360 build for dart swinger

Bottom line you dont get something for nothing, machine shops costs have gone up. As a reference, my 355 sbc in my vette is an all cast motor except aluminum intake with a holley carb and headers. Dropped it off at engine builder, block crank rods, he supplied heads cam pistons etc. Bottom line i got a motor built for $4000.00 dyno tuned with warranty. 350 hp and 390 tq He used 882 truck heads as they are beefy and he has his own formula for porting. Car is a daily driver as well. From here on in if you want more HP and TQ you buy aluminum heads and bump up compression and cam. COST INCREASES then.

My 426 low deck big block in my duster makes 525 HP 552 TQ has good manors pump gas 9.98-1 compression solid flat tappet cam. Cost me $13K carb to pan Dyno tuned.
