Hmmm, I'm not sure. I *think* its the same block, but I can't confirm
that. (The stupid magnum engines book doesn't list a max overbore for the
360, just the 318.) :-P The max overbore is listed as .040, which would
put the max bore at 3.95"; the 360 has 4.00". That would suggest the block
is indeed different somehow... ? Can anyone confirm/deny this?
The 360 only has .09" more bore than the 318; most of the displacement
difference is due to the .27" additional stroke. I would guess to get
the 6.4l displacement out of the 318, they would have bored out the 318 as
much as possible (3.95") and used a 3.98-3.99 stroke. ?
