chrysler cordoba 360 question

ColeTrickle · 08-30-2008, 11:33 AM

This might be a dumb question, the Cordoba was introduced in 75 right. I'm reading some stroker literature and it says (for this particular combo) to use a 360 block from 71-74. Cordoba is a year later. Would the 75 Cordoba use the same 360 block by any chance? Or is there even a difference in the two? Any help would be great, thanks.

Found the answer to my own question, 71-74 blocks have more material in the cylinder bore, and thus can be bored out more. The 75 and later blocks were made lighter to improve fuel economy.

Do you have any pictures of your car?

C T .... it was kind of across the board ... all blocks were made thinner because it was cheaper to build them.
