build a 360! & stroker cranks are dirt cheap now (Hughes has em on sale). I'm doing one & I might be able to mill the OE cast 360 pistons. just need to mockup & see where I'm at & a cometic custom thick gasket is an option around this also if it comes to that & if not, stroker pistons ain't that costly. After you feel that power the numbers matching 318 sitting in your garage will be the last thing on your mind.
Robert, Much like the OP I have learned a lot with this thread. But I am now confused. On a theoretical build
360 engine - 0.030 over block, kb-190 pistons, .480/.480 cam, J heads with 2.02 and 1.6, torker intake and a 750 holley. complete MSD ignition, coil, wires, 6A unit. With the KB-190 at 10:1, how close will the Jheads put the compression at that actual number? Let's say standard 904 tranny and 3.23s in the rear, standard stall. Will the car be quick?
