Cheapest way to built a 300-350hp small block
i was hoping to pick up a 360 from a wrecking yard and not even touch the bottem end. just straight bolt-ons. if it blows up or dies just pick up another long block and do it again. just trying to keep this on a extremely minimal budget. no port work or full on rebuilds for this one.
how does this sound?
360 out of early 90s pickup/van = 500 at pull a part
eddy performer rpm air gap = 200 new
my 650 holley carb = free
my headers = free
new timing chain = 100
oil pump = 60
gasket kit = 50
misc brackets and parts = 250
comes to $1160 bucks.
not sure what exactly to look for in a 360. i have only played with the old school LA small blocks.
