This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

1960 364

    so the 1960 364 had a 2 bbl. Earlier years offered a 4 bbl, rated 50 hp higher than the 2 bbl.

    I’m told a 4 bbl would make a considerable difference. Is this just due to fuel volume or did the 4bbl intake flow that much better? Perhaps it was a different cam as well?

    looks like the 364 had 210-235-250-300 hp ratings, with the 300 hp it was called a performance option and peak tq came in at 2800 rpms instead of 2400 rpms , so thinking a bigger cam on that one. sure dual exhaust and higher compression ratio had a big factor too on different hp ratings, along with 4-barrel carb.

    I don't even know what version I have other than single exhaust and 2 bbl. Nothing noted on the air cleaner. I suppose its in the body tag codes so I need to find some kinda decoding chart.

    i guess the 210 hp was for the 3- speed manual tranny. so that leaves you with 235 or 250 and that depends on compression ratio. 235 = 9.0 comp and 250 =10.25. the 300 hp must be 4-barrel dual exhaust and may be a little hotter cam or the 4- barrel makes peak tq at a higher rpm ?. Tom T. or another board member would know more about it.
