Rockers cost about the same. So we are talking about carb, intake, cam, and headers. All things being equal, in my experience, the 383 will destroy the 360. Just don't over cam it.
I don't have an A body mopar at the moment. When I did I drove it everywhere, with 4.56's. Stopped for gas a lot, and took it easy on the freeway. Hurt a lot of 5.0 feelings with a 66 Barracuda with a 318. Drove it everywhere for about about 4 years. And then the motor blew up.
I still check in there from time to time, but there's not much going on. That was the first forum I was ever a part of.
I don't blame Bill for getting out. He has a business to run.
My experience has been that 318's are Tits on a Ritz. Might not win every race but you always get there. Unless you put some gears, cam, headers, and carb and let it eat.
Thanks for the input everyone. She wont be hauling kids on a regular basis. Just the grandson once in a while, although I'm sure there will be more grand kids in the future.
I'm not sure what else out there compares to the Durango except the Exploder which I know is giving the CHP fits with...
My wife wants a new car and she likes the looks of the Durango. I don't think I can can talk her into the R/T so it will most likely be mid level with the V6. Anyone have experience or opinions?
