I think the 6360 is basically a 54/6400 in a desktop case.
Actually the 62/6300 series of Macs can use a 64/6500 & 54/5500 logic boards but there is a power problem when using PCI slot cards.
If you don't add a PCI card you can upgrade alot of the old Power Macs with the 55/6500 boards. I have a Performa 638CD with a 5500 board in it and an
LC580 all-in-one with a 5500 board in it.
Check out this link for details on the LC580 project:

Am I right in guessing that upgrading a 6360 would be about the same?

I have a Power Macintosh 5400/120, and was wondering what I can upgrade this machine to (besides RAM - 136MB). I have 8.0 on it (going to upgrade to either 8.1 or .6, not sure which).
Hard Disk for a start, it's standard IDE so you can attach any cheap drive
that you pick up from your local computing store, provided that it's less
than or up to about 120GB. I'd look on eBay for cheap 10GB or so drives.
Logic Board? It slides right out the back - look for a board from a
5500/6500 which will give you speed of up to 300MHz and that extra 1MB of
video RAM which helps the 5xxx display hugely.
CD-Rom drive... Yours is probably 4x or 8x... This can be upgraded, just
make sure you get a 50-pin SCSI one! I have no idea why the HDD is IDE and
the CD-Rom is SCSI but it is, lol, eBay again!
TV Card? FM Card?
Oh the possibilities! Upgrade to 8.6 BTW, IMHO it's better and run's fine on
your machine.
HTH,
Phil
