Any experience with the 360 or 318 in pick up trucks

Re: Who ran or running 80s dodge d150 pick up in stock
 

My friend Jack Foshee races a 80 Truck = Runs about a week under the index.

We ran a 81 to 86 (Same body except Grille) for a long time and it ran
around 1.3 to 1.6 under.

There is one in Canada and another in Ohio that is very fast.

Difficult to dial = Think a garage Door in the wind!

Easy to see out of at the Finish.

Many different HP combos for 360.

Sound good any experience with 318
Were y'all running with factory head or aftermarket

There was one that showed up in this area that was in "N" . It ran fast for the class, sounded really gnarly. It might have been one from the Irving stable. I assume it was the 360, and it had a thermoquad on top of an iron intake.

Factory heads (much cheaper)

We run a 318 Aspen Wgn (Held National Record for a couple years).

The 318 is same HP in F Body so no reason to run it in a Giant
Brick of a truck

The 360s are as much as 45 less HP than in cars and WAY MORE
compression in Truck. I have never seen a 360 Truck that was
not a Rocket!

Is there any advantage/disadvantage to the '90s engine with TBI over the '80s carb'ed engines?

Re: Who ran or running 80s dodge d150 pick up in stock
 

The 80's thermoquads flow better CFM than throttle bodies and have many
more favorable combos.
