Stock crank?Not a dang thing wrong with a 360. Punched out .030 it is now a 6.0 Ltr. There are a few fellas here running mid to low 10’s on 360’s.

BadassI have been running the scat cast crank with thier h beam rods for well over 50,000 miles and probably 700 runs at a hp level of about 400 hp at the rear wheels. Pulled it apart to change pistons. The crank was still straight and went right back in. The rods ends were round and spot on. I wouldn’t hestitate to run the scat cast crank kit with h beam rods up to about 500hp. The eagle cast crank won’t work at that level. As to the longevity of the block I was running the icon forged dished piston and changed to the flat top for compression. The bores were still round and straight when changing pistons.
Honestly not sure. I’d be pretty happy with 300 horse. But Is it ever enough?What kind of power level are you targeting?
I've had also great results with a cast scat crank and I beam rods that are lighter and you're not supposed to have to Notch the bottom of the block for them to clear. Even though my block is notched. I think you'd have to race professionally to really need forged parts. I did use forged pistons though. I still use stock heads and still have plenty of time and areas to add more power up top without having to remove the engine again.I have been running the scat cast crank with thier h beam rods for well over 50,000 miles and probably 700 runs at a hp level of about 400 hp at the rear wheels.

I’m thinking stock crank flattops with good rods and magnum heads.I've had also great results with a cast scat crank and I beam rods that are lighter and you're not supposed to have to Notch the bottom of the block for them to clear.

you can take the stock 360 and put some Edelbrock heads and a big Cam and get close to what a stroker does. but you would have to wind it up to make that power when you're on the street having the stroker is just instant low end tire burning right from the get-go.
I don’t think so. I’m not 100% sure.Stock crank?
No, never, it’s a drug, you have been warned.... danger, HP junkies abound...Honestly not sure. I’d be pretty happy with 300 horse. But Is it ever enough?
Yeah it's fun cuz you can go in any direction. I've been thinking lately had I just got some Magnum Edelbrock heads intake and carburetor and just kept slapping them on 360 junkyard Magnum Motors I probably would have been doing just fine. There's a lot of different things you can do I do like the Stroker. It is fun building a kind of strong bottom end then you can just beat on it at will and know that it will never Flow enough to really hurt itself.I’m thinking stock crank flattops with good rods and magnum heads.
I don't know I think there's a lot to be gained by the Magnum heads but also the extra expense and extra experience you'll need retrofitting them to the LA block. Plus the special manifold.I’m thinking stock crank flattops with good rods and magnum heads.
The horsepower is not as important with a stroker. It's the low rpm torque that can blaze the tires at will that the stroker does for you.Honestly not sure. I’d be pretty happy with 300 horse. But Is it ever enough?
I played the video Once upon anoth thread but I could give the guy a hit, but I'm afraid he may overdose on it ???!! LOLNo, never, it’s a drug, you have been warned.... danger, HP junkies abound...

This guy is a little nuts but he's having fun. Looks like it's pretty easy to boil those hides!

#8---La-X and Ma-X Iron Small Block Heads These heads are the heads I want. A guy I know has some and wants $600. Those ones actually bolt on. He has then on a 318 in his 66 dattI don't know I think there's a lot to be gained by the Magnum heads but also the extra expense and extra experience you'll need retrofitting them to the LA block.

Yes it is most definitely "tire burning power" . At 35 MPH if I just quickly stab the pedal about 1/4 of the way the BFGs are breaking loose. I NEED sticky tires and maybe Caltracs (running super stocks right now). It's still a lot of fun on the street, the way it pulls is addicting.I've had also great results with a cast scat crank and I beam rods that are lighter and you're not supposed to have to Notch the bottom of the block for them to clear.

You won't need a 408 for 300 hp.Honestly not sure. I’d be pretty happy with 300 horse. But Is it ever enough?

Badass pictures! What rods and pistons do you run?View attachment 1715257131 View attachment 1715257132
Stock crank .030 over 360 will easily get you in the power range you are looking for, plus some. This one runs 6.54 which is z10.20-10.30’s in the 1/4.
Seems pretty nice.For the money I'm looking real hard at this. Not relevant if you have a block. Just sayin.......
