You're right. Not a fair comparison. But this is based on what I have and what it would cost me in my unique situation. And, I was hoping it might help someone else get a good idea of the actual cost to build a 360 core they already have to the stated requirements.
The 360 has a truck pan on it... Seller kept the car style pan.
I traded for the 360 and I did infact get a smoking hot deal on the 5.7...
Anyone contemplating a build similar to either one of these would just have to add in the cost of a core engine in similar shape to what I stated.
