Love big block torque in a small block. Guess that’s why I’m such a big fan of mopar

Richard please don't ever stop making videos. You're a one-of-a-kind national treasure.

Yay, old school LA Mopar build! Low buck, too. Usually these shows go straight to the 408 stroker and aluminum heads. Those ain't in my budget. I'm encouraged that I can approach 400 hp with a flat tappet cam and iron heads! Plenty for my truck.

Those LA 360's are one of the most underrated engines out there. Carb, intake, headers, mild porting and cam of about 280 duration is enough to propel an A body into the high 11's.

Hell, I'm not even a "Dodge guy" and this was a nice change of pace.

That was very cool. That poor 360 was being choked out from the factory, it couldn’t breathe. As we all know a good set of heads would’ve made a massive difference. I really enjoyed that Richard.

Where was the turbo? Love the mopar small block stuff! Please run more mopar small block stuff!! I am betting that motor would make 700 no problem with boost

I need to refresh. Miss working on V-8 engines, worked on diesels 35 yrs. Loved cars and pus. Grew up working on brothers cars, my cars, dads semis, trailers, tractors, etc.

Dodge guy says LIKE! And yeah, looking forward to the Trickflows on a Magnum or an LA!

The Mopar 360 is often overlooked, and underappreciated. They are a good Torquey street engine. When mildly modified, they can more then hold their own. Great video.

The Edelbrock Quadrajet

When I was a kid, my dad and I were driving an old 15 passenger Dodge church van with a 2 barrel 318 in it full of people. We came to a stoplight at the bottom of a steep hill and of corse it turned red. He put in 1st manual and we got half way up the hill when the van slowed to a stop, gas pedal to the floor. I looked at my dad and said, “ it’s easier to pull something than to push it, go back down the hill and try it in reverse”. It crawled all the way to the top in reverse. Then we had to shut it off and pop the hood so it could cool down for half an hour. Lol.

Hell yeah. Love it. Can't wait for the magnum engine episode. Would absolutely love to see a magnum big bang engine. If I lived closer I'd give you one to do it with.

From Leo: Anytime you are over 400 ft pd of torque at normal operating RPM, you have a very good driving vehicle. I am impressed with that from a 360 Mopar in street trim. Thank you for your work

This is just great for me you did all this with the stock pistons, now I can build one of my 360 LA I have and go with the last modifications and have a nice street engine for my 76 dodge charger ....thank you for all the testing you do you really clear things up and save people money from buying parts that don't give the best bang for the buck.

Great video, please keep the mopar stuff coming! I just saw an old episode of Engine Masters and was happy to see you on it. Great energy and info keep it up much appreciated

I’d love to see a 318 done this same way.

Thank you so much. This is EXACTLY the information I needed. Not everyone is building a 10 second nitrous fed 1/4 mile monster. Some of us want real world, DAILY driven performance without spending $2,000 on a pair of cylinder heads.

Awesome vid Richard !! Thanks for taking the time to research and test these underappreciated engine combos. It really helps illustrate to everyone that performance V8 builds are not limited to only GM stuff. Well done.👍

Heck ya!! I even watched the commercial for ya I was so happy!!!! Keep the dodge stuff coming. Like to see more testing on the gen 3 hemi stuff, intake manifold swaps, cam swaps, head work
