* Displacement: 318 cubic inches (5.2 liters)
* Horsepower: 175-230 hp
* Torque: 265-340 lb-ft
Dodge 360 Engine
* Displacement: 360 cubic inches (5.9 liters)
* Horsepower: 193-255 hp
* Torque: 290-345 lb-ft
As you can see, the 360 engine has a larger displacement and more horsepower and torque than the 318 engine. This is because the 360 engine has a longer stroke and larger cylinder bores than the 318 engine. The longer stroke gives the 360 engine more leverage to generate torque, while the larger cylinder bores allow it to flow more air and fuel, which results in more horsepower.
In general, the 360 engine is a better choice for performance applications than the 318 engine. However, the 318 engine is a good choice for budget-minded builds or for applications where low-end torque is more important than horsepower.
