What to expect out of mild build 360

Yeah its dot to dot. I think the engine could take more timing because we can't get it to ping but instead it will start to stumble, like its starts to fire on the next cylinder. is there any way I can get more timing in it without taking the front cover and degreeing the cam?





The overheating problem has been coming back and biting me all year, I've replaced the coolant hoses, added a electric pusher fan, put the shroud back on and even bought a 6 blade fan to replace the stock 4 blade from the 318 and nothing has helped, it would be running at 210-230 after 20 mins on the highway. I've got a 3 core aluminum rad and 16" fan coming on Monday that should fix all those problems though

You can get more ignition timing. But it needs more camshaft timing. Don't let it intimidate you. It's an easy job with a lot to be benefitted from. You could be talking about a 50 HP change with both camshaft and ignition timing.
