So here is the story http://imgur.com/a/myT64,
I had it posted a couple other places looking for advice so I figured I could just link you all to the original I wrote. Here's a list of parts that came with it.
One Edlebrock Carb 1406
One Holley Carb 80555
Edlebrock Performer intake manifold 3776
Edlebrock Performer-Plus 2177 Cam and lifters
Are any of those worth putting on? I would love to find an original ThermoQuad 800 cfm to put in it, but I have yet to find one that isn't $400 on ebay. I would rather find a cheap dirty one and rebuild it myself. That intake I have is not the Performer RPM model which is what I have heard is the preferred intake manifold to use on the 360.
The Torque converter seems to stall around 2500 RPM, I would like to find a lower stall, 1800-2200 one, but not sure where to look.
My friend and I would like to build this Little 360 up a bit, we want to do a pretty high horsepower Grand Touring style build. The truck is a driver's truck. It feels so good on the road, with the IFS in the front, it handles so well and is incredibly stable even when the tires are broken loose and at high speeds. I have access to a 14 bolt rear end I am thinking about tossing under him just to be sure it can take anything I will throw at it. It currently has a 8.25" under it and I don't think that that will cut it once we get the power increase the way we want it.
If I am better off posting in a different sub-forum for this kind of info, please let me know, I am more than happy to do that if it doesnt belong here. I know it is a "Ford" but trust me its all mopar other than the sheet metal and wooden bed. And maybe steering column, I have no idea where that came from.
Thanks for y'alls time,
Tye
