Stop in for a cup of coffee

Hell yeah... Put a 4 bbl on that sucker... A good dual plane intake with a 600 vacuum secondary carb will run nicely....

360's were unappreciated for many years because they were "smog" motors... but if you build them to the same specs as the old 68 - 71 340's they run like raped apes....

Throw a set of 2.02" intakes on them and a nice cam and 4 bbl and they will run with a 340 all day long, if not beat it....


You can pick up an old 360 2 bbl engine real cheap... Now slap in a stock 340 cam (268/272 duration and .429"/.444" lift) or slightly larger, 2.02" intake valves, and a good dual plane intake and 4 bbl on them and you have a very affordable engine that will run great.... All 360's came with 1.88" intake valves...

No more cheap 360s around here. The la’s are all gone.
I will take the 360, clean it up and hope the thermoquad works as expected. New timing chain and thats about it. I should put the 340 intake i have on it. Wont matter though. It will be better than whats in it now. 87 hp factory, its probably 70.2 in its worn out state. And i sold it, to offset the budget 360 swap.
