This one started out life in a 76 RV. Got it 15 years ago when I turned 18. Put a Mopar purple cam in it and headers and ran it that way for probably 5 years and had a ton of fun. It’s on build #3 and a little different now. You got a good price.

You did well. LA 360's rarely, if ever come up for sale in my neck of the woods. I used to trip over them for $50 all the time, but those days are gone!

That's a good deal. Any idea of how many miles are on it?
What are your plans for it?
What are your plans for it?
There was 89k on it, I'm going to change the timing chain set, pull the valve covers and go from there. I am also going to have to change the pan So when I pull it that should tell me a lot. I'd like to just do a cam and the intake manifold and run it for now.
Best part is it was on marketplace 15 minutes from my house, I really wanted a 5.9 magnum but couldn't find one. So now I'll probably have an eddlebrock magnum intake manifold for sale still in the box
I'm hoping I can keep stock heads for a bit, hoping a timing gear set. Cam, 4 barrel intake and headers and run it like that for a bit. Time will tell when I pull the oil pan and see what the bottom end looks like. I may pull the heads as well and really inspect.
Hoping just a 4 barrel intake, timing chain set, and cam for now but we'll see when I pull the oil pan how the bottom end looks. I may pull the heads too and see if they are worth using.
That looks really good!!
You suck and now you're comin on here to rub it in. Just go away. LOL
Did you use a bandana and a six shooter? You did GREAT!

I would for 100 percent sure change the freeze plugs and valve stem seals also.

You'll know when you take it apart.
Do you think I should pull the heads or just pull the valve covers and see how they look from the top and if the bottom end looks good replace the springs, cam timing chain and run it. If the bottom end looks good and not like a disco party

Depends on what you're trying to do with it. Are you willing to give it shot as-is, or do you want to ensure it'll run well?
If you want to keep it budget friendly, I'd probably pull it apart, toss some new rings and bearings in it (after a good inspection and dingleball hone), new timing set, inspect the oil pump, lap the valves and check the valve springs, check the cam and lifters, reassemble and fire it up. Just basic rebuild stuff really. Just my opinion of course.
