Estimated hp and tq. 360 la

David66dart said

I am building a mopar 360 to put in my 66 dart for some fun quarter mile days but also a fun street rod. It has stock compression, stock heads, stock crank and rods, .030 over pistons, dual plane Eddlebrock performer intake, 650 cfm Eddlebrock carb, stock eletronic ignition, new flat tapped cam 224 230 at 50, 110 separation. And shorty headders. What are you guys and gals thinking that this motor will make for hp and tq?
Also, I will be having a 727 trans from a dodge d200 truck and was wondering what converter I should get and maybe a shifter kit recommendation? It's my first build. Also, does anyone have an 8.25 or 8.75 a body rear end for sale? Sorry for lack of knowledge. It's my first build and I'm a highschooler.

sounds like a fun ride when you get it done. after I got home from AIT for the Army reserves in 1990, I bought a 74 dart sport. for the engine I bought I new stock 89 360 short block. I didn't know any better at the time lol, but I installed the mopar 292/509 purple shaft cam, factory LD340 cast iron intake, Holley 750 DP carb,hooker super comp headers.
727 transmission I built my self, turbo action reverse manual valve body, 10 inch 3500 stal no name torque converter
8-3/4 rear-end, 4.10 gears with factory sure grip, street 275/60/15 tires.
my car wasn't all that fast, would run 13.20 at 105 in the 1/4 on street tires, but was a blast to drive on the street. at the time I drove the car all year, even drove it to work on day with 8 inches of snow on the ground.lol
on the rear-end if you cant find a 8-3/4 or don't want to spend the crazy money that they are going for now. look for a 8.8 out of a mid to late 90 ford explorer. They take a little work to fit into an Abody, but you should be able to get one complete from the pick and pull for $200. the axles are 31 spline, have disc brakes and you can find them with 3.73 and 4.10 gears+ posi tracs. I am putting a 8.8 in my 96 Dakota race truck
here is a Article on what to look for and what all it takes to install one.
