So Im building me a bit of a rat gasser out of my '64 dart 2dr post. Im trying to keep it fairly period correct, the period being the early '70s.
Well Ive have a 1970 casting date 360 that was rebuilt not to many miles ago. The rebuild consisted of a .040''-.060'' overbore, new pistons with a compression in the 9:1-9.5:1 range, new rings, bearings etc.. The heads are '73 360 heads (587s)that have been completely redone with new everything! Not sure on valve size, I need to check. Cam wise its got a small Comp in it. Eddie Performer intake too.
A '68 833 4spd is going behind the 360, and Ive already got a built up 8.25'' with a 3.55 and a Sure Grip to go in the back.
The question is, if it was 1972 and you wanted to build a hotrod 360 to go drag racing and play on the street, how would you build it?
