Hi all, 318 in my 2wd 84 d-150 took a dump, so I put together this.
73 360
.30 over h405cp pistons,
.026 head gaskets, 9-1 compression
Un-cracked magnum heads, some port work!!!
crane energizer 272 (old school cam) specs are
216 at .050 in and exhaust 110lc .484 lift with 1.6 rockers
RPM air-gap, summit 750 vac-sec carb
1 5/8 long tube headers, 2.5" y pipe, into a single 3"exhaust.
Rebuilt 904 non lock up, with 2300 to 2500 stall
3.55 gears. Thinking it will make for a peppy engine, that doesn't kill fuel economy. So Im thinking 300 to 325 hp and maybe 400ftlb. So Think this is a fair estimate. It be even better if It would break into the 14s!

I built a 360 many years ago that used the same Crane cam,j heads(home ported),RPM intake,headers,904 lockup trans,stock slant six converter,gearing was3.23 ish. I installed it in an 87 Dodge 150 2wd long bed for a daily driver(4000lbs? with me). Got great mileage and drove very nice with enough grunt to smoke the tires from 40MPH rolls. It ran 14.20's smoking street tires @100-102mph without tuning . It ran better with smaller carbs than the 750 holley.It was done @5200rpm so it's not hp build but for a truck its not bad. I think you'll be ok with that combo. Put the same engine in my Duster ran low 12's @110mph shifting @ 5200rpm.
