Re: 1962 Plymouth - 361 or 360?

[Gary Pavlovich <glpavlovich@xxxxxxx>]

Knud-Erik,

My opinion/suggestion is to build the 360 if you want Horsepower/Torque, 
reliability; build the 361 if you want a challenge and uniqueness.

Reasons why to build the 360;

High Performance parts are easy to obtain and less expensive than a 361.

There are many HP recipies where you can choose your performance level; ie. 
4" Stroker crank with W-2 heads and roller cam will get you 500torque & 
500HP.

Any fellow Hot-Rodder or mechanic can work with you and help you maintain or 
do mods without guesswork because of the 360's commonality and performance 
record.

Please... I am not from Norway, I am from Denmark just below Norway, but ok
we used to own Norway some 100 years ago I think, of course we lost it
during a war like we lost a lot of land during war, we never seem to gain
much through war anymore. But I really need some input here, thanks in
advance

'62 to '65 Member Knud-Erik from Norway sent this mail to me but I think it
was for the Mail List.

He is trying to decide what motor to use in his '62 Sport Fury, pictured
here:

See his mail, below, for details.

Thanks,
Gary H.
