I would vote stroked SB or a low-deck bb, but since they are not options......vote withheld.

Wonderful. Now let's see a rematch on a twistie road.

Stroke a big block

 

[Abodybomber]

No vote here, a drive by with loud exhaust is a waste of time. ( you either double clutched ,or hit the rev limiter in second,on the high end. ) Find someone who actually races,or get track video...

 

[stroked340]

That suppose to be some kind of race...

 

[rumblefish360]

It was for the Vette, not so much for the MoPar.

 

[roccodart440]

Dart gave him every advantage. Rolling start and the dart has a bog. Vette hit the limiter. There was nothing left on the table. I'd love to read the excuses on the C5 forum......

[roccodart440]

low deck big block is an option

 

[RustyRatRod]

That Corvette was barely moving.

C-5 350 HP eh.. but unless you have a hellcat leave the new vette's alone

 

[wwsmith77831]

As the owner of a 68 340 cuda and an 06 LS2 Corvette I can tell you for a fact that the 340 will lose every time.

maybe it would loose against a LS2 but they said C5. slight difference there don't ya think

compare apples to apples
I don't think the 06 is a c5, I think it stopped in 04 there is a major difference between the c5 gen and later models I know there is HP wise.


the 68 cuda 340 vs 68 vette to a mid to late 80's vette would be a closer call.
here is a link to the corvette HP ratings.

[RustyRatRod]

The Vette would walk all over the 340 car. Sorry, that's just how it is. The Vette is measured in NET horsepower, while the 340 car was measured in GROSS horsepower. Ultimately, that means the Vette has much more.

Driver has a great deal to do with results

 

[AJ/FormS]

I goofed; I meant stroked low-deck BB.Like a 451,478,etc

 

[451Cuda]

Where's the gen III hemi swap option?

 

[dodge71demon]

5.9 magnum I did a big block and hate it

 

[AJ/FormS]

For a streeter;(cuz that;s all I know)
since the advent of the Magnums,and since it's been proven time and again that on the street,the 360crank lives at the same rpms as the steel cranks; In my mind, the stock-stroke 340 is now much less desirable than it once was.( I still have 4 or 5 in storage)
360 cubes is hard to best as an overall package; in terms of serviceability,weight, cost to build,powertrain survival,just the right amount of torque and power,etc. In a light-weight A, they can be Dynomite! I can only imagine the performance of a stroked SBM.
So if you add the stroked-340, I'd vote on that. But if you add stroked-Magnum360 to your poll, I'd change my vote to that.Vote still withheld.

408


or a blown 225 with a 250 shot of nitrous

 

[stroked340]

Loved my 340's..but a properly built "stock stroked" 360 will get the job done no problem..

 

[ScampMike]

I'd take that 'vette on - no shot in the vid of the speeds reached, but it didn't look like they went all that fast...
