I am thinking that after 70k + miles, and having oil consumption going up, and perhaps a weak cylinder, it is time to look at the E58 360 in my 74 Duster360. It is the original engine, rebuilt 70k+ miles ago, can't recall what went into it, pretty much all stock.

I love to drive this car, long distance, etc . . . so, do you guys think another stock rebuild would be the way to go ?? Or get a 5.9 magnum and rebuild it (maybe even stroked ??) . . . I do like the "go", but also like having a smooth idle and some sort of mpg ! Would also like to keep the exhaust I have on the car - factory manifolds, right side the the Y style off a 340 and left is the 360 factory manifold. Stock 727 and 8.25 rear (still has the 2.45:1 gears - even the tired 360 cranks the tires over !!! And pulls 22mpg at 70mph) . . . . .

Just interested to see what is happening out there these days, and what your thoughts would be. . .

Thanks,

Mark
