I won't argue with you there. The 400 definitely had more lower grunt, and would beat it off the line. But once going the 360 had no problem keeping up.
There was a guy I met up north at some of the local car show's. He had a '68 300 convertable, with a 440 six pack under the hood. The car was absolutley beautiful! He is over on the dry dock once and a while. Anywhase he had told us of all the mods he had done to the car, and what not. One day he took a couple freinds, and I to his house to see some of his other toy's. Truthfully I was not really impressed at the power of the car. Granted there were 4 big guy's in the car, it just seemed like the car should have more for what was done to it. Definitely no slouch though..
I have to see if I can find pictures of the car somewhere.. I know there is some pics out on the internet.
What the hell, Im getting in on this to! lol

This car happened to that one. With my parents being separated and me thinking I was going to rule the world with minimum wage jobs I could barely afford one nor did I have a place to keep them. I wanted a convertible, this one had already blew its 383 and It didnt take long for me to blow the 400 that was in it. So I had a choice and I made it, I pulled the 440 out of the polara and the wheels came off and I scrapped the car...........I'm a big dummy.Eventually I blew the rear in the Fury and had a 3:73 sure grip installed. That was the quickest car I ever drove and at 4 miles to the gallon I didnt keep it long, thats where my 72 Challenger came in at...

I stand corrected, you are right. There is the slimmest hair of a difference between the stroke of the 360 engine and 383/400. I guess the 360 is the "odd ball" among its LA brethren. Still doesn't matter.

well, since Polara threw his ENTIRE car(S) in.....
Yes, I know, I know.....the cheap *** lens repair. I had to use that to keep the fuzz from hassling me. I eventually found another one.........in Texas. Oh, that's the beast...and I do mean beast. That Cuda got quite a surprise on rt.322 headed towards Glassboro......Polara you know where that's at......long stretch crosses over rt.55.
I LOVE the unassuming, sleeper look.

I love 400's and 440's, I hate my 383. That 360 was amazing, so was my 340 that I had in that 4 door polara, pulled that from a 1970 340 duster 3 speed.
I'll have an Imp in the next few years. Just have to take my time and find the right one.
