hey lal357 i have a built amc 304 with a 4 barrel edelbrock performer series carb and also a edelbrock performer series intake manifold that i had on my cj before i sent it up to blacksheep to put a ls1 motor in it. let me know if any of this would be useful. i believe the 304 and 360 are the same block so if you are rebuilding the 360 the carb and intake should work on it. i also still have the fenderwell headers for that motor. when i pulled my 258 the 304 bolted right up to the T5 tranny i had no problem
