They sold the house beside me. No more additional zealousness from the code enforcement officer. The 360 in the machine shop doesn't seem to be happening, am going to just throw one together and get this car moving
!The wife is tolerating them being stacked in the kitchen right now.
These are '596 heads: 318 & 360 during the late 70's & early 80's i believe.Shiny!
318 or 360?
In the combustion chamber, did you use a sanding wheel/drum or a grinding wheel?
Did you lap the valves/seats in, or get them ground?

The 1970 block came out of a 1971 C body. I drove 1400+ miles round trip to pick it up. It's a shame. The 1970's block would have been capable of a large bore. Ryan Johnson claims to have sonic checked and bored one out for a performance build to 4.2", if you can imagine adding a bloomer performance 4.25" crankshaft to that.’596 Cylinder heads fit ’77-86 360’s.
They do have larger valves and ports than a 318 has.
The 360 (2-bbl) did not come out until ’71 (in C-bodies). Unless you have an early one cast in 1970, it is not worth anything more than any other 360 block – but I don’t think I have seen a 1970 cast 360, before (and I have seen thousands of 360’s).
The first 2-3 years of 360's are hard to find (and were all 2-bbls).
