   Depends, how much do you plan to spend? This would be an excellent
opportunity to introduce your Dak to the 528 HEMI crate motor. ;-) There's
nothing quite like doubling your HP output to get the ol' juices flowing! :-)

  If my engine ever goes, I plan to replace it with a 360.

  Any idea what happened to your engine? Something to do with the recent
cam swap maybe?
