Re: DT360 into a squarebody?
Most of these old mechanical engines are dogs until you mess with them IMO. I would put a p-pumped 360 in a truck if I could find one affordable. They are just too high in price for me. The best part of these over a 5.9 IMO is the intake bolts on to the head and is less restrictive. Most of these were a pump engines. They still can make decent power but if I were going to do it, that's what I'd want. They make a lot of parts for them due to the tractor pullers.
I've never seen a 360 with an automotive bell housing so IDK about that. Every one I've ever seen has a SAE type bell housing. You could possibly use an adapter from Phoenix Castings. Most ford guys doing this swap used the trans that came with the 360 from what I've seen.
