That doesn't give us much to work with.
For the 360 FE, if it is stock. Which year truck?

1) hedders and decent exhaust
2) ignition curve
3) cam, stock is very small
4) new induction, manifold, carb

If you just mean ignition curve and carb tuning, for 87 octane,
16 initial timing, 22 centrifugal all in about 2800, No centrifugal timing before 1000 rpm. Vacuum advance as necessary, test and drive. Depends on cam, load, gearing, etc.
