RE: 360 mods |

According to my '68 Ford truck shop manual, the 360 used in the F100/F250 had 2.02 intake valves and1.55 exhaust valves. They had .427 lift on the intake and .430 on the exhaust side. They used a variable duration cam with 256 degrees on the intake and 266 on the exhaust.. The book says this combo makes 215hp@4400 and 327ft-lbs@2600. My DesktopDyno 2000 says that should make 228hp@4500 and 328ft-lbs@3000. Now using the same program, we add your combo. We take the dual plane intake, 600 cfm carb, stock heads and mild cam (268 duration, . 494 lift). This gets you 250hp@4500 and 329ft-lbs@3000. Add headers to this combo and you get 285hp@4500 and 364ft-lbs@3500. That's 57hp 36ft-lbs over stock numbers. And if you haven't done it yet, get rid of the points and get you a Pertronix electronic ignition. It is money well spent and they are simpler than points to install. Plus they are worth at least another 500rpm on the top end |
