318 vs 360 Rebuild...
Get with BP on the exact parts needed and let them know exactly what you have and what you want to do. They can just about sew this up for you.
The engine link you have pictured has Magnum heads. So the LA intake can not be readily used. Ask BP what aluminum head style is used on the other engine.I see an LA head pictured but it should be asked! As to avoid headaches!
Yeah, I overlooked the alu heads thinking the price would be too high, but then looked at the price, it's only $800 more and looks like a lot more engine. Funny I was gonna ask you about the differences in the two and if the $800 was worth it, but after I read the specs I decided that the one with alu heads is the one I want. The cam should be fine for what I'm doing. Just putting around town, HA! Romping in the country is more like it, lol! Back in the day you could actually put the pedal to the metal in town, now there are so many cars I could hurt someone or myself doing that, so I stick to country highways now. I have a storage unit out in the country so I never need to drive it in town any more... Saves the gas driving out to the country and back to town every time, bout 20 miles each way!
But thanks for noticing that. If would either need to sell my Air Gap and buy a Magnum Air Gap, or swap the heads, I would rather sell the "Brand New" Air Gap and buy one for a Mag. I swear it has maybe 30 miles on it.
I'm wondering about headers now. Hooker makes some for a 360, would 5901HKR headers work? I mean port wise match up? The outside primary tube dia is 1-5/8". They have 3" outlets which I plan to keep the 3" all the way to the rear. What size cherry bombs should I use, I mean length wise. This engine should keep up with my Holley 750 DP you think? Or would it need even more CFM?
Is it a good idea to go with solid steel motor-mounts? Seems like it would vibrate my car apart.
All in all you have been very helpful so far. I will let you know if I need anything. If you think of anything else, please post.
