400 horsepower low compression 360

That "Other small block" video is excellent. For all those that think putting in camshaft will kill the bottom, there's little difference at 2500-4000 rpm across the board with all the changes, big differences up top. You get the best of both worlds. Put a 63 cc chamber alum head on that rated 8.5:1 360 and you get a decent squeeze factor.

Those 268 camshafts are mild and easy to tune throughout the operating range.
100%, some have it in their brains stock has most down low torque which a stock 2bbl 360 has 325-335 lbs-ft between 2,000-3,000 rpm and down hill after that I've yet to see a reasonably built engine do far worst than that.

Here's the results of that low cr 360 video above, 360 heads with 2.02 and mild pocket port, xe250h and xe268h plus other mods, vs stock 360.
It would take a lot more cam to do worse than stock but by then you should be running a 3,000 + rpm stall anyways.
