How much does a '72 Satellite weigh anyway? My supposedly 'light' '73 A-body weighs 3,500 pounds with me in it. I can't see a Satellite weighing that much more.
A 340 small block propels my fat Duster just fine.
the motor is a runner out of my 5th ave, which w/o me is 3950 lbs....granted I sold it to him without the eddie RPM air gap and eddie 600, and IIRC he's got a performer and I think either a 600 carter AFB or 600 holley....
with a MP166k converter and 3.55's, it would light up the tires of my boat (255/50R17's) and keep up with a stock LX 300 hemiC AWD from a roll....
just get the dang thing in and running already!

4 dr, 4spd, 323" 3.23 geared, A body has the 340 hp cam .429/.444" and shaved 1.88/1.60" 318 heads, s
14 mpg city/15 highway.
Only way that a 318 had those heads is if someone put them on or the engine was a 318 4 barrel engine which used the 360 heads. Other wise they are 340/360 heads not std. 318 heads.

i know i know ive asked before. but i got a 360 im ready to put in my 72 roadrunner/satellite and i keep getting told "oh that car is way to heavy for that baby engine" or that thing wont be fast enough"
HONESTLY ANY ONES INPUT WANTED.
The best input I can think of is...if you like small blocks and have a budget/goal of what you can afford and want to do, go for it.
Do what you want and screw the unsolicited opinions of others.

I would have laid the headers in the engine bay before install.
I doubt it'll be much of an issue. I put the headers in my 74 after dropping in the 440, just pulled up on the motor a bit with the engine jack and they slid right in. With a little 360 he will have a lot more room to spare.

stuffing that bad boy in. do you guys think i can get headers in from under?
when I put it in my 5th, I put the headers in first, held them up and out of the way with bungee cords, then dropped the engine in......of course, I also but the tranny in after the motor was in....

if you haven't touched the distributor since you picked it up from me, make sure I didn't accidentally put in in 180 degrees out...
