have you thought about turning it into a 390? same cost-after you get a crank and rods- and you can go with the same cam or even a bit larger than you'd use in the 360 and get more power and a better idle... just a thought.. post this in the FE enine forum and you'll get a ton of help!!! i would probably go with the crane 901 i a 360 though....
