And with enough port to feed them, and keeping piston speed safe, at least for multipurpose cars, read that "street strip" a wide torque curve is always better. ALWAYS.
As impressive as the 67--69 Z28 'Mar--oos were with that nasty 302, I would not have one jammed up my *** for everyday use.
The 318 has a flatter curve around the peak at 4900 there's only 11 lbs-ft variance from 3500-5500 rpm the 360 spends most of it time around 400 lbs-ft with a 40 lbs-ft bump at 4000 - 4500 rpm.
