440, no mods needed for that beast

You can put anything in there with enough time and money! I think jegs sells a crate 360 that puts out just over 400 horse.

 

[TexasCornBread]

Hmmm... Will that 440 just drop in hook up n play ??

I'm not looking for real fast just looking for a motor that can replace my ol faithful 360

I pull my trailer with my truck .

I wonder if a crate 360 would just swap in my truck and go.

I bet it would drop in easily, as for play, yes I imagine it'll play, but not nice lol. But if you just convert to EFI on the 440 I imagine it'll be AWSOME.

 

[TheMaddog]

ehh, lets bump it up to a 572. with 650 hp

 

[PCA4208]

If he's going to go that route might as well get the 800 hp viper crate!

 

[TexasCornBread]

Haha . Lets just keep this simple . It looks like the crate 360 puts out 393hp but as stated will it just drop in hook up and go .

I'm sure ill hear just get a new 360 from a junkyard I just don't want someone else's motor that I have no clue about I want a new motor that I can take care of from day one with some castrol synthetic !

I would go with the hemi but that's alot of work just to make it play

[TheMaddog]

okay, going from $17k to $40k is quite a step up in price.

 

[TexasCornBread]

REEF I figured out what jasper was ! I'm looking into it hard now

I'm sure hoping someone can shed some light on a mopar magnum 360

I'd love to run this engine . As long as it is drop and play . If someone can please shed some light if I drop it in a hook it up to my factory wire harness and what nots will it work . I would also get a fast mans 55 mil TB to put on it . But would run my stock TB for a short time .

From hemi's to 440's to 572 ok then. Do NOT get a Jasper motor you will regret it 100%. Mopar create 390hp magnum motors are like trying to find hen's teeth and are set up to run a carb so not really friendly to use it with a mpi setup. Have a talk with a few machine shops in your area and see what they have to offer, rebuild yours to 408 or just a mean 360.

What are your goals here just a good running fresh motor or ????
