well back when I turned 16,my mom gave me an ex highway patrol car 71 FuryI 4-door with a SB 360/727 with a 150 speedo

cant get bigger than that

it was slow out the hole but from 55 to 130 it was a beast and I out ran a lot of BB on the 5 mile run..

a sb will just need a diff set up to do the same thing a BB does IMHO

example...a 318 does what a 360 will do with a lower gear

360 with a 3.23 a 318 with 3.91

360 with a 3.91 318 with a 4.30

torque rules and HP is nothing with out it

a 360 got torque a 318 does not

dont let them bother you

Boss ride is the man for useing his as a daily driver and seems to be doing just fine..nice burn out pics by the way

trust me..I have done more with less than most do with more

it needs to be a well thought out combo and you need to build it to do what you plan on doing

a race engine is for race a street engine is just that..works best in the traffic

my combo

360 headed 318 cop engine never been apart
600 carb
LD4B intake
headers duel 2.5 pipes
lunati 60710 roller cam
258/264
207/213
.485/.485
A999 stock /6 high stall lock up tc
8 3/4 with 3.23 sg
85 stepside truck
knocks down 18-19 mpgs and merges with attude,runs trip didgets on highway

drop some top end with 3.91sg but its out the hole faster

80 miles a day for a daily driver

I get asked all the time is that a 360?

be surprized what a SB will duz when you buzz the rpms up some

I run what I brung

its not a race truck,so I will see you on the street in traffic,buzz a race engine at 4800 rpms for 30 mins and see if it needs oil in the next town
