@MOPAROFFICIAL Thats a bummer it crashed on you, sorry to hear that @hooterville express Thats true that you can have fun with a normal 340, but a 416 is something that I have been thinking about for years after I put the engine away in the garage. I just think that it will be a fun car to...

@Rumblefish That is the main reason for wanting a stroker engine. Torque is fun. I would guess my goal is over 425 hp and torque, it would make me pretty satisfied with this particular vehicle. But I wouldnt mind more than that either

Hey guys, whats wrong with a grandmas car! Jk I want it to run pretty hot, in the end all I want is vacuum brakes and also Im trying to be modest online. You hear people say its a street car BUT I want to go to the drag strip a couple times a year...in the end, its just a street car lol I...

@MOPAROFFICIAL You mean I cant run an open diff and do one wheelie peelies "as my nephew would say" with this set up lol I plan on having this car for many years to come, Ive owned it since I was 21. It should be pretty rock solid on that side, even put on a driveshaft loop this summer. If...

@autoxcuda Very cool ride, thank you for posting that video on here for me. Im glad to hear your combo is working good over the years. I would still want the power brakes just for ease of driving, so the milder cam would more then likely be better. Im very great full to everyone who has...

Thanks for all the replies, @B34 Im around Waterford, how about you. Sounds like converter is last on the "purchase" list. @autoxcuda Did you try that combo in one of your rides, or are you thinking thats a good set up for me? I was going to do Forged pistons, rods and crank. I hope this...

Sweet! Speaking of converter...You think around an 1800 stall or am I way off

I will try to get a hold of Dwayne Porter and get some insight on that side. Sounds like I will leave the heads alone, just double check everything for a street car. Thanks for the 1008 part number. This will be a fun build.

Here is a picture from a compression calculator @rumble put on here for me. I looked on this forum and seen that the deck height is probably .018 so I added that in. I looked on summit for the gasket bore diameter and chose the 4.080 because I didnt want overlap into the cylinder, at least that...

@B34, that was actually one of the kits I was looking at/pulled the specs from for this post. Thank you @justin, thanks for the contact info. I am going to try the compression calculator Rumble sent me to get an idea for what Im doing.

Thank you for messaging AJ, I appreciate that. And I dont think it was a bad idea at all, I got the quote and he said it would be $1k. Kinda rich for my blood right now. I can always pull the heads off another year and port them over the winter if Im bored enough I guess. Nothing beats a good...

Thank you for the hint with replying, sorry about that. And for the camshaft, thats what I was thinking. I tried reading about them in other forums and it just made me more unsure of what to get lol Hopefully something mild to do a couple burnouts at parties and drive able for cruising.

So I am resurrecting an old project of mine. I bought an old 340 motor from a friend, tore it down. Had it chem dipped and sonic checked, which turned out good. Then came into some money issues"got married" haha so I sprayed oil on the block, shrink wrapped it and put it away for a few years...
