Re: 304, 360, or 401

I've had a CJ-7 with the 258 and put a 360 in it, WOW. With a 2 barrell carb it would go! The CJ-7 I have now had a strong 304 in it. I put a '74 401 in it. Had the block bored .30 over, new piston's, bearings, 2 new valves, both heads cleaned up. Edelbrock performer carb, intake, cam and lifter's. Header's, Jacob's Ultra coil and wires. 4-core radiator, duel oil filters and an oil cooler. The motor and extra's cost about 2 grand, and it is absolutely unreal how much power and torque it has. I've always wanted to get it dyno-ed but don't where to get that done. For more power the only other motor to look at would be a 401 out of a Javelin, maybe. I have scout axles with 3.07 gearing and a t-18 tranny, at 55 mph it will get 14.5 mpg.
