The 360 giveaway!?!?!

These are options we could do, I am asking for a opinion on these 1. forged rods? 2. Forged pistons? 3. Over bore with block filler? 4. Built for horespower 5. Built for torque

Trailbst

While I won't buy a ticket since i have no need for an AMC engine, here is a suggestion. Build either for torque or horsepower, depending on who wins it and how they intend on using it. OBVIOUSLY if it's for street and strip, you want the quarter horses, and if it's for the Crawlers, you want some of those big Belgians pulling for you. My $.02 Erik

let the winner decide. each person has a preference. mine would be for the daily grind and for the usual offroad abuse.

I agree with letting the winner decide on the HP/TQ issue. But forged rods, pistions, over bore, oiling mods, etc do all of it.

Economy!!! Make it a sipper not a guzzler with a good sounding rumble :?
JUST KIDDING!!

I'm sorta with Red Dog, I would use it as a multipurpose beastie in the DD as well as off road abuse. Reliability centered with enough azz to haul a CJ/YJ around smartly on 87 octane and not need nitrus to run effectively. Like I sad in the 401 thread :smile: reliability on the trail is my goal. I would rather pull than be pulled.

Fuel injection would be nice :t:

I'm with fuzz, ballz to the wallz!! :lo1l: On a serious note, I'm mot really concerned with the octane of gas I have to use, as long as I'm not getting 8 miles to the gallon with crappy horsepower to show for it like my old 304 used to get. I could hang with a 4.0 HO up to about 45mph then I would fall behind. Oh, and if you could just go ahead and designate me the winner, that would work as well! :t: Jack

Well this time we offered the winner (mulescj8) his choice of camshaft. I think when we are talking about a build, the camshaft will be the only thing to be left open

If you leave the camshaft open, what's going to hold the pushrods in??? Tack them to the rockers :shock: :?

:badgrin: :?: :?:

I will say that i am with the rest of the guys build it for hot but all around. if you do forged pistons go 9.5 or 10:1 that way the winner can choose between a mild or wild cam and get away with it and the thing will still push some ponies :wink:

I would do the forged pistons, shot pien the rods but not forged rods. I wouldnt fill the block, that would limit the number of entries and decrease interest.

If anything making it a stroker motor wouldnt be out of the question would it????????????????????????????

Mmmmmmmmmm 360 stroker. Sounds like a wicked idea! :lo1l: I think the HP and torque should be at their max without needing premium fuel. Also, it should have a 30psi charger. And 500 shot of nitrous. Plus 5 turbos. Not only would I like two headers, I would like 6 of them at random on the motor, blowing exhaust all over the place. Top it off with a giant flame thrower and a machine gun and I am all set.

Adult? haha...didn't you read the birthday thread? 😉

i'm getting the 360! it will look awesome in the eagle :mrgreen:

gasaholic

well I guess I have some different ideas, I like the cast pistons due to having minimum piston/wall clearance and eliminating some blow by issues....also limiting compression to around 10 to 1 would help at the pump...Torque is my main objective.....
