360 info

part of why I was interested is that I read about cranks from those years being better. I probably wouldn't get to building it for a year or so anyway as I am doing the front end suspension and seats in the nest couple months. Money is always an issue so I wanted to see if this was worth getting. Thanks for the tips, it seems nothing special here.

While you're tending to those chores, keep an eye out for a good 360 core near you. A fair price for a core is around 300 bucks. The last two I bought were 300 apiece.

Check Craig's List every other day or so, type Mopar 360 and any other variations you think of into the search bar.

You might get lucky and find one for a bit less....maybe, lol. Make sure you can spin it using a socket and a breaker bar on the crank bolt to be sure it's freed up. Even better, if the person would let you pull the heads and take a peek at the bores!
