for a cruiser, a magnum 318 will have more than enough power (about the same as an LA360) but significantly better fuel economy. and magnum 318's are a lot easier and cheaper to find than 360 magnums.




"enough power" is highly subjective; "enough" for you might be nowhere near enough for someone else. In any case, all things being equal (LA318 to LA360 or magnum 318 to magnum 360) the additional 42 cubes is noticable and yes, I've had both.

If a magnum 318 isn't "enough" power for your drive, IMO the mag 360 won't be either. There is a difference in power, but not that dramatic. We're not talking 100hp/torq increase.




now it's a definition of "dramatic"! yep, you're right, only 10-15%. whether that's "a little", "a lot", "noticable", "worthwhile" or "dramatic" depends on your perspective.

I'm just saying that everything else being equal, I'll go with the 360 over a 318 just like I'll take a 440 over a 383.

None of those are particularly expensive or hard to come by.
