It's never fast enough... John Force thinks his car could be faster.
A 360 isn't neck-snapping, but it's plenty of fun. Mine scoots around nicely, albeit a bit of a slug off the line due to my stock rear gear, but it cruises at 85 all day and rolls to triple digits effortlessly when I have it spooled up in the right RPM range.

 install it and run it improve it later  3.91s are gonna do good for the weight out the hole and the 360 sounds like a good street engine someone always got another opinion on what someone else needs run what you brung

i have a gen-u-whine 74 360/4-speed road runner. don't let anybody fool you
into believing yours will be slow. this thing did 14.20's @ 98mph. STOCK with

i had a 73 satellite with a 360,it was only a 8.00 car in the 1/8 but the motor had no problem pulling the car,it ran 15 years before it had to be tore down,longer than anyone expected it would.

Funny, me and a friend were discussing this very thing the other day. I'll tell you right away that I've been thinking of a big block and I won't lie about that. I haven't been ashamed all this time though to have run a 360 in my 68' Charger. I just want more, and I also want bragging rights of a big block in my Charger.
All along though, alot of people have asked me why in the world my B-body has a small block????!!!! My first answer is simply: that "well it had a small block from the factory" which was in fact a 318 2bbl with a 904 and 2.76 open 8 3/4 rear.
At the time, I wanted to keep it simple and keep my current tranny, current driveshaft, etc, and not even worry about new mounts or anything, except to externally balance a new convertor and then bolt in my 360 and GO!
My mild 360 with around 400 horse and now 4.30 SG runs 13.999 at Bristol and the altitude at that track adds a about a half a second to EVERYONE'S quarter mile times. Plus I floated the valves a couple of times when I didn't shift it in time (all excited my first time out on the track)!!!
After reading this post I might just keep the ole' 360 in there for a while now and save some money for now. PLUS: It just runs really good and super friendly on the street. Hope this helps. Good Luck in whatever you decide.....
BTW, I've had my 360 in the car since 99. 10 years of fun small block driving in my "big heavy car".....

I don't know what it is with the big block bitterness... most people give a disappointed "oh.." when I say 360. If it was an Impala with a 350 that'd be okay, right?
I even had one guy at the gas station as I was sitting there idling... the car has a nice lope to it.. he gets out of his truck and starts walking over and goes "Man! is that a 440?" and I go no a 360 that I had built, and before I can even finish my sentence, he turns on his heel, not missing a step, gets right in his Dodge pickup and drives off without looking at me. [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean]??
I dunno... The 360 swap from a 318 was straight forward and easy, and a big improvement in performance. It goes pretty good and I've driven it from one coast to the other twice... pulling a trailer. Works for me...

440 is just easy HP,my 383 is pushing somewhere round 450 to 500 hp,but the heads fit right on a 440,which with the stroke of a 440 should increase the horsepower,my intentions were to get a 440 bottom end and bold my heads and intake on it

Ran a comfortable 70-75 most of the way, except for the higher elevations where I ran out of air. It lugged a bit up big hills.

well back when I turned 16,my mom gave me an ex highway patrol car 71 FuryI 4-door with a SB 360/727 with a 150 speedo cant get bigger than that  it was slow out the hole but from 55 to 130 it was a beast and I out ran a lot of BB on the 5 mile run.. a sb will just need a diff set up to do the same thing a BB does IMHO example...a 318 does what a 360 will do with a lower gear 360 with a 3.23 a 318 with 3.91 360 with a 3.91 318 with a 4.30 torque rules and HP is nothing with out it a 360 got torque a 318 does not dont let them bother you Boss ride is the man for useing his as a daily driver and seems to be doing just fine..nice burn out pics by the way trust me..I have done more with less than most do with more it needs to be a well thought out combo and you need to build it to do what you plan on doing a race engine is for race a street engine is just that..works best in the traffic my combo 360 headed 318 cop engine never been apart 600 carb LD4B intake headers duel 2.5 pipes lunati 60710 roller cam 258/264 207/213 .485/.485 A999 stock /6 high stall lock up tc 8 3/4 with 3.23 sg 85 stepside truck knocks down 18-19 mpgs and merges with attude,runs trip didgets on highway drop some top end with 3.91sg but its out the hole faster 80 miles a day for a daily driver I get asked all the time is that a 360? be surprized what a SB will duz when you buzz the rpms up some I run what I brung its not a race truck,so I will see you on the street in traffic,buzz a race engine at 4800 rpms for 30 mins and see if it needs oil in the next town

The holley street dominator is a good low RPM manifold NOT a high RPM piece at all. The runners are very small and long and the plenum is not real big either.
My experience with this combination in this car (street hemi grind cam, Street Dominator, and Holley DP650 mech secondaries) has been the opposite. It has difficulty in the lower RPMS and pulls like gangbusters from about 2500 to 2800 all the way through 5500. The Street Dominator does have small runners. Definitely smaller than the ports on the 360 heads. The plenum is short although sized for a spread bore carb. It is a fairly open though short plenum. In my experience the smaller primary side got fairly well fuel washed while the secondary side tended to accumulate some carbon. Perhaps I never got it jetted/adjusted correctly. As I said earlier it was an old school build. I believe there are better cam, intake, and carb combinations available now.

Mine was built without a lot of radical compression, 9 or just under, I think, and if I remember correctly my cam is a few notches above an RV grind. I told him what it was going in and what I wanted to use it for... long distance driving, some light towing, etc...
I believe this is what I got, and it was an Elgin cam:
936P
Intake, exhaust lift: .443/.465
280/290-advertised duration
Intake and exhaust duration @ 50: 214/224
61º overlap
107º lobe center
Stock valves, a good valve job and adjustable pushrods.
In my car, it takes a minute to wake up with the tall rear gear, but it roars pretty good when spooled up.

holley street dom and a q-jet with the 2nd dary spring tighten up will get rid of the bog I ran one with good results and no bog all in how you tune it IMHO I have run the SD on some stock 318 and never had a prob with it boging its for a 2-v to 4- swap from the get go,so holley said,70 HP with a 2-v cam I think it will be the best bang for the buck with a stock 2-v cam..I know mine was with a low CR high lift and short dur are a big plus.. plenty of newer cams out there just for the lopo engines sucxh as a hughes whiplash early intake close for building cyl pressure not starting a pizzing match,but all I have every run is close to stock used junk,tuned right to get the most out of it does it out run every thing?..no does it surprize some when it does? most deffenetly runwhatyoubrung  I am in to the fun of it..dont care if its slow as long as it showboats

I am by no means an expert on engines, but it seems to me that engineers put these engines in larger vehicles (like full size, extended cab, long bed pickups) and do not worry about it. I myself have chosen the magnum over the older 360, for reason of newer metal, less abuse, and newer technology (ie. roller lifters, etc.). Since the technology of the 60's and 70's helped pave the way for today's newer technologies, why not use it to your advantage. With the exception of the torque output of big block engines, small block engines can move a proportionately ratioed mass the same way. Also, power adder technology has moved from the racing circuits into main stream enthusiasts, which is lighter and tuneable (unfortunately more things to break eventually).
I don't even have 1/2 lift, but the other 1/2 is nitroused.

A dakota r/t is a 360, weighs like 4500ish lbs from the factory, but has no problems breaking both tires loose from a stop and was very fun to drive on the street. There are people with these heavy trucks running high 12s and low 13s with relatively mild combos since they need to be friendly with the EFI. Much easier to do with a carbed car since you dont have to worry about the computer liking it. A similar combo in your car will make it haul ass. And you;re damned right it'll do some great burnouts (both tires) without the brakes. invest in a set of decent heads/porting and pick the right cam/stall, and you can make great power with a 360 no doubt. And for pretty cheap.

I threw a 360 together and put in a 73 Dart that I tore up the 340 in. It was a basic 360, a set of iron heads, a comp 292 shelf cam, KB shelf pistons, 904 trans with a 4.10 rear gear. The dart is lighter that your car but it ran 11.70's in the 1/4 mile and ran for years, pump gas motor. Dont let someone talk ya into thinking that the 360's are junk. They are alot of fun and will push that B body just fine. Put it in and drive the wheels off. If ya feel that its too slow for ya, put a little squeeze on it and watch it go....
76' Volare, 5.9 magnum w/Iron heads. New best 10.68 at 123 mph 1/4 mile.

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.

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...

Man..360's are awesome. You can do so much with them..People are under the impression that if it's not a 340 that it wont run. Pure bull.... I been told to use a 440 in my '70 Charger, but I always run into small block parts; so that's what I end up doing. I may go with the 408 combo however  that way I can tell them it's just a 318. Yes, with a small block you have that sleeper factor. My '74 roadrunner is aiming to get a mild 360 on the squeeze  A small block built with the right pieces will destroy a big block IF you know what you are doing

Because I needed to get my car running before you sent me your dizzy to recurve, I marked it, pulled the distributor out, put a spare lean burn one in to keep stuff from falling in, and then put it back when I did the recurve of yours. I thought I kept the rotor orientation the same for the 2 R&R's, but I could have put it in 180 out.
and check the basics, make sure you're getting spark/fuel.

Well make sure you got power to the hot side of the coil. If you have points then make sure that they're gapped correctly and hooked up right with the condensor, and hooked to the correct side of the coil (negative). If you're running a Chrysler electronic setup MAKE SURE the box is grounded to something wherever you mounted it.
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat

coil, ballast resistor, ECU, ground for the ballast and ground for the ECU. wiring between the components, there's the odd chance the pickup in the distributor went bad, but I doubt it, since I was running that distributor until I got the other recurved....

Crane Retrofit Roller cam - 112 c-line, 107 intake inst., 230/238 @ .050, 0.528/0.548 lift
MSD Ignition, Distributor, Coil, Wires
