Hey all you smart 340 engine guys...

I'm with the 340 being better to stroke. But good machine work will have everything live long, abuse aside. He he he.

There is a slight clearancing issue with big rod ends. I'm not to sure, but I thikn stock stuff clears. If it doesn't, the notch is small and the machinest can do it after lunch without a problem.

Do not run needle bearing rockers.

Edelbrocks are better OOTB (Should be at least) They'll port out close to each other.
The iron will work great on a lower compresion engine. Heat is retained, power is retained.

For the street, a Dual plane like a RPM, Air strike etc....
Very hot street, a M-1 or Victor

Spend the money on tti's. They'll do best.
I'd use the Hooker super comp big tubes for beastly power up top. For a race purpose, they may be worth the head expolding in fitment.
