MoPar potential?
 
A person contacted me about the potential of a '96 Dodge truck with a 318 or 360. I know nothing about those engines, but I told him I would ask here. Anybody got info or opinions?

Jeff Teuton had a truck combo or two several years ago but sold them. He may have some advice.

His old truck (I believe it was his) is owned by Sam Lusco and may be for sale. Sam is a great guy and has really refined the truck.

The Lovins family (John and daughter Jackie) have a pair of Dodge trucks from near Dayton Ohio. Kelly Thomas from Div 6 has a truck, I think one of Tueton's old trucks. There are a few others around that have them also.

Kelley Thomas has a very fast truck.....Think it is around that year.
Most 360 have a good HP ratings-318 not so good.

Thanks for all the input!

Is there enough potential in those engines to qualify them as "dime rockets"?

Kelly Thomas truck is my old truck. he has qualified very well and won a race or two. The R/T head is legal for the truck now, and the edlebrock will be soon if not now with little or no mods. If someone wanted to be a little creative, a v10 truck would run very well. Kelly's truck is a 360. I have a lot of info on both the 360 and v10. I bet the v10 would run 1.5 under easy. Makes more torque than a diesel.

The Magnum engines definitely aren't "dime rocket" engines.....while the Mopar R/T head is legal they were discontinued a while back and the Edelbrock is now available and requires a lot of cash to purchase and make ready to bolt on....
