I say, go for it!
How much does an a body go for over there?Nah, rat rods are not my thing I want to find it a nice duster or dart suit, or if that fails I could stretch into a b body....
a T bucket or any similar style car would not be considered street legal in Sweden with that engine...
This one goes for like $3,550
The only other abodies are some 4 door variants in ok shape for like $7,000-15,000 or some hatchbacks from $30,000.
But actual good project abodies are hard to find..

Is there a recipe for 500ft of Torque rather early but being a complete Tow Truck...
I’d be interested in both stock and stroker recipes
Only that which you see in the pictures so I don’t think it’s that good a deal
I thought the jeep 5.9 had the starters on the passenger side, so there may be a difference in the blocks.
I would do a little more homework on this.
Would 383 do it or is 408 the only size that's even close?500 tq from a 360 ? best to stroke it if you want something you can drive everyday and have it last
The junkyard website has the following number noted down as “manufacturer code”
300-08159 If that means anything, the engine was pulled from a Grand Cherokee Limited and is the original engine for the car. I will get new up to date pictures of the engine lifted from the body.
Would 383 do it or is 408 the only size that's even close?
What are the reasonable max rpms of the stock 360, a 383 and 408 stroker?
Well we'll see how the stock heads look, I have no idea what kind of heads are available here in Sweden apart from aftermarket alu heads from trickflow and edelbrock, but there is much work to get done before the build part takes place .Starter is on the driver side on my jeep 5.9l
hp per cid and rpm
1 hp per cid is kind of the middle ground of performance engines compromise between mild to wild something like a 224 cam airgap 650/750 carb 9:1 cr and headers with a powerband 1000-5000 rpm and a 5500 rpm ish redline with mild stall and 3.23-3.91 gears. Under that more like a truck powerband stock gear and stall and over that goes towards streetstrip to full race engines. eg. 1.25 hp per cid is a healthy street strip type engine with aftermarket heads 235-245 cam airgap/single plane intake 750 plus carb 10-11:1 cr 3000-4500 stall 4.10-4.56 gears etc.. 2500-6000 rpm powerband 6500-7000 ish redline.
Heads are gonna be the main deciding factor of how much power you can make.
X2 only the parts on the outside are hurt.Get it. Everything that matters is inside and made of steel. I don't think it got hot enough to affect the heads or block. The distributor cap isn't melted.
.
I own 0 inch based tools
what size sockets and normal wrenches do I need in order to take the 360 apart and put it back again?
Disregarding special tools for pulling thing off, that I could probably borrow, as well as getting help with measuring journals and such.
