Default any engine gurus out there?
I've heard you can turn a 320 into a 360 because the crank and cases are the same. You need a new cam and heads I've been told. Is this true?

You heard wrong, can't be done. Stroke is different.

No, different, cases, different crank, different cylinders. The cams and pistons quite possibly are the only things that may be common between the two.

Default 0 320/0 360
Many of the later model crankcases fit either 0 320 or 0 360(parallel valve)Cylinders and crankshaft are different. Oil sump and carb are different.
