The 370/168 had UP models ranging from 1 MiB to 8 MiB. Double that for MP. The Amdahl 470V/6 was available in 1 MiB through 8 MiB.

Maybe so, but Amdahl started shipping the 470V/6 in 1975 with 4 MB of memory standard, and I'm pretty sure that the 370 model 168 also had 4 MB in that time frame. I'm pretty sure that either of those processors would outperform a 360/75 by a considerable margin.
