Now you see why I ruled out the 360. I don't see how it could get out of its own way with the 318 that is in it.
The small block package allows for easier and cheaper quench, cheap roller cam, kegger torque, factory fuel injection, and serpentine accessories that are better and much more easily found if something happens. My dakota toad will have a magnum v8 in it as well if I need to borrow parts.
