometimes it sucks bein young an inexperienced!

    Hemi 360?

    do they make hemi heads for 340/360's? i figure a hemi is just a v8 with hemi heads anyway, since the original hemi was a regular wedge motor and they added hemi heads. if someone does produce heads for these sb's, what kind of hp/tq would you expect out of a '76 360? what kind of fuel economy...

    360 driver build

    theres another thing to think of there, rumble. availability. a GV costs a lot up front, but i can get ahold of one easier. its just a matter of money. an a500 id have to find a tranny, possibly ship it, an either cut and weld or find a bolt in kit you were talkin about. plus, from what i...

    wouldnt i have to do a bunch of modification to the tranny tunnel and crossmember to install an A500 though? and gear vendors doesnt need more than a few hammer dings in the floor pan and gives you a 6 speed. i was figuring id do gear vendors waaay down the road though since i already have a 904...
