My 360 build

Yea I'm working off the back deck and storing the engine in my laundry room. My wife isnt happy about that at all! Haha my tailgate on my old truck is my work bench and tool storage. Haha someday I hope to have a garage. Yea I wanted to keep it as original and "basic" as possible I wanted it to be a mopar engine like they was intended to be. I didn't want "scat" rods and "stroker" cranks and all that stuff just more money and more to worry about. My goal isnt a set ET or to have the fastest car I want a reliable strong running engine and I think mopar knows best.
Well you and I see eyey to eye on a lot of this build.

I have to admit I bought some pre-owned ( sounds better than used) Crower billet rods to replace the fresh 340 numbers I had intended to use on my 388 race motor but I still have a Mopar block, head's, crank, rockers and intake. And all but the water.pump are home grown right here in the USA.

If your other sources fail I have a set of 1976 covers from a 360 truck if you need them.
