Nice, What exact heads did you buy if you don't mind me asking? and how much where they? And what all did you spend your money on when you rebuilt the engine and did you rebuild it yourself or have someone else do it?

I figured I would give you guys a picture of the truck that I plan to put the 360 into whilst I wait to pickup the motor


Notice the brand new paint job, took two months to complete. The color is Brilliant Black by Chrysler.

I put on new Odessa Clearwater heads, stock size. Ran me $650 off their eBay page. I bought the engine from a JY for $350. I can't remember the machine shop price for boring the block and cleaning it. The master rebuild kit with fel pro gaskets, moly rings, and I can't remember everything else lol I went with a stock cam tho, in the long run I should've went with a different cam. I rebuilt the motor myself in auto class in high school.

Can you link me the Master Rebuild kit that you used? And why do you wish you would have went with a different cam?

Give me some time and I'll send you the website for the kit. I wanted to go for an rv cam in my truck but at the time it was $250 more for a new cam and I'm not sure if I had to change valve springs and stuff but I didn't wanna spend all the money I had. That's why.
