I had a friend with a 360 with 302 heads on it. He built it as a low revving torque engine for his truck. He knew it wouldn't pull over 5,500 but who cares? He picked his cam accordingly and it worked great.8)

He is actually a member here. I bought his B'cuda.
Moparnocar (Shawn). Havn't seen him around in a while. Great source of knowledge!

Welcome to FABO! Why can't you find any 360 heads? They should be every where. Go to the junk yard.

They are a little harder to find, and usually when you do they are cracked between the valve seats.

They put 360's in thousands and thousands of trucks, cars, vans, and motor homes for many many years. They cant be all that hard to find.

The wrecking yards in my area crush them when they get there 2 yards that deal in older cars but are stripped clean
