advice: 500hp SB build
Do you remember any of the build specs of that old 360 you had? That's right where I want to be in terms of performance - how is/was the car set up?
This motor was built in 1988 with W-2 heads and a small Crane solid roller(
[email protected] & .500 lift)
The pistons were old Direct Connection units that weighed a ton, 12.5 to 1.
Some dome was cut off to bring them down to 11.5, but it would not run on pump gas with the iron heads. I bought a drum of C-12 and soon got tired of
filling from a gas can everytime i wanted to go for a drive, so i parked the car
for 14 yrs. and sold that 360.
It's an original '74 360 car w/only 14,000 miles & orig. paint, I will post some pics as soon as i get it from storage.
As far as chassis, I've always liked to keep is simple - super stock springs,
good adjustable rear shocks, loose front shocks & a sticky tire.
On automatic cars i don't use a pinion snubber, but yours being a 4-speed
absolutley - set about 1" from the floor, and check pinion angle, it should be
5-7 degrees down (u-joints soak up hp.like a sponge).:cheers:
