Funny you mention this--The very first engine I "rebuilt" was a 360 out of a Cordoba. Did a re-ring job and stuck a small purpleshaft in it with a Weiand Stealth manifold and a rebuilt TQ. That engine probably made all of 275-300HP but the 5.0 crowd ran and hid from my 71 Valiant. I think that's why I love 360's so much, they always had a rep of not being a revver like a 340 and having no power or the rods not staying in them when revved like a 340. I addressed all of these issues with my first 360 and the only thing in town in the street small block crowd that had anything for me was a rebuilt 340 powered 4spd Dart--even then I killed him off the line and we were neck and neck the entire quarter. Stop light 2 stop light it was no contest. Properly built 360's kick the sh#$ out of 340's on the street. J.Rob
