Some great replies. Like I said I'm going to be getting a running 360 Magnum motor. My main thing will be figuring out what parts I'm going to go with and shop around for the best prices. I'll probably go with what my dads current setup is, but not go through the machine shop for parts. The Magnum motor that I'm looking to purchase is from a van and the price is $800. Which seems to be a little high, should I offer less?




Very high, we just bought a 94 1 ton van in good condition for 500 bucks, the diff is very noisey, 360 motor and OD trans are great.
On the 360, new pistons are a must, compression needs to come up, big cams make it even worse. My son just built a 360 and didn't buy pistons because he's building another short block with a stroker kit. Car is only good for high 13's in it's current state, more compression would have been a big plus.
