Can someone tell me if its just my imagination...Im tuning the stock 360 in my 72 Fury Wagon(HUGE CAR) and the more and more I do,the more and more spirited this engine is getting.

I mean,I cant believe just how well this Small Block motivates this big car,even with just a 2 barrel.Its also a quick revving engine,or is that my imagination too? Ive never owned anything with a 360,only a 318. Is it my imagination or is this a stout little engine,even in stock form.

Please,someone educate me about this engine,as I always thought 360's were just a "truck motor" Is there more to it than that?
