They are both the same displacement but intended for different applications. So the piston style would be completely different. EGGE pistons are for the earlier 361.




... well ...

Come to find out that neither block is the same. The 361 has a bore and stroke of 4.0469 x 3.50 and the later 360 4.05 x 3.50.

Learn something every day ...
