360 or 340?

crackedback said

Yea I'm done thinking about the 340. The cost is not worth it to me. I found a 360 for $100 near my house. So I'm thinking of going with that. This way once I install that I have the 318 as back up motor if anything were to go wrong.

Now I just need a good build recipe for the 360.

Thanks,

Good plan. Nothing wrong with either. The initial cost to get into a 340 is more than a 360. After that, it's about the same.

How much HP you looking for and what year is the block you can get for $100.

A simple 350hp 360 build is:
KB107's
XE268H
stock heads cleaned up, better would be the RHS X heads (probably +20hp)
LD340/RPM/Air Gap
750DP or 950DP
Headers
Good ignition

Figure a HP goal and run with it.[/QUOTE]

Hey Crackedback,
Well unfortunately I just called and the 360 was sold last night. So I'm on the hunt for another one.
I would like 400+ hp. Thats what I'm aiming for. Maybe 360 stroked?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
