Ok with the rings

But your recommened cam xe284h seems too extreme to me. I need normal drive ability, not high rpm and rough idle.

Remember the 360 has its stock cast crank.

Other cam suggestions to match the KB190 pistons.




The cam isn't as extreme as you may think, with the extra compression, it was a torque monster, even with the 2800 stall, now this was at 3700ft. in a fully loaded bench seat 73 Swinger, i'm sure i was around 3500 lbs. with me in it, plus the Alt. was killing it but you'de never know it (13.2s on the limiter in every gear), if only i took it down to Dallas & ran it & put a 6700 chip in it (had a 6000), i'm sure there was low 12s in it, not bad for a mild SB.

I'm not sure exactly what your after performance wise, but i loved the way that 360 turned out, i even had the pistons on the tight side for better sealing (1 & 1/2 thousands), top ring was at .024", second ring at .017", never used a drop of oil & absolutly no blow-by period, never ran hot. Cast cranks are stronger then may think, if your not running a Blower or Turbo or a butt load of HP, don't worry about it!
