Looking to start collecting parts for my 360 build. I'm not looking to make a ton of hp but I want the car to get down the track. The only things I want out of the motor are: must run on pump gas, hyd. flat tappet cam only, Iron heads, no strokers and no $500 pistons. I want to make a reliable 400hp. I have 3.55 and a 5.38 geared center sections to work with and the trans will be built with all CRT parts...

KB107 pistons, stock magnum heads (or the enginequest 318B's hughes has on their website for $699/pr assembled with springs good to .540" lift), stock magnum rockers, headers, eddie RPM air gap, 750-800cfm carb, headers, and a comp magnum 280H will make that much power

I'll sit down later and post my build it's exactly what you are asking for. Just finished it up about 2 weeks ago. Hopefully I will be healed up enough in about a week to start putting it in .I had surgery about a wk and a half ago.

I second Patrick's combo. The only thing that I had any different was an Edelbrock Performer Rpm cam and went 12.0 @ 114.

What he said...you'd probably exceed your 400 HP goal.

There are many hydraulic grinds out there that can get to your power goals and then some. Match one the the compression ratio, converter and gears and off ya go!

I'll add a couple of things about those Iron Ram heads. First, we have a pair of EQ's we're going to play with on the flow bench. (Although we got them "as cast" rather than prepped from Hughes). We popped in a 2.02 intake to compare with a pair of 2.02 RHS/Indy heads we were doing at the same time. Interesting to note, they showed slightly better flow than the RHS's below .550" lift.

The other cool thing, for a low dollar street/stripper are the Magnum rockers: Keeping a lid on lift (you can only go about .530 without trimming the guides anyway) and spring pressures the OEM 1.6 rockers will suffice well. Further, if you do want to increase lift on the cheap? V10 (truck) rockers are 1.7 and are a direct bolt on!

Keep us posted on what happens will ya?

So I would be able to run a .508 cam with no machine work to the heads? If I can do that I'll just stick with the magnums. I have a buddy that has a set of stockers for $100...

remember, the mags have 1.6 rockers, which make the .508 into .541" lift. with my OEM magnums, using 2.2L retainers and hughes #1110 springs with the magnum keepers, I had about .510" of available lift before I began getting too close for comfort to coil bind and seal to keeper interference. when I had the valve job done, I had the valves sunk about .030" to get a little more clearance. I'm running .506" calculated lift with mine. a comp magnum 280H will be a calculated .512" lift with the mag rockers, and will have lift/duration specs pretty close to the 380HP crate motor's roller cam.

Yes, but you'd have to trim the guides. Although it's been published at .530 max lift, I'd use .520 for an extra margin of safety.

Rock Auto will sell you BRAND NEW stock rockers for less than $11.00 per PAIR, with the trunon (sp?) stands and bolts = less than $88 for all 16. Check it out.

My 360 started as a .040 over Napa rebuilt short block. I took it apart to check everything. I had the block decked (deck .015 head, 63cc., gasket .028, compression 10.51)reversed the cast dished pistons on the rods and put in good rod bolts and had the rods resized. I put in an old Manley cam that I had. 443 lift [Email]224@.050[/Email] I don't remember the lobe seperation but I think it was around 108. I used J heads pocket ported with 2.02 int. valves and 273 adj. rockers an LD340 intake with a 1" 4 hole spacer and a Vac. 750. For exhaust I used heddmen 1 5/8" headers, 3" exhaust with ultra flows ending at the axel. I used a 904 with a Dayco 2,400 stall converter and an 8 3/4 with 3.91's the slicks were 8"x 26"x 14". Suspension consisted of 6yl. bars and comp. eng. adj. shocks in the front and 002/003 superstock springs with Mopar perf. 50/50 xtra long shock in the rear. The car was a 70 Valiant 4 door it weighed 3,320 with me in it. With an electric water pump drive, 5/16" fuel line with holley mech. fuel pump and a homemade fresh air intake (dryer hose and a dual snorkle air cleaner)the best run was 11.96/113 but it typically went 0's and teen's in decent air at Atco and E-Town. Typical 60'was low 1.70's

Good combo JC put a better converter in and the ETs will really drop. Years ago I had an old 318 in my car while my 340 was being freshened, nothing special just 360 heads it ran 13.20s with 3.91s and a junk 10 inch converter, I put in one of my T/A 8 inchers and started going 12.70s. BTW my old backup motor before I broke it: 30 over 340, 9 to 1 comp with ported J heads and 557 lift M/P cam went 11.30s in my combo.

Thank's 11sec. That combo is in a 70 Duster now but with a 727 a 10" Dynamic conv. 3,200 stall, clutch fan, no fresh air and it's 90 lbs. heavier but still the same 360 that's been together since 96. Best it's gone so far is 12.71 on the brakes (semi's in Pro last year Mopars @ E-town). Unfortunately it has slowed down since then due to 2 cam lobes on there way to going round. So now it's time for a freshen up. No racing at the Mopars this year!
