Yes 360's were all cast crank engines. Runnin 74 thanks for the input it is appreciated. Problem is I do not have an original car so the build sheet for this particular vehicle that I own would not be if much help. I am putting a 74 SE together with a 360 and am trying to build the car like a car that could have been ordered. Unfortunately there is not a lot of info when it comes to 73-74 b-bodies. This is why I threw this subject out there to learn what I can. I have two 71's and there is plenty of info on them, but even though the two years are "similar" in appearance there are a lot of unseen differences.
