I bought a used mid 1970's Dodge 360 complete with "RV" cam for cheap a couple months ago. Disassembled it and dropped off the block at a local speed shop this morning. My thoughts are to build a 408ci stroker. Hopefully everything goes smoothly. I'm planning on having the speed shop do all the machining and balancing and I'll do the final assembly myself. Haven't done it before but I'd like to learn.
Still can't decide on a transmission. I've had two TKO's come up for sale but this being a Mopar complicated the issue and both fell through. Now there's the new RS600 and there is another mopar specific 5 speed coming out. So hopefully those are released and get good reviews in the next couple months so I can pick one to go with the new engine.
Here are three crappy pictures, first of the engine, second is of a friend of mine with a Camaro dirt dragster I saw down in Loreto, Baja Mexico and the third is of my dream car if I lived in that town. Are bad pictures better than no pictures? I was in Loreto during the SCORE Baja 1000 back in November... I just wanted to add more pictures than just the engine. haha
