Twin turbo: 318 or 360, and why? This are your only options. GO!

Daily (3 season) driver/WEEKEND WARRIOR! .
Quick spooling, Mild/moderate boost (8-12psi)
Reliability, not looking for peak power output; yet, but maybe a dedicated racer in the future. Just laying the ground work.

Honestly just need a strong base engine that can handle the boost.

Currently, the car has a 71 360 with 120psi in most cylinders. Less than 10%deviation between all cylinders. Motor was built about 23years ago, but sat off and on for 15 of those years. Probably only has 4( miles on the motor. I will probably go with a stroker kit since I'm rebuilding anyway, but we'll see.

I thought a 392 stroker 318 would be pretty sick as well.

I was wondering if an original 4 barrel 318 would be a better rotating assembly than a stock 71 360.

Shooting for around 500 hp with the 360?

Excuse my ignorance, what's a "6-71"?

Not mine, but a good example
