Warmed-over 360+16 year old=too much?

360 is definitely too much.....maybe just me, but I have met some mean 360s in my time into cars ....with that 3.58 stroke .....they can definitely be mean if pushed.......try and push the envelope on a 360 and I bet it wont hesitate before you do.

I would think a slanty or 318 for a beginner ...a 318 is has good power but runs out of breath quick which in this case could be a good thing....especially with a 2 bbl and 2.76 gears.. they run out of carb and manifold quick.

to me a 360 is a 340 ...I have both and they run pretty close but I think the 360 I had in my dart is meaner than my dad's 340 cuda IMO.

I was older when I started driving but still no matter who you are ...your going to try and push it at least once when your by yourself on an empty back road.
