suggestions for my 340?

LOL. Im sort of new. Did 1 small block 360 about 13 years ago, and had a very experienced person walk me through it, so I dont remember much.

Pretty familiar with the trials/tribulations of installation though lol. I've done quite a few newer cars, for myself and others.

I may hold off on anything serious, and save up for some nice aluminum heads with headers at the same time, also averting changing springs so all I will need is a cam to go with that.

Seems my first step is an intake manifold/carburetor setup. Then I'll save for heads/cam/headers. The intake has no brand new, just firing order and some other numbers stamped on it... and yes it is steel.


just saw new posts while typing this:
I am planning on taking it to the track shortly for a baseline. I just bought the car, which is why I know very little about it (about a week ago). I know that right now sadly my srt4 would blow the doors off it, and Im wanting to fix that lol. :burnout: .

Sorry, I charge for test drives. Feel free to fly up though and maybe I'll consider it. :blob:

No interest in 'leaving it alone', but I will be doing tasteful stuff and not chopping it up. I thought about a custom turbo, but that would again turn into 'chopping it up'. I have considered spraying it (I've used i before on my dakota r/t), and I know that is pretty cheap hp.
