i'll agree with the others that the 32/36 would be way too small for a
360, and that the holley 2300 or motorcraft 2100 can probably be
tweaked to run really well.  i'll just mention that weber makes
rectangle-base 2bbls up to 45mm, and their odd spread pattern up to
58mm, and afaik both have replaceable venturii so can be tuned even
more than usual for engine size and performance.
