well, I went over to the local racer's house last night, and was pretty blown away by the Moparage! '69 440 GTX, '64 Max Wedge Coronet, '70 Duster drag car, '69 440 Charger, '79 Lil Red Express... WOW!
Despite some of the best advice on the planet given to me, I just could not pass up the 340.
The fact that it is a local, virgin, Standard bore, unmolested block, and CAME OUT OF A '69 car. was just too much to walk away from.
So, the learning needs to continue.
Thanks so much guys, now, anyone point me in the direction of good 340 street builds?
Tom
