So I picked up a '75 360, complete from carb to oil pan, with an A904 stuck to the back of it for $100. Engine spins but supposedly has a spun rod bearing. No big deal since I was planning a rebuild anyway. But atleast with only $100 in it so far, I may actually be able to afford some decent internals for it!

And worse case scenario, if the block is bad, I have all the parts I need to convert my 318 to carb, but that's definitely a plan B.

 

sounds like fun! good luck
