1975 360 budget build

I figured the OP working with a 360 should get 1 hp per cubic inch with 4bbl, mild head work, mild cam and a good exhaust.


That 245 was net though.... it's 300 gross. Just a 4bbl and headers make a stock 360 mag about 300 hp
  • 4 bbl (600-750 cfm) & intake (dual plane)
  • Fresh heads. MPG and power is made by good sealing valves. If you are up to the challenge, mild bowl porting at home with a Dremel can get you a little more....
  • camshaft- keep duration in the range of 214-224 @ 50; lift between .444-.474.
  • A good dual exhaust system.
  • Tune and more tuning. Your are at your goal.
What pistons do you recommend? Should I just run the stock ones?
