360 budget build
I like it. What I'd do differently is :
- a bigger carb, 750 DP
- get your money back on the main bolts if you are not using a windage tray. Factory bolts are fine.
- I had zero issues with my speedmaster intake on a LA 318
- Fun? Depends on what you consider fun. Some need an 11 second car to say "fun", and others are thrilled with 15 seconds flat. I think your car will run high 12's with proper converter.
