Eddy's makes the top notch heads for Mopar. Other than 440Source there the main people.

The 360 DID come in Challengers. My asphalt track car came stock with it when I bought it from a 79 year old man. Dont believe me, take a look... 1974 Dodge Challenger Ralley. 360 4 barrel car. Slower than a mother fucker do to no compression. But now, I wipe shit up with the high dollar crate motored chevys.

I had a old Feather Duster back in the day with the 360. That was not a car any Ford/Chevy wanted to come across (tri power or not). Only mods were a .458 cam, 3500 stall, 727 transplant, longtube headers and intake and carb swap. On those old Carlisle super slicks went low 12s. Which is those days was absolultly hauling ass.

All this talk about how slow the old cars are to the new ones is dumb. The only reason the old ones were slow was suspension and tires. How do you expect to pull good times on a 14" radial?!?!

And Hurst, I think its the other way around... The old cars were underrated (hp/tq) wise because of insurance issues. Hence why a 16 year old kid could walk into any FoMoCo/GM/Chrysler dealership and walk out and wait for his new Big block mudstain, SS Chevelle or Demon powered Duster to pull around the building for him.
