Idaho, Go find a 360 magnum, what they say is true, They are true performers, You don't need eddy heads, just get a set of RHS heads, even in stock form they work very well, good to 500+ HP, I dropped a 95 360 in a 71 swinger, stock bottom end, RHS heads, re-ground factory cam from bullet, .477/.477 lift, .218/.218 dur. @50 on a 112, summit headers, RPM airgap knock-off intake, 650dp, MSD dist & Mallory 6AL, PTC 11" 2800 stall, 3.73 gears, drove several times 100 miles round trip to the track, car ran consistant 8.0s @ 84, 12.5s @ 104-105 shifting at (get this) 5100 RPMs on 1.80/1.81 60fts. 27" MT DRs, installed a sniper N2o kit & pilled it for 125 shot, ran a best of 12.48 @ 95 & that still wasn't a crisp run, all the others times it just blew the tires off.
As for low end torque, theres plenty, I layed down a solid 180 ft. marks on the DRs even shifted into 2nd. I say go for it!!
Watch the video in my sig. thats the car running against a 69 Yenko 427 Camaro, He beat me running a 12.4 too my 12.5, I was on motor NA.
