Sorry bout your dad... I lost my mom to cancer not quite 2 years ago.
In all honesty, unless you've got a LOT of mechanical knowledge, time, and money, it'll be a lot cheaper and easier to just trade it in for a V8. If it still runs good and you wanna keep it, I'd just work on fixing it up as it is now.

Dude, sorry to hear about your old man! I also lost my father to cancer less than a year ago. But I'd go with Josh's advice. Dropping in a 360 would require a lot of work and money. And probably give you a lot of problems. Study up on it though. Good luck!

To be really honest with you, try studying up on a 340 instead of the 360. If you can get your hands on one than it's probably a lot easier to accomplish. But if your stuck on a 360 than go ask a real mechanic, someone who drags cars or something. They would know best. It can be done!! I know that for a fact.Good luck little man!!
