And from what I was told by a couple of friends who owned them, it wasn't much of a truck engine either. No power, and really lousey gas mile-age.

They were used in the late 60's{67?} to 75,when they were replaced by the 351M. The 360 was a smaller FE,in relation to the 390. It was a good engine. I've seen a few of them work as good stump pullers.

My buddy is a Mopar guy and he would never forgive me for saying this, He owns a '72 Duster with a 360 in it. The Mopar 360 is a smog motor/boat anchor. And its distributor is in the back, so you dont have one of those.

the motor in your buddy's jeep is more than likely an AMC 360, not a ford.It is basicly the same motor as the AMC 390 and 401, just less bore and stroke. If I remember correctly, the blocks are the same. There should be plenty of info on some of the jeep sites. There are quite a bit of parts available for these motors from edelbrock, etc. remember the days when jeep was owned by amc
and harley davidson was owned by amf???  chris [This message has been edited by lawless (edited 06-10-2003).]

In 78,the Jeep corporation was owned by American Motors. It could be anything under the hood. I don't think it's a Ford engine though. They did source some parts from Ford and AC Delco,though.

An AMC's distributor will be in the front, but tilted towards the driver's side. A Ford has it sticking straight up like a... {nevermind  } ------------------
