Just wondering what the pros and cons are of the 360 Magnum engines, compared to the LA 340 and 360s.

I have access to a relatively low mileage good running 360 out of a 2001 Dodge Ram.

Are these blocks considered strong enough for 500+hp or turbo applications ?

There are several people running well north of 700 hp with turbo/sc/nitrous.

I love Magnums. Not only for improved oil sealing at the pan and valve covers, but because swapping older Mopars over to EFI is virtually plug and play.

I have since built a 408" stroker version that puts out something like 500+hp.
