does anybody know of

Officially, 1979 was the last year for a 360 in an F-body, and I think very few (almost nil) in 1980 with M or J-body’s.

Now with that said, Chrysler would install a 360 with a large fleet purchase, like for police departments.
For us little guys – the only way to get an FMJ vehicle with a 360, was to install one yourself.

The E58 was plentiful in 1980 J body's (cop cars) and it takes me back to 1975 when you supposedly could only get the H.P. 400 in a Roadrunner but rumor was some got 440's. Back then my next door neighbor, the sheriff had 1975 4 door Coronets and downsize Furys with orange air cleaner 440's with duals and no cats so I thought -rumor could be true
 
There are a number of E58 1980 F-body cop cars. J-bodies were built in small numbers, but they turn up regularly. There was supposedly both an Apen R/T and Volare Roadrunner used on the auto show circuit that were factory built E58 cars, but they have not turned up
 
Cops didn't use J bodiy (Mirada/Cordoba) 2 doors back then, they always used 4 doors (until CHiPs bought the infamous Mustang 5.0s). There were 67 Mirada CMXs built with 360s, but I have no idea how many Cordobas may have been build with E58/360s, if any.
 
Here is an 80 j body born with an E58
