So for the 360 I would of course need motor mounts (which are hard to find )..... BTW it is a 74 Dart its going in.
What is the big difference between the early LA 360 and a Magnum? or even a crate 360?

the 318 I can get comes with the trans and rear and driveshaft..
The 318 mounts are available...not sure what headers I would need and Im pretty sure a muffler shop would have to build me an exhaust system????/

All this info is helpful indeed So all input is appreciated.

if I were to take it to the track I would hope to run high 13's possible with the 318?

• I've used 318 mounts on 360's, just need to make spacers (I've used nuts)
• LA 360 is from '71-92. '93-03 are magnums. All magnums have roller cams, oil through pushrods, closed chamber heads, different intake mounting bolt holes, different timing cover/pulleys/water pumps. There are more differences, those are the majors. Good news is alot parts can interchange between LA/Mag motors.
• 318's have the ability to perform according to what's put in them and what they are put in. There are 10 second street 318's out there, but not on a 2 dollar budget. I put 498 bucks into a stone stock 318 2bbl and ran 14's with 2.76 gears and stock converter.
