STR 12 Edelbrock Crossram

Hot Rod used one of these in one of their drag projects in 1970, in a then new 1970 Duster 340. With a four speed and 5.13's they eventually got it to run a high 10 or low 11... they had the 2X4 top and a pair of 660's.. and it still requred work with popsicle sticks and epoxy to correct the fuel distribution. I can only imagine the mess it would be with a single 4 barrel..just like any other tunnel ram I have ever seen.

It would be interesting if the magazines would revisit their builds from the past and see what they could do today.. one of their 340 build ups had 13:1 compression, a huge solid cam and a tunnel ram and made 500 hp.. some folks do that now with a 10:1 compression, a single 4 barrel and streetable cams. Makes you wonder what 30 years of technological developement would do to one of the old builds.. fun to think about anyway.
