Here's an idea... Since this is a future project anyway, you may
want to wait until the 5.7 HEMI comes out. That'd probably be a better
powerplant than the 360, and MIGHT even share the 4.7's engine mounts,
bellhousing, etc. There's a good chance it could be practically a
bolt-in, the way a 360 is practically a bolt-in for 318 trucks.
? Food for thought. :-)
