Amen! New Years resolution is to get the neighborhood nerd to take me by the hand and show me how to post pics. I'm not the best with printed instructions.

New guy here, this is my current project truck.
1977 Dodge Power Wagon, blew up the 360 mopar motor that was in it, to expensive to rebuild so I am going to be swapping in a small block 302 ford motor backed by a C6 trans and a NP203 transfer case. Axles are still a toss up on what to go with. My goal with this truck is to have something that is simple and that works, also to be able to go to the local parts store and get parts off the shelf or the local salvage yard and get parts. Enough of me yakkin on and on heres some pics.
Two weeks before I blew up the motor.
Current status. (Waiting on funds to finish the 302)
I am a believer in the K.I.S.S. method with stuff like trucks.
Plans for the truck:
Aluminum frame canvas top for the back
Swing out tire gate for spare, fuel, water
Change rear leafs to a softer spring
Newer tires (looking at mil-surp Humvee tires)
rock sliders
cab cage

Cause I have most of the expensive stuff already and got the 302 with fresh rotating assembly for $50us. Along with that I do all my own fabrication and keeping it carbureted. The area I live in the parts stores don't stock older dodge parts at all, also ford used this motor for many many years in everything from cars to truck so its a versatile motor that parts cross reference from many different models. The 302 rebuild with a set of used heads will be under 1000 dollars. Also the 302 is a roller rocker motor and they run cooler out here than the 360's do.

It's your call but I foresee it being much easier to stick another Mopar engine in there if you can have the RC sit a bit just pull the 360 and give it a rebuild if you need it running get a Junk Yard engine and then rebuild your 360.
Rockers will have no impact on overall engine temp the shaft mounted setup is a really good system until you get to very large Cam lifts.
Here is the setup I used
Basic 360 rebuild .030 over using Keith Black 107 pistons CR about 9.8:1
Moly Rings
Crank is .010 on main & rods using full grove main bearings
HV oil pump
Jegs .420/.440 Cam
Dual Roller Cam
Cloyes timing chain tensioner Cloyes PN #9-5387
Rockauto has
CLEVITE / PERFECT CIRCLE Part # PMK8006 Engine : Master Rebuild Kit $872.99
Sumit Racing has
Sealed Power Federal Mogul Premium Engine Rebuild Kits Part #CSMHP814-322 for $429.95
Check out the link in my Sig you can probably get some local help/parts in the Chapters section.

If it just needed to do a rebuild like that it would be cheap and I would do it, but this motor needs the heads gone through. Guides, seats, valves, springs, shaft rockers, etc. There's only 2 360's in the junk yards near me and they all want over 700 for a motor.
