Re: 360 for a '64 Valiant

[Lee Sumpter <leesumpter@xxxxxxxxx>]

We had a 360 in a 65 Cuda several years ago. You have to use a
properly balanced torque converter. The 360 is balanced differently
than the 273. Also, you will need a car oil pan and pickup tube, the
sump is in the wrong place on the truck pan.
