Re: 366 bigblock chevy?
The 366 is a 'tall deck' truck big block. They have 4 ring low compression pistons, 4 bolt blocks, and 'peanut port' heads. Not a performance engine. You could change the heads, cam, pistons, and intake/carb., and probably come close to a good 350, but it's a heavy engine and will be thirsty. They are very durable though.
