Looking for opinions on low budget 360 build

I just can't spend thousands, maybe $1500 all in. I dream of new heads, roller lifters, etc...but those I think are a dream for me and my wallet.
I did my 340 & 360 short block for around that price tag.
1500 should get you a reasonable rebuild. basic but useable.
Yup!

318WR suggest cam is a good one for stock running gear. A lot of about camshaft specs and size is wrapped up in what your doing, draw weight, rear gear and tire size and IF a new converter is in the cards.

Don’t dream of a roller tappet. A good solid is all your going to need. Dream of cylinder heads another time.
