Daily Driver.. LA318 vs 360 Magnum

Back in 1977? I had a 75 360 Cordova with a 360 2.76 gears. It was easy 20 mph on the highway (80-85) but too not great in the city. I did was remove the Lean Burn and re-jet the carb. One day a gentleman came into the station and remarked on the paint job (custom) and asked if it was a 318 and I told him 318's were pigs, remember 1977, so I told him about the millage and the torque and he said no way so I thru him the keys and when he came back he said from now on I'm only ordering 360's in all the ones I order. He ended up owning a Chrysler dealership!
I should have added in my old Cordoba. I also got 20 mpg’s.
‘79-360 - 2bbl ran terrible. Same things you did pretty much. Here’s what I did.
Trap door air cleaner
Edelbrock 600
OEM 4bbl.
Electronic distributor orange box fired
Dual exhaust off of the exhaust manifolds
By law.... grrrrrr ... by law i used twin high flow cats. H pipe, then out to the back bumper @ 2-1/4 pipe.
Your right about power! NONE! The mid ‘70’s plus was tough in that. But it did wake up some for sure.

LU 904/2.76 on stock tires. What ever the Cordoba called for back then. 20 mpg was realized at or below 65.
