thanks. what kind of performance should i expect out of a 360? "abodyjoe" that car is awsome. what motor is in the picks? also how can i make the valiant handle better? its a 4 door :( .


depends what you have done to it... a very mild small block will put it in the 13's easy. maybe faster... a friend has a 66 cuda with a pretty much stock 78 360 long block . he has a hemi grind cam in it a tunnle ram with two holley 390's a mp 175k convertor and 3:23's and the dam thing has gone a 12.81 in the quarter.. the cars are lite and will run with mild motors in them...


to get one to handle i would put atleast .990 torsion bars up front,a set of 6 leaf hd springs out back and front and rear sway bars and you should be good to go..


the motor in my 64 was a 440
