Thread: 360 in a hotrod

Tweet

if anybody could help me in finding parts for this motor or maybe if anyone knows if it shares parts with any other motor i'd apprectiate it deeply

i've got a 1970 Ford XL that i just put a 360 in and i want it to be fast!

your going to need more than a360, its a truck motor.why not go with a 460 if you want fast. a 360 hp/429 was opt. in 1970 and a 460 will bolt in you will have to change the transmission the 439/460 uses a different bellhouseing bolt pattern. good luck.

About the best way to make a 360 fast is to make it a 390...Use 390 rods, crank, and pistons in your block. A good set of 390 GT heads, or some aftermarket aluminum heads along with an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Cam, and Carb....Edelbrock sells the cam, carb, and intake as a package. They are designed to work together. Also you'll need a good distributor, headers, and 2 1/2" dual exhaust....

what engine do you have in the galaxie now? the only FE fords i like are the 390/401hp.(1961-2)427 and 428.most 390's are good for a land fill.i have seen a 1965 ford 2-door hdtp that was given to the student that rented a room in our house,it was solid black had xl interior buckets,center console,4-speed and a 352 w/3x2 427 type exhaust and it was real quick.this was a new car.a st.louis ford dealer was the only one that sold them i think there were only 50 made. it also had gold pin stripping with no chrome trim.real prettycar.
