Generally peak torque for the average street guy is 0.9 to 1.27 lbs-ft per cid, can go as 1.67 for a max effort race engine, most are lucky to get over 1.3, and for engine were talking about might get 1.15 to a high of 1.2 lbs-ft per cid.
So a 318 will make a peak tq of 280 to 380 (stock to fairly modded) lbs-ft and a 360, 330 to 430 (stock to fairly modded) lbs-ft as you see a modded 318 is a like a stock 360 under 3500-4000 rpms, you need rpm to overcome the difference with about 600 to 800 rpms more from stall to shift points, or during cruising geared to spin 600-800 rpm more at any given road speed.

It is horse then cart.
If you get a horse Dan, they come standard with a power glide. 
Believe it or not but I already know that
I'll just swap it for a turbo 350, and use the torque converter from the power glide as a poor man's stall converter.If you get a horse Dan, they come standard with a power glide.
i know you said no manual trans, and you despise green... but this is all you amigo!
and the price is right!

1976 dodge colt for sale - Lafayette, IN - craigslist
Manual 2 door very nice must see
What would I want with that clunker? Was you thinking of buying it for yourself?
That's a real cream puff.
right? i'd cruise that all day! probably faster than a mid 70's wheeze bag 318 2bbl too!
how about this one then?
1973 plymouth duster for sale by owner - Mount Carmel, TN - craigslist
1973 Plymouth duster 225 engine 2 owner PRICE IS FIRM ...................
That'll work. Ad ac, 4 barrel and headers and off I go
If I had the money I would buy that green clunker and drop it off at Jerry Bickle race cars, his shop isn't that far from me. And have them make a tube chassis car out of it.
It's a good conidate for a tube chassis car with a reinforced ford 9" with a custom 4 link suspension, blown 408 stroker and a air shift transmission. 8 or 10 point roll cage with a funny car cage for the driver. A friend of mine did his firebirds cage like that and it was awesome
That looks like a nice Duster.
Sure you would. Got that brown Duster bought yet?

That's not a horse, that's a pony. Don't get Dan started with this car. It's a whole new ball game with this car. A manual, yes, an 833, No. How do I install a 318 in this can or shorten an 8 3/4 rear to fit. What tires will fit without tubbing and suggested air pressure? Can the green be painted over and how much will it cost? Another 8 pages of ???????
I just saw it, takes time to make contact with the owner.
Take a deep breath, now relax and chill out

Sure.
And I don't think Dan needs a project especially a Arrow. (unless he wants to cruise at 35 mpg) Wouldn't that be cool to cruise into a Mopar show in your perfect unrestored Arrow. Hey, I might be onto something.

As much fun as it has been, you are on ignore.
Unless you buy a car and that won't happen.
Why it takes time to contact the owner.
Let me guess
Native American, you have to cut a tree down. Wait for wood to cure. Build a fire and send smoke signals.
As good as any of the other stories you gave thus far...

don't forget: weave a blanket, raise a cow as an offering, learn Portuguese, solve a rubix cube...
