Pardon me for my ignorance and perhaps I can be corrected but , I thought that 360 cubic inch motors were not fitted to Dodge trucks as original . The 360 is a car motor - when I was driving a Dodge that had the big V8 , I was informed by a parts supplier and overhauler of these engines that they were actually a BIG BLOCK truck engine of 361 cubic inches , and were designed for truck operation ?

yes the bigger engine option was the 361 (heavy duty truck version) ..but for some reason many people seem to refer to them as a 360

if i can put my 2 bobs worth in 361s were heavier in the bottom end , crank department that is , they also had sodium filled valves to run cooler , we used to only run them on standard petrol and advance the timing so they would just PING on full throttle , with a steady throttle they were just as economical as a 318 cu from memory 3600 revs was fine , any thing over 3600 rpm you are likely to pull the heads off valves , a balanced 361 you could stand a glass of water on top of air cleaner and not spill a drop , i will get off now before i start living in the past with my passions of DODGES .

I am pretty sure it is a 360 small block in the D5N. Disi is at the back, it is allegedly 5900ccs or so rego says as do any of my knowledgable mates.
