I vote rebuild it in your spare time as a hobby.  What was the question? Heck yes! If your going to the trouble of dropping a 360 in a slant car, make it look good. Why not? Better yet, go buy a car that already has a 360 in it. That will be cheaper. Really. CJ |

I just can't find any cars that go cheap besides its more the sental mental value being it was my first car given as a gift what lead me to a dream of going to college after highschool to be a mechanic I have the hots for classic cars MOPAR! All the way!! My question was shld I look for the 360 first and were can I find one? Cuz I dnt no were to go for the engine and tranny cheap and should I do that first or the body work the slant six oh I have memories with that little power machine I'm going to rebuild it for sure! As a hobby;) |

The question is do you want a nice looking ornament or a running car? I say stick with the six, rebuild it and get it mechanically sound, safe with good brakes, and take care of any electrical gremlins and leave the looks for last. |

A high performance Slant 6 can run really well and will get you 10 times the looks and comments of a 360. Everyone has a V-8. One mans prejudiced opinion! Rick |

it is way more fun to beat the pants off them and then open hood to show the leaning tower of power |
