318 vs 360 opinion

There is nothing wrong with the specs of the roller cam, I would leave it in there if it measures up to snuff.
Hands down I would use the Magnum for it's 9.2 Scr it will make enough power. The bottom ends go for a long long time.
The 9.2Scr 5.2M is rated at 230hp, to
the 8.0Scr 360LA 4bbl/340 cam's , 240hp.
The LA360 2bbl stocker might edge out the 5.2M in the torque department but in an A-body it just ain't that important.
What's not to like about this:
