Default 1978 Dodge Magnum stocker?

I love oddball combos, this might not be an oddball but I would like to get an opinion on if this is viable. Its heavy, can be run as a 2 brl or a 4brl with a intake /carb switch (same cam and heads for either). Wants a grand but probably can get it for 600 or so. IF I do pull the trigger, you can count on a post by post build up here. N/O/P as a 2brl, L/M/N as a 4brl.

With the 4bbl it's OK but the 2bbl would need about 20 HP back to be worth your while.

the 360 270hp is the way to go. It would run under the index cheap.

Cool Re: 1978 Dodge Magnum stocker?

Listen to Paul Wong. Incidentally,do these cars have the long straight front torsion bars,or the removable front K member with the bent bars contained in it?
