My guess is no, the 361 is probably a flat deck motor. The same reason a 427 from a Chevy C70 isn't the same as a 427 from an Impala.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Often with mopar a HP engine is a spin-off of a truck engine. Check this item number on ebay: 8023584178 Crankshaft fits 361 or 383 with 8-hole flange like a Hemi crank. I'm for sure if your hurting for a 426 max-wedge block, a 413 truck block with get it going again. Thanks, Dennis......   [Reply]  [Send Email]
