What about the 360?
By Al - 02/01/2001 2:32:00 AM; IP 152.163.213.63
Are any of you guys runnin 360's? I always here people talkin about dumping their 360 crank and rods and going for a 390 or sizeing it up some how. I've got a STOCK 360( except for the Peritronix ignition) with a 2bbrl and cast iron exhaust manifolds and over 60K miles on it in my '69 F100 Ranger and it is a BAD BOY. No matter how well it runs ( smooth and solid at a consistent 14.2 MPG) or how much smoke I put in the air from ballin the tires, people are always tellin me to dump it for a bigger engine. Why are so many people down on this smaller FE? Think about it. It makes over 300 foot pounds of torque stock. Torque is what you want on the street and the 360 has it! So whats the deal? Any of you had the same kind of experience with your smaller FE's?
This thread, so far...
