I have an M1 single plane on my low compression 360 with a comp XE 268 and low end Tq is no problem even with the 2.76 suregrip and stock 318 TQ converter. Throttle response is great. Bolt your intake on and don't worry about it, you have a lot more cubes than I do.

My only concern is the top of the bore being distorted, you will be getting a lot of blow by with out a fresh bore/hone. If you really want more compression and your bores are still good then just mill the deck of the block .060 or so and use a thin head gasket and keep the original pistons with ne rings.


I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

Yea I knew the answer but it was a question in my head so I had to ask. I need to get this thing off the stand and in the car before I think it to death. The bottom end will stay original I'll put a whiplash cam in it with an edelbroch torker 440 intake ( that i already have ) a Holley 800 dp carb ( that I already have ) MSD 6 AL ( that I already have ) 1-7/8 headers and swap the mechanical fan for a Taurus fan. I have a 2000 stall converter in a new trans and a 9-1/4 with 3:55 gears. Any thought on what HP the motor will make ?


The only reason this combo would not be perfect is the diesel convertor. Gears kinda suck too. BUT,,, The torker is as good as the SD holley, and the 800 is about 6.3 times better than a 750 vs. Hard to say if you could put an rpm under the hood, which will slow you down anyway.

I have a torker I keep around to lend out , when a buddy needs one. Have to tell everyone to get their own, its not for sale..
