Getting ready to do that all over again, all over a 496 stroker? Why not use what you have all ready sacrificed over? Your 360 is not lacking for power especially for what you plan on doing.
In short... YES!!!!
The 360 is decent BUT, it doesn't have 600+hp and tons of torque like the 496 stroker will... As is I've been slowly gathering the parts for the stroker so this time it's not hitting the pockets like it did with the AMC build. The stroker has better options when it comes to building it and changing out parts...
As for the 360, If I can find a small/light vehicle I'd toss it in and run down some chevy's/fords/etc... I've been looking for a while for something that's decent and I haven't had any luck... If somebody showed up and said here's $2000 I'll take that motor... I'd load it in the back of his/her truck.
